Instrument Control Toolbox

Saving and Loading the Session

During an instrument control session, you may want to save your work to one or more disk files in order to document or debug your application, post-process data, and so on. The components of an instrument control session that you can save to disk are divided into two separate parts:

• Instrument objects and their associated property values
• Information associated with instrument communication including:
• The number of values written to the instrument, the number of values read from the instrument, and the data type of the values
• Data written to the instrument, and data read from the instrument
• Event information

You can save specific components of your session to an M-file using the obj2mfile function, to a MAT-file using the save command, or to a text file using the record function.
