Hi,

 

What language are you using to write your application?

Hi,

 

I need my device to be controlled by another software named "infas Vibro 2.0", which is a software for laser interferometer measurement. The software can control all visa compatible function generators by using visa resource name.

Hi,

 

After you install NI-VISA, open NI-MAX and plug in the VB 8012.

You should see the device show up under devices along with the resource name.

I'm not sure if it will work as a stand alone signal generator with your software.
