My instrument control is just for communicating with external (standalone) instruments over different interfaces. There's no direct driver support for DAQ devices. Some time ago I looked at comedi library, but there's no support for my NI-5421 DAC. Unfortunately, I had to build a standalone exe, link it to NI's fgen and made a system call from octave. Terrible workaround, but it should be GPL save. :) > 1.- Integrate your code to the current instrument-control package > (Andrius and Stefan, are you ok with this?) > a.

Just copy the content from tcp_tb/ or usbtmc_tb/ to OF instrument control respectively and add both subdirectories to top folder Makefile > 2.- Update the wiki with Stefan contribution > http://wiki.octave.org/Instrument_control_package (Stefan, do you > think you can complete the box just at the beginning?
