How can I use my Keithley 2100 DMM with LabVIEW 7 Express?

How can I communicate with Keithley 2100 digital multimeter using LabVIEW 7.0?

Hi,

There are a number of ways,

1) Unfortunately the driver on the Keithley site is for labview version 8.0, so you could speak to keithley to see if they can provide a ver7.0 of the instrument driver

2) You could use the version for the 2000 model from the NI website

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E90B0659CE034080020E748...

There is a version 7.0 which you could modify to suit the 2100

3) Use the VISA vi's and create your own driver using the user manual for the bus commands to driver the instrument.

Hope this helps

Regards

I've tried 1) but unfortunately Keithley couldn't provide the ver7.0.
