Thank you all.
I have posted questions to microchip forum but have not got any reply. however, i think i will use AutoHotKey method to access MPLAB IDE for the calibration setting. Thanks a lot!

please, does anyone have a complete USB->MPLAB labview solution to show
including screen shots of how the drivers/usb ports are all set up ( even in
USBRAW mode)
i have read all these replys, followed and implemented the solutions but i am
going around in circles.
I am stuck with the USB connection. The command line vi gives a port error
and the USBRAW solution does complie with the mplab code...the
answer has to to be a mix of the 2...thanking you all from "desperate" 🙂

Unfortunately, I do not have the MPLAB CD to show you the process, but if you have CD (or from Microchip's website) then try installing the software (MP Lab IDE etc) from it. This automatically installs required drivers.
as soon as you connect the PM3 Progremmer to the PC, you'll be prompted to select the USB drivers for the first time. there you can select, automatic search option for the default location.
this entire procedure is same as any other USB based device driver installation.
For the reported port error - USB port no is 5 according to MP lab IDE. you can check this from the MPLab IDE Communication Port settings. Check whether you correctly mentioned the port no. in the command line code.
P.S: you can download the latest MPLab IDE version from Microchip. This ensures any fixes for the previously reported bugs. For e.g. earlier to version 8.X, I faced issue for some command line execution and reported the bugs. It was solved with the next version.
i hope you try this and share us your success story

Thanks for your prompt reply....a summary
unintsall mplab ( just to go back to base 1)
load mplab ( i have v8.46), connect usb cable, allow drivers to load.
ignore labview/USBRAW/INSTR/BULK etc.
load command line vi ( example above but can simplify)
port id 5...so to read a file ( a sanity check for communication and connection)....
.....exe -5 -PdsPIC33FJ128MC506A -GFc:sample.hex
please criticise...thanks

thank you again finally working .... i am using MPLAB ICD3 which has a couple
of changes to the command line parameters from MPLAB PM3. There is no "1-5" for the communication port,
also i dropped the dsPIC from the product type and that worked ( not clear and found this in anger). Regards.

Has anyone developed a complete solution to controlling an ICD/PIC with LABVIEW?
Thanks
