Instrument Driver

[matsuajavier]

Hello community, 

I recently downloaded an instrument driver Druck ADTS 40X,  and was looking for another driver from the manufacturer Laversab, but unfortunately wasn't able to find it. In this case, if I'm not able to find a driver for this specific instrument, should I build my own? Use the Druck ADTS driver as a template? 

Just looking for a little advice on how I might go about this. I did indeed already reach out to the company to see if the have what I'm looking for.

(: Thanks for your help in advance

In my experience most LabVIEW "drivers" are nothing more than the a set of VI's that use the instruments' SCPI commands.

Granted I have never used your device, but it is common for similar devices in an instrument line use exactly the same SCPI commands, except of course with different min or max values.

That's exactly what I was assuming as well, but I just wanted to ensure with someone who had more experience with "drivers" as I am fairly new to them

Thanks for your response, I greatly appreciate it.
