vi's for testometric

I'm looking for any vi's that work with testometric materials testing machines.
This instrument comes with its own software (called winTest) but its very unfreindly.
The instrument connects to the PC via RS232.

dfhg,

In the case where you have an instrument and are looking for either a LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or IVI driver there are a few places to check out. The first and best resource for instrument drivers designed to work with National Instruments hardware and software is the Instrument Driver Network at http://www.ni.com/idnet where there are over 3000 instrument drivers from over 180 vendors. The integrated search features of the site make it easy to find the right instrument driver for your supported instrument.

In the case of an unsuccessful search for your instrument in the Instrument Driver Network, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer of your instrument directly. It is often the case where instrument manufacturers make instrument drivers for LabVIEW and CVI available on their websites.

Finally, in the case where neither the Instrument Driver Network nor the instrument manufacturer has the instrument driver for you, you can submit a driver request to our instrument driver group by clicking on 'Driver Request' on the main page of the Instrument Driver Network. These requests are monitored by the Instrument Driver group at National Instruments and are developed according to popular demand. When all else fails email the manufacturer of the instrument and inquire about the possiblility of a future driver.

Keep in mind that it is always possible to actually create your own instrument driver. On the Instrument Driver Network website there are many helpful documents that discuss how to create your own driver. These drivers can then be submitted to the Instrument Driver Network for the benefit of others. Please see the below links for more information.
