Using msiwrite with phased antenna objects

I'm able to plot the radiation pattern from a phased antenna array object; how do I write this to a file using the msiwrite function?
msiwrite seems to accept inputs from other antenna types (e.g. helix), but all the data should be available within the phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement object to be able to be used by the msiwrite function. What am I missing?
fc = 500e6;
antenna = phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement(...
'FrequencyRange',[50e6,1000e6],...
'AxisDirection','Z');
array = phased.UCA('NumElements',11,'Radius',1.5,'Element',antenna);
msiwrite(antenna,fc,'UCA_File');
Error using msiwrite (line 41)
Too many input arguments.

msiwrite() is defined in the Antenna toolbox.
phased.ShortDipoleAntennaElement is defined in the Phased Array System Toolbox.
The two are simply not compatible.

Thanks Walter; is there an equivelant for msiwrite in the Phased Array System Toolbox? All the required data seems to be there. If not, I can write one myself, no worries.
Thanks again for the help.
I do not see anything relevant. At the moment I do not see any write routines for the PAS at all.
