# PicoScope 5000 Series (A API) - MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver

This MATLAB<sup>®</sup> Generic Instrument Driver allows you to acquire data from the PicoScope<sup>®</sup> 5000 Series Flexible Resolution Oscilloscopes
and control built-in 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).

### 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/42820-picoscope-5000-series-matlab-generic-instrument-driver)
and add the root and sub-folders to the MATLAB path.
