Course Highlights
This 1-day course covers real-time interfaces of MATLAB for data acquisition and instrument control, including:
- Acquiring measured data from a data acquisition device
- Communicating with an external instrument via its GPIB
- Using the Data Acquisition Toolbox to perform computations and analyses of acquired data
- Using synchronized analog I/O and digital I/O
- Using the Instrument Control Toolbox to write commands to the instrument and read waveform data from the instrument
Prerequisites
"Comprehensive MATLAB" or the equivalent and an understanding of data acquisition hardware and instrument control. "Building Graphical User Interfaces with MATLAB" is highly recommended.
