What folder(s) does the MATLAB2013b OPC (Industrial Communications) Toolbox install info on Windows ?

What folder(s) does the MATLAB2013b OPS (Industrial Communications) Toolbox install info on Windows ?

Do you mean where this toolbox is installed by default? Or where is stores preferences?

What is prompting this question? Why are you using a release from 10 years ago?

Hi Eric, 

I understand that you want to know where does MATLAB 2013b version puts the files for the OPC Toolbox. MATLAB OPC Toolbox is used for interfacing with OPC servers for reading, writing, and logging data from/to OPC servers, typically installs its files in a directory within the MATLAB installation directory. For MATLAB R2013b on a Windows system, the default installation path for MATLAB is usually: 

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\  

 Within this directory, the OPC Toolbox files would be in a subdirectory along these lines: 

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\toolbox\opc\  

This folder would contain all the functions, scripts, and resources related to the OPC Toolbox. It is important to note that the actual path may vary if a custom installation directory was chosen during the installation process. 

To find the exact location of the OPC Toolbox on your system, you can use the MATLAB command “which”. For example, to find the location of a specific OPC Toolbox function, you can type the following command in the MATLAB Command Window: 

which opcda  

This command will return the path to the “opcda” function, which is part of the OPC Toolbox. You can replace “opcda” with any other OPC Toolbox function you are interested in. If the OPC Toolbox is installed, MATLAB will return the path to the function file; otherwise, it will indicate that the function does not exist in the current MATLAB search path.

Please refer to the following documentation link-

Hope it helps! 

Best Regards,
