I have VISA3.0,do i need any further instrument drivers to communicate with my device?

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.
