connect instruments with usb cable

I need to connect a function generator (Agilent 33522-A) with matlab using a usb cable, but I don't know how. There exist any command that can I use? Just like for connection with gpib??

You will be needing the Instrument Control Toolbox.

Hello, thanks for help! But I see at the Instrument Control Toolbox, and they don't said any thing about connection with USB, just with serial or GPIB and I need to USB. Just the commands to create an object, like the Example:

        g1 = gpib('ni', 0, 1, 'Tag', 'Oscilloscope');
        g2 = gpib('ni', 0, 2, 'Tag', 'FunctionGenerator');
        out1 = instrfind('Type', 'gpib')
        out2 = instrfind('Tag', 'Oscilloscope')
        out3 = instrfind({'Type', 'Tag'}, {'gpib', 'FunctionGenerator'})

but for USB cable, do you know how can I do this?

You still just use gpib() commands.
