First off, look for the instrument driver. This instrument has an RS-232 interface so I went to the instrument driver database at NI.com, I did not find any hits. You might want to try a more exhaustive search.

Second, ask X-Rite if they have an instrument driver. If not, then you have to write one yourself. This will entail asking X-Rite for the command set manual then coding either all or specific commands for your needs. I would use the VISA serial VIs to send commands and then read responses.

I am assuming you have LV 7.0 or LV7.1 so use the latest version of VISA which is v3.1 (check this).

Good luck.
Robert
