Can I use hexa address like '0xF2' value in Matlab?

Hi guys all...

I am programming about serial communication..

I wandering if I can use hexa address like '0xF2' value such as c code.

For example, refer to following.

ch=Temp_buffer(1);
if(ch=0xF2)
data[0]=ch;
elseif(ch=0xF6)
data[1]=ch;
end

Like above, can I use hexa address like '0xF2' value in Matlab?

Also how can I get bit stream data through serial communication.

Thanks~

sscanf('F2', '%x') is much faster than hex2dec.

Don't know anything about the second question. As to the first, because MATLAB does not have a hex format in the language, you have to use strings and hex2dec. For example,

    if ch == hex2dec('F2')
        data(1) = ch;
    elseif ch == hex2dec('F6')
        data(2) = ch;
    end

Obviously it would be a little more efficient in MATLAB just to use the decimal values and put the hex values in a comment.

    if ch == 242 % 0xF2
        data(1) = ch;
    elseif ch == 246 % 0xF6
        data(2) = ch;
    end
