Instrument Control Toolbox

The instrhelp Function

You can use the instrhelp function to:

• Display command line help for functions and properties
• List all the functions and properties associated with a specific instrument object

An instrument object need not exist for you to obtain this information. For example, to display all the functions and properties associated with a GPIB object, as well as the constructor M-file help

instrhelp gpib

To display help for the EOIMode property

instrhelp EOIMode

You can also display help for an existing instrument object. For example, to display help for the MemorySpace property associated with a VISA-GPIB-VXI object

v = visa('agilent','GPIB-VXI0::80::INSTR');
out = instrhelp(v,'MemorySpace');
