What is the throughput of the Instrument Control Toolbox 2.1 (R14SP1) with the TCP/IP protocol?

I would like to find documentation on the achieved TCP/IP throughput speed using the Instrument Control Toolbox.

Actual throughput can vary greatly, depending on the network. In real applications, it is most likely that the network is the limiting factor, not the Instrument Control Toolbox.

However, the TCP/IP connection in the Instrument Control Toolbox was designed for query-based communication with instruments, not for importing large amounts of streaming data. If you are importing large amounts of binary data, disable the terminator character in the TCPIP object prior to using the FOPEN function:

t = tcpip('127.0.0.1', 8012);

t.Terminator = '';

fopen(t);
