Configure the IVI Driver
The Instrument Control Toolbox provides a graphical Test & Measurement Tool that
enables you to interact with instrument drivers and instruments without writing
MATLAB code. The Test & Measurement Tool lets you configure IVI driver
properties in MATLAB and store them in the IVI configuration store.
Note:
Learn more about the IVI configuration store in Chapter 11 – Advanced
Topics.
1 At the MATLAB command line, type tmtool to launch the Test &
Measurement Tool GUI. Or from the MATLAB Main Menu, select Instrument
Control Toolbox and click Test & Measurement Tool. The Test & Measurement
Tool GUI opens.
2 In the tree at left, click the IVI node under the Instrument Drivers node.
3 Select the Hardware Assets tab. In the Hardware Assets dialog, select Add and
enter the following:
•
myDMM
in the Name field
•
This is my Agilent 34401 Digital Multimeter
in the Description field (optional)
•
GPIB0::23
in the IO Resource name field
4 Select the Software Modules tab. The installed IVI drivers appear.
Note:
If you have not installed the IVI driver, it will not appear in this list. You must
close MATLAB, install the driver, and restart MATLAB for the driver to appear.
5 Select Agilent34401 from the drop-down list. The Software Modules dialog lists
the module name, supported instrument models, and description.
