# Instrument Addon Custom Device

The **Instrument Addon Custom Device** allows users to generically define instrument commands.

The add-on supports the following base protocols:
- NI-VISA (GPIB, RS232, RS485, and RS422)
- TCP
- UDP
- AK TCP
- AK RS232

You should set the communication structure to *command-response*. The instrument does not initiate communications. For best results, you should set your communication rate lower than 100 Hertz. Higher communication rates are not guaranteed to be as effective.

**Note:** The add-on supports decimation for a fast VeriStand primary control loop.
