Instrument Control Toolbox

The instrhelp Function

You can use the instrhelp function to

• Display command line help for functions and properties
• List all the functions and properties associated with a specific instrument object

An instrument object need not exist for you to obtain this information. For example, to display all the functions and properties associated with a GPIB object, as well as the constructor M-file help:

• instrhelp gpib
  

To display help for the EOIMode property:

• instrhelp EOIMode
  

You can also display help for an existing instrument object. For example, to display help for the MemorySpace property associated with a VISA-GPIB-VXI object:

• v = visa('agilent','GPIB-VXI0::80::INSTR');
  out = instrhelp(v,'MemorySpace');
  

Alternatively, you can display help via the Workspace browser by right-clicking an instrument object, and selecting Explore -> Instrument Help from the context menu.
