Instrument Drivers

I downloaded the instrument driver for the Agilent N330x series electronic load. I haven't used Labview in several (10?) years, but I was expecting a 'virtual instrument' front panel which would allow me to control the device over GPIB much as I would manually from the device itself.

 

Instead it looks like what I have is a set of sub-VIs which I would need to piece together to create my own virtual device. Before I do that, and possibly reinvent the wheel, I wanted to check here to see if I'm misinterpreting something, and the N330x virtual instrument is available elsewhere on the NI or vendor site I seem to remember in the past this was usually available.

 

Any assistance is appreciated!

Except for a very few rare cases with very simple instruments, a driver has never included a front panel that is a duplicate of the actual instrument. It is rarely required.

 

You do of course, have the example program (Help>Find Examples) that uses some of the functions and would be a starting point.
