connecting to 2 different scopes from 2 matlab instances
Hello
I have the 5444D and I use it with MATLAB.
I plan on buying the 2204A and using it in parallel with the 5444D from a different instance of MATLAB on the same computer.
Will each instance of MATLAB be able to connect to its scope and they will run independently?
Thank you

Hi gelbertgil,
Sorry for the delayed response.
In theory, you should be able to do that without any issues (although, you may find that you have to compile executables to do so). That is what you can do with our PicoScope 7 software, i.e. run 2 instances of the software with each instance controlling its own PicoScope.
It's actually simpler than controlling 2 PicoScopes from the same API, because you don't need to duplicate functions related to hardware resources (typically using arrays) and reference the individual handles/arrays everytime you want to utilize one of those functions. Instead you can just use the code from the Github examples as direct references (but it may be more time consuming if you do have to create the executables, each time).
Regards,
Gerry
