![]() After doing so click on ‘Disconnect’:Ĩ. Using Tabor Arbitrary mode we have control over the output signal frequency as follows: For *.csv ending files, use the corresponding function.Ħ. Go to ‘Properties’ folder, under ‘Output group object properties’, set ‘OutputMode’ to ‘WX218xOutputModeArbitrary’ as shown below:ħ. Go to ‘Functions’ folder, under ‘Output group object functions’ execute the ‘Enabled’ function as shown below. Make sure the waveform file is with *.wav ending. Make sure to type the full path of the waveform file you wish to download. Make sure that each time you execute a function, you don’t get any errors as shown below:ģ. Go to the ‘Properties’ folder, under ‘Arbitrary group object properties’, set the ‘SampleRate’ to 2Gs/s as shown below:Ĥ. Under ‘Arbitrarywaveform group object properties’, set the ‘TraceMode’ to ‘WX218xTraceModeDuplicate’ as shown below:ĥ. Go to ‘functions’ folder, under ‘Arbitrarywaveform group object functions’ execute the ‘LoadArbWfmFromFile’ function as shown below. Under ‘Utility group object functions’, execute the ‘Reset’ function as follows. Session Log – Allows you to save the last session as MATLAB script.Ģ. After you are successfully connected, go to the ‘Functions’ folder.Properties – Allows you to set parameters and modes regarding the device under control.Functions - Allows you to communicate with the device using its driver functions.On the Device Object dialog box you will see ‘Functions’, ‘Properties’ and ‘Session Log’. After doing so, connect to the Tabor instrument as shown below. Load an arbitrary waveform file using the IVI driver functionsġ. First, you will have to create a Device Object using the ‘WX218x_IVI_COM.mdd’ file as shown in the previous tutorial.To ensure you successfully established all the necessary settings for remote control over the Tabor instrument using LAN/USB/GPIB, please go over the connectivity tutorials on the Tabor’s website. For more information you can visit the Mathworks website.įor this tutorial, we will use MATLAB version R2014a 32bit and a USB interface. Please note that the Instrument Control Toolbox is an additional application that needs to be added. In order to control instruments using MATLAB, the instrument control toolbox is required. If you haven’t been acquainted with controlling Tabor AWGs using MATLAB’s Instrument Control Toolbox, please refer to Tabor’s website for the previous tutorials in the series ““How to Control Tabor AWGs with MATLAB”: In this tutorial, we will give an example on how to load an arbitrary waveform file to Tabor AWG using the IVI driver.
