Controlling ADALM1000 (M1K) from Analog Devices

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the ADALM1000 device from Analog Devices as a SMU, by controlling it with LabVIEW. This device has two channels from which you can chose to measure a voltage, source a voltage and measure a current, or source a current and measure a voltage.
There is a software (PixelPulse) that allows to do all of that but I need to be able to do it in LabVIEW, at least I need to be able to source a voltage and measure a current to plot IV curves. 

So I was wondering if anyone has been able or tried to do that yet?

 

Up to now, I went through the source code of PixelPulse (which is available on the github of analog devices), to understand how to control the device. Since I am not really good in C, I still don't get everything but I know what library it is using (libsmu).
I was thinking of using this library in LabVIEW using those instructions (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Program-Drafts/Using-Existing-C-Code-or-a-DLL-in-LabVIEW/ta-p/349923...), but I don't know if this is a good solution and if I will be able to use it afterwards.

Thanks in advance for you opinion on the matter!

Heyyy, could you figure out how to do it? I'm trying to do the same thing but I can't find any drivers to control the SMU with LabVIEW. If you know now any help would be very useful, thanks!
