KPIB: Kenny-Purpose Interface Bus 1.0

kpib.m contains code for GPIB and serial port communication for a number of scientific instruments, organized so that a single common command syntax can operate them all. For example, the command:r = kpib(INSTRUMENT,GPIB,'read');will return the voltage and current reading from a number of different power supplies. The goal is to be able to write matlab code that can accommodate changing instruments and experimental setups with minimum hassle. If INSTRUMENT and GPIB are defined as constants at the beginning of your code, then they can be changed to accommodate new equipment, and the rest of the code is unchanged. In addition, kpib can test whether an instrument exists at an address and read and write arbitrary strings to instruments for testing.Supported instruments (v4.88): Temperature Controllers'BlueOven' 2800 Controller for Thermotron S-1.2 Thermal Chamber (aka "Blue Oven")'GreyOven' ICS 4809 Modbus interface to Watlow F4 Controller for TestEquity 1007S Thermal Chamber (aka "Grey Oven")'AcuOven' Watlow 981 Temperature controller for Acutronic inertial test chamber.

Use the "Find" command or use the Cell menu in the MATLAB Editor (the "%%" menu) to jump to the code for a specific instrument, or use "showdemo kpib" to open the code in the Help browser.The device drivers are not complete; they are based on user needs. A code template is provided for adding other instruments or commands. See the comments ("showdemo kpib") for details. Note that the code assumes a single National Instruments PCI GPIB interface card, but this can be changed to other hardware supported by MATLAB, incl. USB, as well as serial port controllers (e.g. Prologix). See help for details. Feedback and contributions are welcome.Includes sample programs
