Module Description
The MatlabCommander module is used for running Matlab functions from within Slicer.
It may be necessary to manually add an exception to the firewall to allow Slicer to communicate with the Matlab server on port 4100.
Use Cases
The main use of this module is allowing any Slicer module to run Matlab commands, but the module can be also used for manual testing of the Matlab connection or running simple commands and observe the results without switching to Matlab.

Information for Developers
The module requires the following environment variables (set by Matlab Module Generator module, as it is a loadable module with access to all configuration settings):
- SLICER_MATLAB_EXECUTABLE_PATH: path to Matlab.exe
- SLICER_MATLAB_COMMAND_SERVER_SCRIPT_PATH: path to commandserver.m
The module communicates with Matlab using OpenIGTLink. The commandserver script implements an OpenIGTLink server, which accepts STRING commands (requests should be sent to the CMD or CMD_someuid device and response will be sent from a device named ACK or ACK_someuid)
