The DAQ Assistant is only for NI hardware. Check with the company to see if they provide a LabVIEW driver. Your description of the device is vague. Can you provide a link?

[GonchiNavía]

Yes, the model of the data aquisitor it's xr440 "pocket logger". I also talked with the distributors of the product. But they answered me, that they don't have the driver for the product, so the best solution is create a "NI-VISA" archive. What do you think?

[Dennis_Knutson]

You can use NI-VISA if the connection is a serial port and you have a list of commands. A non-serial connection would be more difficult to implement.

Yes it's, the connection it's by serial port, where i can download "NI-VISA", actually I have problem's finding "visa proyect wizard"

[Dennis_Knutson]

I don't know what you mean, sorry.

Hello GonchiNavia,

Thanks for using National Instruments forums! Answering to your questions, as Dennis mentioned you will need to develop your own driver using NI-VISA functions; you can find these functions right clicking the Block Diagram in LabVIEW --> Instrument I/O --> VISA.

Good luck with your driver development!

how i can do that? do you have any examples or tutorials?

[Luis_CT · Accepted solution]

You can check the ones that come with LabVIEW in the NI Example Finder (Help --> Find Examples...). Open the NI Example Finder and in the Search tab type VISA and you'll find several examples.

Hope this information works for you!
