Siglent Power Supply SPS5165X

I am trying to control a Siglent power supply SPS 5165X using LabVIEW. However, I can only find LabVIEW driver for the SPD3000X family power supplies. How can I use or convert the driver to run the 5000-family power supply? Thanks in advance.

Did you try the LabVIEW driver that they provide on their website?

I tried the drivers available on their website (SPD3303 and SPD1000X) but they are not working. The error message is attached.

I also installed the IVI driver for this model but could not configure it in the Labview.

 I you are having trouble with drivers you can use NI VISA (in LabVIEW) and use SCPI commands to interface with the power supply. The doc on how to do that is here: 

 

https://siglentna.com/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2022/06/SPS5000X_Usermanual_E02B.pdf

 

From that doc: 

 

Users can realize remote control of the instrument by using NI-VISA of NI (National
Instrument Corporation). Regarding NI-VISA, there is a complete and real-time version
(Run-Time Engine version). The complete version includes NI device drivers and a tool
called NI MAX. NI MAX is a user interface used to control the device. The real-time version
is much smaller than the full version, and it only includes NI device drivers.
After installing NI-VISA, use a USB cable to connect the SPS5000X (via the USB Device
interface on the rear panel) to the computer, or use a network cable to connect the
SPS5000X (via the LAN interface on the rear panel) to the local area network where the
computer is located.
Based on NI-VISA, users can remotely control SPS5000X in two ways, one is through web
service; the other is custom programming combined with SCPI commands. For more
information, please refer to the programming examples.

 

Programing guide follows...

Did you get this working? Did you look at the document that Siglent provided that gives all of the commands (SPS IVI-C Programming)?
