motion control with NI GPIB USB B and data aquisition with NI USB 6008 - using Matlab

[DrorS]

I want to write a programme in Matlab which will control a Newport ESP 300 motion controller via the NI GPIB USB B and simultaneously read data from a photodetector via the NI USB 6008 DAQ. Is this possible? If so, can someone suggest how I can get started?

thanks!

Hi,

You can use the Instrument Control Toolbox for MATLAB to do the GPIB control, and Data Acquisition Toolbox for MATLAB to control the USB device.   Google "Instrument Control Toolbox" and "Data Acquisition Toolbox" to learn more.

All the best,
