# PicoScope 6000 Series - MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver
This MATLAB� Generic Instrument Driver (Beta Release) allows you to acquire data from the PicoScope� 6000 Series Digital Oscilloscopes and control in-built
signal generator functionality. The data could be processed in MATLAB using functions from Toolboxes such
as [Signal Processing Toolbox](https://www.mathworks.com/products/signal.html).
The driver has been created using Instrument Control Toolbox v3.6.
This Instrument Driver package includes the following:
* The MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver
* Example scripts that demonstrate how to call various functions in order to capture data in various modes, as well as using the signal generator.
* The driver can be used with the Test and Measurement Tool to carry out the following:
* Acquire data in Block mode
* Acquire data in Rapid Block mode
* Use the Built-in Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (model-dependent)
## Supported Models
The driver will work with the following PicoScope models:
* PicoScope 6402 & 6402A/B/C/D
* PicoScope 6403 & 6403A/B/C/D
* PicoScope 6404 & 6404A/B/C/D
* PicoScope 6407
## Getting started
### Prerequisites
* [MATLAB](https://uk.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html) for Microsoft Windows (32- or 64-bit) or Linux operating systems (64-bit).
* [Instrument Control Toolbox](http://www.mathworks.co.uk/products/instrument/)
* The [PicoScope Support Toolbox](http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/53681-picoscope-support-toolbox)
* The [PicoSDK C Wrapper Binaries](https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-wrappers-binaries)
**Notes:**
* MATLAB 2015b is recommended for 32-bit versions of MATLAB on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
### Installing the Instrument Driver files
We 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.
If 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)
and add the root and sub-folders to the MATLAB path.
### Installing drivers
Drivers are available for the following platforms. Refer to the subsections below for further information.
#### Windows
* Download the PicoSDK (32-bit or 64-bit) driver package installer from our [Downloads page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads).
#### Linux
* Follow the instructions from our [Linux Software & Drivers for Oscilloscopes and Data Loggers page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux) to install the required `libps6000` and `libpswrappers` driver packages.
### Programmer's Guides
You 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.
