Generic Instrument Drivers

Communicate with instruments by creating a generic driver

Generic drivers allow the Instrument Control Toolbox™ to communicate with devices or software that do not use industry-standard drivers or protocols. You create a generic driver using the Instrument Driver Editor. See Writing a Generic Driver.
