I have written a short program and set up my board and device so that
they are communicating. However, I am unsure how I can transfer that
information to my computer for evaluation and display. I'd prefer to
use MATLAB if anyone has done this before.

List of problems:
1. data being recorded from C328 camera doesn't seem long enough.
2. when output of camera is sent to display window and cut/paste
transferred to MATLAB the picture is nothing like what I expect.

Code attached:
#define CINBUFSIZE 511
#define COUTBUFSIZE 511

const long baud_rate = 14400L;

void main()
{
int moveon;
auto int transmitted;
auto int received;
auto int i;
auto int cmd[3];
auto int rec[6];
auto int Pic[5120];
char null;

brdInit(); //initialize board for this demo

serCopen(baud_rate);
serCwrFlush();
serCrdFlush();

printf("Starting...\n");
cmd[0] = 0x0DAA;
cmd[1] = 0x0000;
cmd[2] = 0x0000;

moveon=1;
while(moveon){
// sends SYNC command
for (i = 0; i < 1; i++)
{serCwrite(cmd,sizeof(cmd));}
// Waits for ACK command
for (i=0;i<6;i++)
{rec[i] = serCgetc();}
if(rec[0]==0xAA && rec[1]==0xE && rec[2]==0xD){moveon=0;printf
("\nConnecting...\n");} //ACK verified
printf("waiting...\n");
}

// checks for SYNC command
for (i=0;i<6;i++)
{rec[i] = serCgetc();}
