How can I resolve the issue of connecting my Rigol DL3031A to Simulink via TCP/IP when I've already successfully connected it to MATLAB?

I would like to set up a communication session with the Rigol DL3031A via the TCP/IP Simulink block. I was able to connect my computer to the device with MATLAB; however, I am facing issues when trying to establish the connection through the Simulink model. Any assistance to resolve this issue would be highly appreciated.

Hi Max,

I understand you are trying to setup a communication session with the Rigol DL3031A via TCP/IP Simulink block but are facing some issues. Here are a few general points you could check to try and resolve the same, focusing on “model parameters” and “model settings” in Simulink:

1. TCP/IP Configuration: Make sure that your computer and the Rigol DL3031A are on the same network and verify their IP addresses
2. Simulink Configuration: Check if the Simulink model and the TCP/IP Send or Receive block are added properly, and their parameters are set correctly.
3. Block Configuration: Check if the TCP/IP Send or Receive block is setup to send or receive data in the format expected by the device (e.g., ASCII commands or binary data).
4. Firewall and Security: Check your computer's firewall settings to ensure that they are not blocking the connection to the Rigol DL3031A.

I hope this helps!
