			% Class for communication with NewFocus TLB6700 tunable laser controllers
			% Needs UsbDllWrap.dll from Newport USB driver on Matlab path
			% Address field is ignored for this class.
			% Start instrument as MyTlb6700('','USBaddr'), where USBaddr is indicated
			% in the instrument menu. Example: MyTlb6700('','1')
			%
			% This class does not have 'Device' property but uses the communication
			% class UsbComm (which needs to be shared between multiple devices) to
			% mimic some of the standard MyInstrument operations.
			%
			% Operation of opening devices is time-consuming with Newport USB driver,
			% on the other hand multiple open devices do not interfere. So keep
			% the device open for the whole session
