Hi Andy,
I tried these steps, but unfortunately it did not work.
I attached a screenshot of the error. Also, when I use the
instrhwinfo
function, USB is not listed. Is there anything else I can do?
Best regards,
Kathrin

Per the wiki for instrument-control [1], the usbtmc
interface is not available in windows. You can also run
'instrhwinfo' from octave to see which interfaces have been
built..
It you are doing basic serial type commands, you can just use
the serialport object
instead.to
read and write to a usb serial port.
