Connect to unsupported vendor's GPIB controller

Hi All,
I've been using the instrument control toolbox for a bit now to control an Agilent piece of equipment, and have easily connected to it by creating a VISA object for the GPIB controller on the instrument, i.e.
instrument = visa('agilent', 'GPIB0::17::INSTR');
I'd now like to control another instrument, made by Stanford Research, that has a GPIB interface, but is not a supported vendor. Is this possible via the instrument control toolbox? If the interface is the same, how does the vendor need to be 'supported'? Is there a way to create a GPIB object for an arbitrary device?
Thank you for any help

I think I have an idea.
While the instrument (SR830) does not have a specific driver for matlab, it does have a labview driver which seems to identify it as a VISA object (requiring NI-VISA), so perhaps if I can install that driver I can recognize it as a VISA object through either an NI or Agilent VISA interface. I will try installing the labview driver and NI-VISA, and then see if I can create the object via visa('ni', ...)
Any advice on making this work?
