I would like to remotely trigger capture start and stop in Vicon using MATLAB on an external laptop, so that I can synchronise a code I have that records Radar data with motion capture data from Vicon. Many sources online, including Vicon, suggest that that this can be done by using UDP packages. These packages need to be sent via a script which I create and then they sent via a network cable to the Vicon System PC from the Matlab PC. Vicon support has provided me this link (https://docs.vicon.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=133824766) which gives a C++ example on how to do this (this is from the Shogun software but the details here are the most up to date and will work with Nexus). Any ideas on how to do this in a MATLAB script?
Any help is much appreciated.

I did this many years ago, on a much older Vicon system using a UDP write from MATLAB:
"Write data to UDP socket - MATLAB write" https://www.mathworks.com/help/instrument/udpport.write.html
There is also a "UDP send" block for Simulink that will achieve similar.
Thank you all for the replies. Qamar Ul Islam thank you for the link, but I have seen it in the past, and it does not say anything regarding start/stop in the answers of the post.Gaushik M.R thank you as well, I have seen this also, but the issue of this link is that the person giving out a MATLAB script said he did not manage to send 'stop' command and also there is another person giving a Python script and not MATLAB. Andrew Bradley Thank you for this, will read through Mathworks documentation in case I find something that I missed.
