Generic Drivers: Overview
Generic drivers allow the Instrument Control Toolbox software
to communicate with devices or software that do not use industry-standard
drivers or protocols.
Typical cases, but not the only possibilities, are instruments
that offer access through a COM interface (where the instrument can
be accessed as an ActiveX® object from the MATLAB workspace),
that use proprietary libraries, or that use custom MEX-files.
Because the generic nature of this feature does not lend itself
to detailed discussion of specific instructions that work in all cases,
the following sections of this chapter use an example to illustrate
how to create and use a MATLAB generic instrument driver:
