LabView for PDA USB Driver?

[Simul8r]

We are using LabView 7.0 as a front end for a distributed network (USB) of test equipment. It is our understanding that Labview does not support USB on PDA's directly. Would the NI Hardware Measurement DDK support development of a USB Device driver on an iPAQ Pocket PC (WINCE) PDA? Or is there an existing driver which maps an RS232 port to USB?

Thank you,

Hi Bob,

LabVIEW support for USB is provided by the NI-VISA driver, which at the moment is only supported on the Windows platform.

The Measurement hardware DDK is used to program DAQ devices on Windows CE (through register-level programming). However, it can be a guide on how to write a simple driver and how to interact with LabVIEW using dlls. You'll need to find information on how to write drivers for USB devices. You could find such information in the Windows CE SDK available at Microsoft's web site.

Hope this helps.
