Instrument Control Toolbox

The Instrument Control Session

The instrument control session consists of all the steps you are likely to take when communicating with your instrument. These steps are described in the following sections.

Creating an Instrument Object	Create a MATLAB object that represents the instrument.
Connecting to the Instrument	Establish a connection between the object and the instrument.
Configuring and Returning Properties	Define the instrument object behavior by assigning values to properties.
Writing and Reading Data	Write data to the instrument and read data from the instrument.
Disconnecting and Cleaning Up	Disconnect the object from the instrument, and remove the object from memory and from the workspace.

The instrument control session is used in many of the documentation examples included in this guide.
