I need to be able to export dataset (.ds) files with AEL. These files would then be accessed by another program (MATLAB, for now) for other uses. How can I accomplish this ?
One is to use a custom AEL expression called "writepara". If you set a MeasEqn in the Schematic window (or using AEL in a design) and then run a simulation using AEL at the end of the simulation you will automatically get a text file. This example is explained and can be downloaded from here:
The other thing is to use a utility called "dsdump" to convert the dataset file to a raw text file and then modify the text file to be usable by other programs (like Matlab). This has been explained here.
There are 2 possible things you can do.

I think the first option is better for you.
