Were you able to get this working? I am interested in the same thing and haven't seen much information on the topic.

You use the vendor driver and open the device as a com port using serial(). No special MATLAB driver.

I did not investigate to see if it would be possible to wrap it with visa.

Related to this, I bought a USB relay that is based off the CP2102, CP201x silicon labs chip, the DSD TECH SH-UR01A.

Windows10 automatically installed the correct driver, but I had to change the default termination to get matlab to talk to the device properly:

sp=serialport('COM4',9600)
configureTerminator(sp,'LF','CR/LF')
writeline(sp,'AT')
readline(sp)
