matlab app designer change label text

This video shows the steps to design a counter in App Designer. It shows how external MATLAB functions can be called from within the App designer code and the variables can be shared across functions using global concept.

Towards the later part in this video it shows how one can take the input from Simulink Model into App Designer Code to design the counter.

We will be glad to hear from you regarding any query, suggestions or appreciations at: programmerworld1990@gmail.com
