Ametek Programmable Power Instruments and MATLAB

Ametek^® Programmable Power (including VTI Instruments) manufactures programmable AC and DC power supplies, electronic loads and other test equipment. You can use MATLAB together with Instrument Control Toolbox as your single software environment to configure, control, acquire, and analyze data from Ametek Programmable Power instruments.

Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize that data for tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, and curve fitting. You can also create graphical interfaces for collecting and analyzing your data and automating tests.

Ametek Programmable Power Instrument Drivers

Instrument drivers let you communicate with an instrument using higher-level commands. You can communicate with any instrument that supports the instrument standards IVI, LXI, or VXIplug&play.  See the following resources to find IVI drivers for Ametek Programmable Power instruments.

• IVI Foundation Driver Registry
• Ametek Programmable Power website

Communication Protocols

If an instrument driver is not available, you may be able to communicate directly with Ametek Programmable Power instruments using SCPI commands over these communication protocols if they are supported by the instrument.

• GPIB
• Serial
• TCP/IP
• UDP
• VISA
