File Exchange Pick of the Week

January 11th, 2008

In an earlier post, I covered how to collect data from a data acquisition board. [click here] This post will do something similar for an oscilloscope. This time instead of using the Data Acquisition Toolbox we will be using the Instrument Control Toolbox.

If you are connecting to hardware for capturing data and then bringing that data into MATLAB later for post test analysis, you should really consider bringing the data into MATLAB directly so you can do your analysis as the test is running.

   In the section Instrument drivers there is a limitted number of them available. If I have a device which is not listed would it be still possible to use it (after installation of the corresponding driver)?
   Another question, can I also send commands to the isntrument, i.e. talk to it? Thx

   You can write your own drivers, there is an adapter kit available. You can send commands to the instrument, that is a major feature of the product.
