Before proceeding with MATLAB, ensure your LeCroy instrument is configured for remote control:
- On your LeCroy instrument, select Utilities > Utilities Setup, and choose the Remote tab.
- Ensure that under Control From, the TCP/IP button is selected. Your instrument’s IP address is listed in the TCP/IP panel of the Remote tab.
You can verify connectivity to your instrument by issuing the following command from MATLAB:
!ping <instrument-IP>
where <instrument-IP> is the IP address of your instrument.
Once you've confirmed the network setup, please ensure you have the MATLAB Instrument Driver, which consists of custom drivers specifically designed for MATLAB. If not, you can download it from this FileExchange portal: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/12862-lecroy-oscilloscopes-matlab-instrument-driver.
There’s another one from Teledyne that you may also want to try: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/84144-instrument-driver-for-teledyne-lecroy-scopes-in-matlab.
Once you've confirmed that, you can try running a simple example found here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22627-lecroy-oscilloscopes-matlab-example.
