Using Agilent’s U2300A, U2500A and U2600A Series USB Modular Data Acquisition with MATLAB

MATLAB® is a well known software environment and programming language with over 1,000,000 users. MATLAB enables you to configure, control, and acquire data from U2300A, U2500A and U2600A series data acquisition devices. Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize that data using interactive tools and command-line functions for data analysis tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, curve fitting, and nonlinear optimization. MATLAB is also used for generating waveforms and developing Test & Measurement applications.

MATLAB supports Agilent U2300A, U2500A and U2600A series data acquisition devices using MATLAB, the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox, and a software adaptor available for download here. A MATLAB help file is also available for download here with instructions for getting started using MATLAB with your U2300A, U2500A and U2600A series devices.
