 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.

Hi Andy,<br>
<br>
I tried these steps, but unfortunately it did not work.<br>
I attached a screenshot of the error. Also, when I use the instrhwinfo=C2=
=A0 <br>
function, USB is not listed. Is there anything else I can do?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Kathrin<br>
