Communicating with Instruments or Applications Using TCP/IP
Communicate with Instruments or Remote Applications Using TCP/IP from MATLAB
MATLAB supports instrument control via TCP/IP communication through Instrument Control Toolbox. The toolbox enables MATLAB to control, configure, and transfer data with instrumentation using TCP/IP. Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize the data for tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, and curve fitting. You can also create graphical interfaces for collecting and analyzing your data and automating tests.
Instruments that conform to the LXI standard are delivered with IVI drivers and are automatically supported by MATLAB through Instrument Control Toolbox.
You can also use MATLAB to communicate with remote applications not developed in MATLAB using TCP/IP client and server capabilities.
Communicate over TCP/IP Using Simulink
Simulink can communicate with instruments and remote applications using the Simulink blocks provided by Instrument Control Toolbox. These blocks enable you to query an instrument using TCP/IP to incorporate live data into your model and to send live data from your Simulink model to an instrument or another application using TCP/IP.
