Instrument Control Toolbox

Examining Your Hardware Resources

You can examine the hardware-related resources visible to the toolbox with the instrhwinfo function. The returned information includes the installed adaptors and the syntax for creating instrument objects. For instruments associated with the VISA standard, instrhwinfo also returns address information such as the GPIB board index, the VXI logical address, the VXI chassis, and so on.

The specific information returned by instrhwinfo depends on the supplied arguments, and is divided into these four categories:

• General toolbox information
• Interface information
• Adaptor information
• Instrument object information
