I tried using the tcpip function ( http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/11802 ). It seems to connect but when I try to read or write something, the instrument shows error. Has anyone been able to accomplish this before?

Hello,

If you use just TCPIP you do not need any additional software installation.
However, using VISA object requires installation of VISA software.

With TCPIP, you might have to find the correct port to connect to.
Look at Section 2 of the user's manual for the instrument at: http://www.keithley.com/data?asset=52056

It appears that you need to use port 5025 when using TCPIP object.
However, you need some settings as listed in the user manual.

All the best.
