Instrument Control Toolbox

M-File Functions

To perform any task within your instrument control application, you must call M-file functions from the MATLAB environment. Among other things, these functions allow you to

• Create instrument objects, which provide a gateway to your instrument's capabilities and allow you to control the behavior of your application
• Connect the object to the instrument
• Configure property values
• Write data to the instrument, and read data from the instrument
• Evaluate your application status and examine your hardware resources

For a listing of all Instrument Control Toolbox functions, refer to Function Reference. You can also display all the toolbox functions by typing

• help instrument
