Hello everybody
Im currently trying to control my tektronix power supply PWS4305 with labview.
After downloading tektronix drivers, I can control it from labview but I wish I could measure current and voltage.
There is a tool called "Read Output", can somebody help me ?
Thank you

What exactly is the problem? One of the examples that comes with the driver (PWS4XXX Series Monitor Output) shows how to measure voltage and current. Please open the examples and give it a look. Help>Find Examples>Hardware Input and Output>Instrument Drivers>LabVIEW Plug and Play. If you used the expected download method (Help>Find Instrument Drivers), all of the examples would have been displayed when the download was complete.

I already opened this example. It give the possibility to impose a given current or given voltage but can I have a graph of this current?

It gives the possiblility to read. If you want a chart or graph, you just need to call the function inside of a loop. The examples are just starting points. You would actually want to create your own VI from the lower level functions.
