This chapter describes specific issues related to controlling instruments that use the GPIB interface.
| GPIB Overview | Basic features of the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). |
| Creating a GPIB Object | The GPIB object establishes a connection between MATLAB and the instrument via its GPIB interface. |
| Configuring the GPIB Address | The GPIB address consists of the board index of the GPIB controller, and the primary address and (optionally) the secondary address of the instrument. |
| Writing and Reading Data | Interface-specific issues related to writing and reading data with a GPIB object. |
| Events and Callbacks | Enhance your instrument control application using events and callbacks. |
| Triggers | Send the GET (Group Execute Trigger) GPIB command to the instrument. This command instructs all addressed Listeners to perform a specified action. |
| Serial Polls | Execute a serial poll where the Controller asks (polls) each addressed Listener to send back a status byte that indicates whether it has asserted the SRQ line and needs servicing. |
