Thanks for any answare.

Hi,

I would also like to control a DC2100 from Matlab, but I have some issues. Did you get it to work in the end?

In my case, I think the problem is that Matlab does not see the NI-VISA interface.

instrhwinfo('visa')
ans = 
   HardwareInfo with properties:
      InstalledAdaptors: {1x0 cell}
      JarFileVersion: 'Version 3.7'

I've used the "get hardware support package" from Matlab in order to help. But at some point during the installation I get an unidentified error (see attached file). NI-VISA and NI-IVI (ICP) are installed. I checked. All that I need right now is to install only the couple of files that tell Matlab where to find VISA and how to use it.

Is there a way to do it without using the "get hardware support package" from Matlab? Maybe do it manually...?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Here is a little update for who it might concern... one day... maybe... ;) There might be a problem of version compatibility. I'm running a 32 bits version of Labview (thus a 32 bits version of NI-VISA), on a 64 bits version of Windows 7, and therefore a 64 bits version of Matlab (2015a). This configuration causes the problem I described above. I tried to update the configuration on a "complete" 32 bits computer (32 bits for Labview, windows 7, and Matlab), and Matlab found the NI-VISA adaptor right away. I did not have time yet to try to write a script down. But that's still one step forward. ;)
