PI is a Product Partner of The MathWorks Connections Program

Product- independent communication interface makes integration of PI controllers into customers’ MATLAB applications easy

PI has become a member of The MathWorks Connections Program. This partnership is based on the PI GCS DLL interface, that offers an easy way to communicate to all kinds of PI controllers from within MATLAB, the widely used flagship product of The MathWorks.

The MathWorks Connections Program is available to third-party organizations that develop and distribute complementary, commercially available products and services based on the MATLAB technical computing environment. The MathWorks Connections Program partners help MATLAB users by providing industry or application-specific technology to fill their need for a complete solution. Partner products offer solutions that are seamlessly integrated with MathWorks products and ensure ongoing compatibility in conjunction with new MATLAB releases.

With the new interface libraries, customers can easily control the various micro- and nanopositioning products by PI, import sampled data into the MATLAB workspace and use it in their own MATLAB applications.
