What Is Instrument Control Toolbox?

Instrument Control Toolbox™ lets you connect MATLAB® directly to instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators, signal analyzers, power supplies, and analytical instruments.

The toolbox connects to your instruments via instrument drivers such as IVI and VXIplug&play or via text-based SCPI commands over commonly used communication protocols such as VISA, GPIB, TCP/IP, and UDP. The toolbox includes the Instrument Explorer and VISA Explorer apps, which let you acquire data from test equipment without writing code.
With Instrument Control Toolbox, you can generate data in MATLAB to send out to an instrument or read data into MATLAB for analysis and visualization. You can automate tests, verify hardware designs, and build test systems based on LXI, PXI, and AXIe standards. The toolbox provides built-in support for TCP/IP, UDP, I2C, SPI, and Bluetooth® serial protocols for remote communication with other computers and printed circuit boards (PCBs) from MATLAB.
The toolbox enables many workflows common in wireless communications. For example, you can use an RF signal generator to output 5G, LTE, Bluetooth, and other signals designed in MATLAB. You can acquire data over the air from RF signal and spectrum analyzers and analyze the data in MATLAB. Using test equipment, you can also output WLAN signals over the air and acquire IQ data. You can test radar systems, and test satellite components by acquiring data from RF signal analyzers.
You can also use Instrument Control Toolbox together with App Designer to build custom applications (UIs) that automate your design verification and production test procedures and with MATLAB Compiler™ to deploy your test application to multiple test stations.
