IntroductionMATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox is a well known data analysis softwareenvironment and programming language. MATLAB software enables you toconfigure, control, and acquire data from the U2300A Series USB multifunctiondata acquisition devices. Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualizethat data using interactive tools and command-line functions for data analysistasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, and curvefitting. MATLAB is also used for generating waveforms and developing Test &Measurement applications.MATLAB supports the U2300A Series USB multifunction data acquisition devicesusing MATLAB, MATLAB’s Data Acquisition Toolbox, and a software adaptor. Themodels in the U2300A Series family that are supported are the U2351A, U2352A,U2353A, U2354A, U2355A, U2356A, and the U2331A.In order to use these devices with MATLAB, you need to install MATLAB andKeysight software components and applications, connect the USB multifunctionDAQ device, install the respective drivers, and verify the whole operation with theMATLAB example for U2300A Series hardware. These steps are described in thisdocument.Figure 1-1U2300A Series USB multifunction data acquisition devices withthe U2781A USB modular products chassisKeysight U2300A Series Quick Start Guide7

Install the Software Components and ApplicationsInstall the software components and applications in the following order asdescribed in this section of the getting started guide:– MATLAB and MATLAB’s Data Acquisition Toolbox– the U2300A Series hardware drivers– the Keysight Measurement Manager (this also installs the Keysight IO LibrariesSuite if not already installed)– the U2300A Series IVI–COM driver– the U2300A Series MATLAB DAQ adaptor[1]Minimum system requirementsPrior to any installation or configuration, please ensure that your PC meets thefollowing minimum system requirements.Processor1.6 GHz Pentium IV or higherWindows XP Professional or Home Edition (ServicePack 1 or later), or Windows Vista 32-Bit (Business, Ultimate, Enterprise HomeBasic, and Home Premium)Operating systemBrowserMicrosoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higherAvailable RAMHard-disk spaceVideo512 MB or higher recommended1 GBSuper VGA 800 600 (1024 768 recommended)Keysight IO Libraries Suite 15.1[2], Keysight T&M Toolkit Runtimeversion 2.1[3], Keysight T&M Toolkit Redistributable Package 2.1 patch[2],Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0[2]Prerequisites[1] Compatible with MATLAB versions up to R2007a and Windows editions up to Windows XP[2] Available on the Keysight Automation-Ready CD-ROM[3] Bundled with the Keysight Measurement Manager software application installer8Keysight U2300A Series Quick Start Guide

Follow the instructions below to install the software components:Installing MATLAB and MATLAB’s Data Acquisition Toolbox1 You can install the MATLAB software directly from the MATLAB installationDVD or from the MathWorks website. (A MathWorks account is required.) Ifyou do not already have MATLAB and MATLAB’s Data Acquisition Toolbox, youcan request a trial at: http://www.mathworks.com/keysight/daq/tryit.html.2 Follow the on-screen prompts to install MATLAB and this toolbox.Installing the U2300A Series hardware driversNOTEPlease ensure that there are no instruments connected to the PC when installingthe driver.1 Verify that your PC meets the minimum system requirements as stated in“Minimum system requirements” on page 8.2 Insert the Keysight USB Modular Products Product Reference CD-ROM. Theapplication automatically loads the “Keysight Modular Products InstallationMenu” as shown.3 Click Hard ware Driver to begin the installation. Click Next to proceed. Followthe instructions on the screen to proceed with the installation.Keysight U2300A Series Quick Start Guide9
