Hello,

 

I am completely new to LabView and setting up instrument controls. I don't know which drivers I need to install to run my Eaton ELC control board using LabView. Also, if there is an example VI with that uses an Eaton board, that would also be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Matt

If there was, it would most likely come from Eaton.

Hello Mattu,

 

I recommend reading through the white page I have attached.  Use the model number of your device to look for drivers.  The white paper also discusses how to use the driver in LabVIEW.  It will be difficult find an example with this hardware if it is not on IDNet.  I tried searching for Eaton and couldn't find any drivers.  Depending on how the device communicates, it will need a specific driver.  For example, if it uses serial communication, you will need NI VISA.
