If I get Visa 3.0,will that be sufficient to communicate with my
device via matlab or will I need
further instrument drivers?

Hello,

It is not very clear what you want to do. For what I understand you
have an instrument that you are connecting to a gpib, or serial or tcp
port in your computer. Matlab should be able to do the link between
VISA and the instrument. Are you using NI-VISA? Are you using
LabVIEW or any other software?
If you are using one of our GPIB cards or serial cards, then you would
also need the driver for that hardware.
Hope this answers your question. If it doesn’t please provide more
description like if you would like to call a Matlab script through
LabVIEW or something like that.

Thank you,

Ricardo S.

Thank you for the reply.I am trying to communicate
with a device via a USB port.I have NI-VISA 3.0 and
was hoping to create a visa object in matlab instrument control
toolbox to communicate with it.
can this be done with labview as well?I have labview ,but not much
experience with it.
