Hi

i wanted to save my generated datafile in folder "C:\Users\IISER BPR\Documents\MATLAB\Instrument program\SMU_Keysight\Data"

I dont want to use movefile because it shows error. can someone please suggest me that how to do that?

it will bve great if one write small code.

Thanks in advance

Include the full path in your file name when you save the file.

You can use the function fullfile to help you combine your path and filename into a single string.

thanks in prior!

How are you generating your data? What function are you using to save the data?

[Somnath Kale]

I am continuously collecting data in array and then making table using array and then writing table to the data file. here is the attached code:

% To save and Display the collected data
Resisatnce = Voltage./Current ;
Collected_Data = table(Time, Voltage, Current, Resisatnce) ;
writetable(Collected_Data, DatafileName,"Delimiter",'\t') ;
% to move datafile to Data Folder
movefile(DatafileName, 'C:\Users\IISER BPR\Documents\MATLAB\Instrument program\SMU_Keysight\Data') 

By the way i have another question also can I write the data directly to the text file?

Untested

% To save and Display the collected data
Resisatnce = Voltage./Current ;
Collected_Data = table(Time, Voltage, Current, Resisatnce) ;
path = 'C:\Users\IISER BPR\Documents\MATLAB\Instrument program\SMU_Keysight\Data';
writetable(Collected_Data, fullfile(path,DatafileName),"Delimiter",'\t') ;

I do not have any experience trying to stream data directly to a file. You might find this post helpful. If not, I suggest starting a new question for that.
