Issue with Aardvark Interface in Instrument Control Toolbox

I am experiencing an issue with the Aardvark interface in the Instrument Control Toolbox. Despite having installed the Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI Interface, I receive the following message when attempting to use the `aardvarklist` function:

```

Get the Aardvark driver by installing the Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI Interface from the Add-On Explorer.

```

Here are the steps I have already taken to resolve the issue:

1. Reinstalled the Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI Interface from the Add-On Explorer.

2. Verified that the path `C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2024a\toolbox\instrument\supportpackages\aardvark` is included in the MATLAB path.

3. Restarted MATLAB multiple times.

4. Ensured that the Total Phase USB drivers are correctly installed and that the Aardvark adapter appears in the Windows Device Manager under the USB section.

5. Cleared the MATLAB toolbox cache using the `rehash toolboxcache` command.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. Could you please provide further assistance or guidance on how to resolve this problem?

Thank you for your support.

Hi @豪人,

As I understand you are experiencing an issue with the Aardvark interface after installing the "Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI Interface." To verify if the support package is installed correctly, you can use the following command:

matlab.addons.installedAddons()

For further troubleshooting, refer to this documentation link, which details system, controller, and connection requirements:

Hope this helps!

I tried the command you suggested, `matlab.addons.installedAddons()`, and it returned the following result:
