Using MATLAB as a DCOM Server
DCOM is a protocol that allows COM connections to be established over a network. If you are using a version of Windows that supports DCOM (Windows NT 4.0 at the time of this writing) and a controller that supports DCOM, you can use the controller to launch MATLAB on a remote machine. To do this, DCOM must be configured properly, and MATLAB must be installed on each machine that is used as a client or server. (Even though the client machine will not be running MATLAB in such a configuration, the client machine must have a MATLAB installation because certain MATLAB components are required to establish the remote connection.) Consult the DCOM documentation for how to configure DCOM for your environment.
