Please use Help> Find Instrument Drivers.

Connect the cable to the main frame. Hopefully you have an NI GPIB controller. It will be easier to use.

See http://www.ni.com/downloads/instrument-drivers/ for information on how to use a driver.

1) If you can't even figure out how to connect up a GPIB, you are in trouble.  It is fairly obvious where the GPIB end goes and then the USB goes into your computer.

2) LabVIEW Basics
LabVIEW 101

3) Start by downloading the LabVIEW driver for it: Agilent 66XXX Series Power Supply
