Hi,
In order to communicate with this instrument in LabVIEW, you will need to create a LabVIEW instrument driver, or you may request an instrument driver. The easiest way to create an instrument driver is to use the Instrument I/O Assistant in LabVIEW. This link will help you get started with the Instrument I/O Assistant. Another good resource is the LabVIEW Instrument I/O VI Reference Manual. It contains descriptions for the use and development of LabVIEW instrument drivers and LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs) for GPIB, VXIbus, and serial port I/O operation. I recommend paying special attention to Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the Instrument I/O VI Reference Manual.
On the NI Developer Zone, there is a Development Tools and Resources section, which provides additional resources for driver development. Creating your own instrument driver can involve some advanced LabVIEW programming depending on the instrument. You may want to consider contacting an alliance member. The National Instruments Alliance Partner Program is a network of more than 600 consultants, system integrators, developers, channel partners, and industry experts partnering with NI to provide complete, high-quality virtual instrumentation solutions to customers.
I hope that this information helps.
