1 Preface
This application note presents methods for integrating Rohde & Schwarz test and
measurement (T&M) instruments into The MathWorks MATLAB
®
applications. This
allows you to remote-control Rohde & Schwarz instruments for T&M applications from
MATLAB
®
.
For demonstration purposes the Rohde & Schwarz VXIplug&play spectrum analyzer
instrument driver and the VXIplug&play instrument driver for Rohde & Schwarz vector
signal generators are used in this application note. The presented procedure is
applicable to most Rohde & Schwarz VXIplug&play instrument drivers.
To illustrate the usage of instrument drivers in MATLAB
®
two approaches are outlined.
The first part of this application note describes the MATLAB
®
Instrument Control
Toolbox as a high-level approach with tool support. Besides this, a low-level approach
using the MATLAB
®
external interface calllib is explained in the second part of this
application note.
