Hi
I'm new to LabView.
I have installed it on Scientific Linux 6, including NI-VISA. I have an external device which I have configured via visaconf.
The external device comes with drivers that are installed and with a testing program. When I open the testing program, I assume I have to select my device under VISA. But there is no device listed there. Is there anything I need to do to select my device?
Thanks!

Oh, I should also mention that I run everything as root, at least for the time being, to not run into any permission issues.

Well, I see it under /dev/ttyUSB0 or when I type lsusb. Not sure how to communicate with it otherwise. I'm as sure to have the right drivers installed as I'm sure that the manufacturer pointed me to the right drivers...

What do you mean by "accessing the port"?

Yes, I can communicate with it with Python.
