USB SCPI Control with Keysight 3446x Multimeters
« on: April 27, 2021, 07:34:04 pm »
I'm trying to use my copy of Matlab (2019, 64 bit) to control a Keysight 34465A multimeter through USB SCPI. However, I am stuck as the only IVI driver for the 3446x which I've managed to find (from https://www.keysight.com/my/en/lib/software-detail/driver/3446x-digital-multimeters-ivi-and-matlab-instrument-drivers-2352538.html) say they only support the 32-bit version of Matlab.

I've tried looking for alternate means of connecting, such as 64 bit drivers, but have had no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this? My programming ability is fairly low, so rolling my own driver is above my level.  :-[

Does the VISA integration through the instrument control toolbox work with your version of Matlab? I haven't done instrument control with Matlab, but I think it should allow you to send SCPI commands similar to this example. Information on the SCPI commands should be in the 34465A documentation.
