Arguments

`obj`	A device object.
`name`	The function to execute.
`arg1,arg2,...`	Arguments passed to `name`.
`out`	The function output.

Description

out = invoke(obj,'name',arg1,arg2,...) passes the arguments arg1,arg2,... to the function specified by name.

Tips

To list the driver-specific functions supported by obj, type

methods(obj)

To display help for a specific function, type

Examples

Create a device object for a Tektronix TDS 210 oscilloscope that is connected to a National Instruments GPIB board.

g = gpib('ni',0,2);
d = icdevice('tektronix_tds210',g);

Perform a self-calibration for the oscilloscope by invoking the calibrate function.

out = invoke(d,'calibrate')
out = 
    '0'

0 indicates that the self-calibration completed without any errors.
