Help/advice for creating my own LabVIEW driver for LCR meter 880?

[mshask]

Hi all. Creating my own LabVIEW driver for the LCR meter 880. Never created one before and looking for advice or helpful links on how to start, or if you've done a similar one before possibly a share of your VI or VIs. Thank you.

Hi mshask,

examine other device drivers to learn about their structure/functions.

You will find a lot of them here…

(I would start by testing the B&K 89x device drivers available there!)

If you want to develop a LabVIEW "Plug and Play" driver, you can go to "Create Project" and select "Instrument Driver".  Then follow the prompts to create a basic template.  Be prepared to change much of the guts as you substitute your instrument's SCPI commands for the defaults.  (The instrument usually has some version of a programmer's guide.  If not, programming instructions are probably in the user manual.  If it's not there, either, then they probably don't want you programming it because they want you to purchase their software.  ;))
