A common task for scientists and engineers is to analyze data from an external source that may be in a text or comma separated value (CSV) format. By importing the data into MATLAB, data analysis such as statistics, trending, or calculations can be made to synthesize the information into relevant and actionable information. This tutorial demonstrates how to import data, perform a basic analysis, trend the results, and export the results to another text file. A script file of the MATLAB source code with sample data is below.
