The data could be processed in MATLAB using functions from Toolboxes such \nas [Signal Processing Toolbox](https://www.mathworks.com/products/signal.html). \n\nThe driver has been created using Instrument Control Toolbox v3.6. \n\nThis Instrument Driver package includes the following: \n\n* The MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver \n* Example scripts that demonstrate how to call various functions in order to capture data in various modes, as well as using the signal generator. \n* The driver can be used with the Test and Measurement Tool to carry out the following:\n\n  * Acquire data in Block mode \n  * Acquire data in Rapid Block mode \n  * Use the Built-in Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (model-dependent)\n\n## Supported Models\n\nThe driver will work with the following PicoScope models:\n\n* PicoScope 6402 \u0026 6402A/B/C/D \n* PicoScope 6403 \u0026 6403A/B/C/D \n* PicoScope 6404 \u0026 6404A/B/C/D \n* PicoScope 6407\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n* [MATLAB](https://uk.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html) for Microsoft Windows (32- or 64-bit) or Linux operating systems (64-bit).\n* [Instrument Control Toolbox](http://www.mathworks.co.uk/products/instrument/)\n* The [PicoScope Support Toolbox](http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/53681-picoscope-support-toolbox)\n* The [PicoSDK C Wrapper Binaries](https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-wrappers-binaries)\n\n**Notes:**\n\n* MATLAB 2015b is recommended for 32-bit versions of MATLAB on Microsoft Windows operating systems.\n\n### Installing the Instrument Driver files\n\nWe recommend using the [Add-Ons Explorer](https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/get-add-ons.html) in MATLAB in order to install these files and obtain updates.\n\nIf your version of MATLAB does not have the Add-Ons Explorer, download the zip file from the [MATLAB Central File Exchange page](https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48311-picoscope-6000-series-matlab-generic-instrument-driver)\n and add the root and sub-folders to the MATLAB path.\n\n### Installing drivers\n\nDrivers are available for the following platforms. Refer to the subsections below for further information.\n\n#### Windows\n\n* Download the PicoSDK (32-bit or 64-bit) driver package installer from our [Downloads page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads).\n\n#### Linux\n\n* Follow the instructions from our [Linux Software \u0026 Drivers for Oscilloscopes and Data Loggers page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux) to install the required `libps6000` and `libpswrappers` driver packages.\n\n### Programmer's Guides\n\nYou can download the [Programmer's Guide](https://www.picotech.com/download/manuals/picoscope-6000-series-programmers-guide.pdf) providing a description of the API functions for the ps6000 shared library used by this Instrument Driver.\n\n## Further information\n\nTo view Pico Technology's Hardware Support page, please visit:\n\nhttp://www.mathworks.co.uk/hardware-support/picoscope.html\n\n## Obtaining support\n\nPlease visit our [Support page](https://www.picotech.com/tech-support) to contact us directly or visit our [Test and Measurement Forum](https://www.picotech.com/support/forum71.html) to post questions.\n\nIssues can be reported via the [Issues tab](https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ps6000-matlab-instrument-driver/issues).\n\nPlease leave a comment and rating for this submission on our [MATLAB Central File Exchange page](https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48311-picoscope-6000-series-matlab-generic-instrument-driver).\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions to examples are welcome.
