Overview
The Instrument Control Toolbox provides features for communicating with instruments, such as oscilloscopes and function generators, directly from MATLAB. Support is provided for GPIB, VISA, TCP/IP, and UDP communication protocols. You can generate data in MATLAB to send out to an instrument, or read data into MATLAB for analysis and visualization.

Key Features

Support for controlling and communicating with GPIB and VXI instruments
Support for networked instruments using the TCP/IP and UDP protocols
Functions for reading and writing binary and text (ASCII) data
Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for instrument communication and setup
Synchronous and asynchronous (blocking and non-blocking) read and write operations
Event handling for timeout, bytes read, data written, and others
Recording of data transferred to and from instruments
Utility functions to determine hardware availability
