Connecting to Exfo LTB-8 via LabVIEW

[Bilchu]

Hi all, 

I have LabVIEW 2021 installed. 

I'm very new to LabVIEW/computer programming and have little to no knowledge, apologies for the basics in this message. 

I've recently completed Core2 LabVIEW training so have some experience with using the software. 

I have an Exfo LTB-8 with the following modules inserted into the chassis.

OTDR - 720C

Light Source - 2150

Power Meter - 1750 x 4

Attached is a PDF from Exfo explaining how to connect to this unit via LabVIEW/Ethernet, however, I cannot seem to add this in the block diagram or front panel.

I think the part I'm struggling with is adding this to NI MAX due to not knowing the port name of the device, also page 13/14 on the PDF is confusing, again the lack of knowledge with this.

Any help/guidance would be extremely appreciated. 

Thanks in advance, 
Bilchu

Try this out.  See if your specific instrument has a LabVIEW driver ready to go.

Hi,

The document talks about a sample LV program. Do you by any chance have it? Can you please forward it?

thanks,
