Is anyone aware of LV USB drivers for the Delta Ohm HD2102 Photo-Radiometer?
Thank you,

There do not appear to be any drivers in the Instrument Driver Network. The device appears to have a USB and serial interface. You could use the Create Instrument Driver Project wizard in LabVIEW to get started on one. The issue comes in with whether you're going to use serial or USB. Serial will be easier. You would need to know the command set, which would be documented. You can also download instrument drivers for other instruments from the Instrument Driver Network to see how they're done. There is also this KB article: Developing LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Drivers.
If you want to go USB, that's harder. You will need to know what kind of USB interface the instrument implements. It can be either RAW, or USBTMC - the manufacturer can tell you that. For USB control there's this KB article: USB Instrument Control Tutorial. Alternatively, they may have a DLL to use to control the instrument over USB. In this case you would need to use the Call Library Function function to call the DLL.

I have the model with a USB interface. Thank you for the links though, I will do some more research.
