"MATLAB software, available from
both Agilent and MathWorks, enables engineers to solve complex design, testing
and verification challenges," said Roy Lurie, vice president of
engineering for MATLAB products at MathWorks. "Agilent Command Expert's
new integration with MATLAB and our Instrument Control Toolbox enables standard
command sequences generated from Command Expert to be available immediately in
MATLAB, where they can be modified or executed. This integration allows MATLAB
users to get started faster using Agilent instruments and ultimately reduces
the time to complete the project."
Command Expert provides easier connection to and
control of instruments using Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI) or IVI-COM command sets in many application environments. Command Expert
1.1 adds:
- Integration with MATLAB that enables easy integration and execution
of instrument command sequences.
- Improved search results for commands, to more easily find the right
command, view the documentation and create sequences from the user
interface.
- New capability to import a sequence of commands from a SCPI text
file or IO monitor log file as well as combine commands to increase
performance.
- More programming examples and tutorials for fast start up in all
environments, and even more SCPI command sets.
IO Libraries Suite 16.2 is now able to
launch Command Expert when Command Expert is installed. This improved
integration simplifies the user's environment. This latest version of IO
Libraries Suite continues to add functionality due to changes in technology,
including support for IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) instrument addressing.
Agilent also continues to expand support for modular instrumentation based on
PXI and AXIe standards with this release of the IO Libraries Suite.
"We work hard to understand the
test user's environments," said Bob Witte, vice president, Agilent's
Technology Leadership Organization. "These software tools are designed to
simplify some of the complexities instrument users face in their work. Command
Expert allows them to accelerate their development efforts."
