- Automatically detect outliers via MAD (Median Absolute Deviation).
- Interpolate missing timestamps using
retimepresets. - Generate pure MATLAB code with the click of a button.
- The "Better" angle: The Live Editor documents every action as comments in the generated code, teaching you syntax as you work.
: Users can define layout and formatting using PDF, Microsoft Word, and HTML templates, tailoring reports to meet organizational style guidelines including logos and footnotes. Simplified Form Filling
Interactive Controls: New color pickers and state buttons allow for more dynamic script interaction.
: The Report API and Document Object Model (DOM) API have been refined to simplify filling in forms programmatically, reducing the need for explicit loops and complex coding. Automated Presentations
