So when i connect USB cable from instrument to my laptop, under device manager it shows com3. When i try to start software development , it is not detecting. Please guide me how can i start. Thanks .

If the instrument shows up as Com3, in VISA resource control, you will be able to select Com3 and use it with the instrument drivers.

Here is a nice tutorial - https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/VIWeek_2020/Proper_way_to_communicate_over_serial

Instrument shows only in device manager. How to start building VI in LabVIEW.

The above tutorial will give a good idea of controlling devices over serial port.

Looks like your power supply manufacturer has LV drivers - https://elektroautomatik.com/shop/media/archive/47/8a/a3/LabView_VI_Package.zip

You may also need to go at least once into NI-MAX to verify that it can see your COM3 port. If NI-MAX can't see your serial device you can jump high and low as much as you want, but LabVIEW and any other VISA based software won't be able to see your device either.
