Dummy_Dec brings up a good point. VISA supports both "raw socket" and the VXI-11 protocol. If you haven't heard of VXI-11 or you have no plans to implement this in your instrument you should just go with VISA and the raw socket (eg tcpip::192.168.1.100::5025::socket).
Once you have conected via the viOpen call you can use the write and read calls to either the serial or ethernet ports on the instrument.as if they were the same. That is the main benefit of VISA in getting IO independance.

I'm sorry for this stupid questtion, I'am a beginer on labwindows cvi and I am stuck in my project. In fact I have a measuring instrument that I know its IP address, it measures the cables vibrations. I am looking for a CVI driver that allows me to read real-time measurements only by giving the instrument IP address. The instrument is connected to my computer via Ethernet. Thank you for your help I really need it.

You could start by searching yout instrument in the Instrument Driver Network
