Hardware Support from Instrument Control Toolbox

Control and acquire data from a wide variety of test and measurement equipment including oscilloscopes, signal analyzers and signal generators.

You can use MATLAB® with Instrument Control Toolbox™ as your single software environment to configure, control, acquire, and analyze data from instruments and other devices. Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize that data for tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, and curve fitting. You can also create graphical interfaces for collecting and analyzing your data and automating tests.

Instrument Control Toolbox supports communication with instruments and devices directly from MATLAB through commonly used communication protocols, instrument standards, and drivers. The toolbox provides a consistent interface to all devices independent of interface, hardware manufacturer, or instrument type.

Manufacturers, instruments and standards supported by Instrument Control Toolbox include:
