Data Acquisition Toolbox

Supported Hardware – Keysight

Note: Beginning with R2016a, MATLAB is no longer available on 32-bit systems. Because the existing adapters for Keysight data acquisition hardware are 32-bit only, this hardware is currently only supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox R2015b and earlier. For a list of supported data acquisition hardware, see Hardware Support from Data Acquisition Toolbox.

Keysight USB Data Acquisition Devices

MATLAB supports Keysight’s (formerly Agilent's) USB data acquisition hardware using the Data Acquisition Toolbox and an adaptor available directly from Keysight. Examples of these USB devices include the U2331A, U2355A, U2356A, U2351A, U2352A, U2353A, and U2354A. Please visit Agilent's resource page for more information on their support for MATLAB and to download the adaptor and help file.

Note: You must use the Legacy interface and the 32-bit version of Data Acquisition Toolbox and MATLAB to use Agilent USB data acquisition devices. The 32-bit versions of Data Acquisition Toolbox and MATLAB can be installed on a 64-bit Windows OS.

Agilent and Keysight Instruments Using Instrument Standard Protocols

Note: Today, most products from Agilent and Keysight use instrument standard protocols and can be used with Instrument Control Toolbox. Instrument Control Toolbox enables you to communicate directly with the instrument using one or more instrument communication protocols including GPIBVISA, TCP/IP, UDP, and serial. Alternatively, you can communicate with the instrument if the instrument supports an instrument standard such as IVI, LXI, or VXIplug&play.
