Install Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for IVI and VXIplug&play Drivers
To use the ividev
interface to connect to your instruments, you must install the Instrument Control Toolbox™ Support Package for
IVI® and VXIplug&play Drivers.
Installing the support package provides you with the MATLAB® drivers necessary for connecting to your instrument in MATLAB.
Requirements
The Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for IVI and VXIplug&play Drivers is supported only on Windows® machines.
First, install the following software.
Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for National Instruments™ VISA and ICP Interfaces
Required IVI drivers for your instrument
Then, you can download and install the Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for IVI and VXIplug&play Drivers from the MATLAB Add-On Explorer.
Verify IVI Drivers
The instrument manufacturer usually provides the specific IVI driver. Required VISA software and IVI shared components can also come with the driver.
You can use ividriverlist to find information about installed IVI drivers.

The VendorDriver and MATLABDriver columns
identify each installed driver. You must use MATLABDriver as an input
to create an ividev object. If MATLABDriver is empty
for a driver, you can not create an ividev object for that driver. The
IVIClass and SupportedModels columns provide
additional information about the driver.
