Serial Port Overview
This section provides an overview of the serial port. Topics include:
For many serial port applications, you can communicate with your instrument without detailed knowledge of how the serial port works. Communication is established through a serial port object, which you create in the MATLAB workspace.
If your application is straightforward, or if you are already familiar with the topics mentioned above, you may want to begin with Creating a Serial Port Object. If you want a high-level description of all the steps you are likely to take when communicating with your instrument, refer to Chapter 2, The Instrument Control Session.
