MATLAB m-files
Sun Systems has developed MATLAB m-files for IEEE488/GPIB communication with all of Sun's environmental chambers, process controllers and temperature controllers. These m-files were developed using the GUIDE (GUI Development Environment) available in MATLAB 6.5 to facilitate creation of m-file applications with a graphical interface. The sample m-files can be used alone as a GPIB communication tool, for plotting of temperature data or they can be used as a guide in developing user specific m-files.
To use these matlab m-files with your Sun chamber/controller you must have the instrument control toolbox installed (available from Mathworks) as well as MATLAB and GPIB interface hardware.
1. Download the zipped folder appropriate for your controller type
2. Unzip and store the folder into the MATLAB folder of your choice
3. Add the downloaded folder to the MATLAB path
4. At the MATLAB prompt, type the chamber/controller type (i.e EC1X, PC100, etc...)
