Instrument Object Information

To display information about a specific instrument object, you supply the object as an argument to instrhwinfo. For example, to display information for the GPIB object created in the preceding section:

• ghwinfo = instrhwinfo(g)
  ghwinfo = 
  
               AdaptorDllName: [1x56 char]
            AdaptorDllVersion: 'Version 1.2 (R13)'
                  AdaptorName: 'NI'
                VendorDllName: 'gpib-32.dll'
      VendorDriverDescription: 'NI-488'
  

To display information for the VISA-VXI object created in the preceding section:

• vvhwinfo = instrhwinfo(vv)
  vvhwinfo = 
  
               AdaptorDllName: [1x61 char]
            AdaptorDllVersion: 'Version 1.2 (R13)'
                  AdaptorName: 'AGILENT'
                VendorDllName: 'hpvisa32.dll'
      VendorDriverDescription: 'Agilent Technologies VISA Driver'
          VendorDriverVersion: 1.1000
  

Alternatively, you can return hardware information via the Workspace browser by right-clicking an instrument object, and selecting Explore -> Display Hardware Info from the context menu.
