Create a Driver with Labview

[inuyasha84]

Hello, for a job that i will start the next month I have to create a driver for some Non-NI instruments using labview.

Could you provide me some files where I can read how to do it, what kind of commands I need to use to comunicate with the instruments and so on?

THank you in advace.

What instrument?  What communication bus are you using?  Does it have a programmer's guide?  Did you look in the IDNet to see if there is already a driver written?

You are talking very generically.  If you have more specifics, we can give better information.

Hi actually i don't know with what kind of instrument i'll have to comunicate. the question is generical because i want to start to study and read as much as i can so that i can have a background knowledge on those subjects  🙂

Assuming a common problem and solution, it's serial communication, in which case you bundle command (e.g. Send "P" to a unit to get it to print its value) as vi's and read back and interpret the result. This result will be the output.
