Connect to Instrument
Connect to a simulated Keysight L4534A Digitizer using ividev with the instrument's MATLAB driver name and resource name. This example uses the agl453xdni driver's simulation mode to run without physically connecting any hardware. Since simulation mode is enabled, the resource name can be specified as empty.

Define Variables
Specify acquisition parameters such as sampling rate, record size, range, etc.
range = 256; offset = 0; numRecords = 1; recordSize = 204800; samplingRate = 20e6; maxTimeMillisec = 5000;
Get General Device Properties
Query information about the driver and its attributes. You can explore properties and sub-properties of the object by clicking on the property links from the object output display.

Configure Channel
Configure the attributes of channel 1 sub-system. These attributes are the range, offset, coupling, and whether the channel is enabled.
configureChannel(dev,"1",range,offset,"VERTICAL_COUPLING_DC",true);
Configure Acquisition
Configure the attributes of the digitizer acquisition sub-system. These attributes are the samples per record, the number of records to acquire, and the sampling rate.
configureAcquisition(dev,numRecords,recordSize,samplingRate);
Read Waveform
The readWaveformReal64 function initiates an acquisition on the configured channel , waits for the acquisition to complete, and returns the waveform for the specified channel.
[waveformArrayReal64, actualPts,firstValidPt,initialOffset,initialXTimeSec,... initialXTimefraction,xIncrement] = readWaveformReal64(dev,"1",maxTimeMillisec,recordSize*numRecords);
Display Waveform
Create a time vector.
t = 0:xIncrement:(length(waveformArrayReal64)-1)*xIncrement;
Plot the waveform.
plot(t,waveformArrayReal64); grid on; xlabel("Time (s)"); ylabel("Volts (V)"); ylim([-3 4]) xlim([0 0.004])
Clean Up
Disconnect and clear the ividev object from the workspace.
