can hardware support packages be installed to the matlab runtime?

I've written an app that uses the ADALM1000 hardware support package and VISA support to run a scope. I would like to run it on a Windows computer that has the MATLAB 2016a runtime installed.

Typically the hardware support packages for Instrument Control Toolbox only install the vendor driver on your computer. I suspect in your case it is VISA.

For your compiled application to work, manually install VISA manually on the computer you want your application generated using the MATLAB Compiler. You do not need to install MATLAB or the support package on the machine you intend to deploy your application to. Of course, you will need to also install the MATLAB runtime and your compiled application.

If you have trouble, please contact technical support.

Hi Vinod, Yes, the scope uses VISA and I also use an ADALM1000 which has its own hardware support package. Is it possible to install this package from within the application?

I will need the ADALM1000 support as well as VISA.

Thank you for the help.

As of R2016a, you cannot use the support package mechanism from within your own compiled application. You can however package the EXE with your application and use the SYSTEM command to execute the installer.
