Yes, you could create a single driver that would use either a serial or GPIB connection. At the main instrument driver network page (http://www.ni.com/downloads/instrument-drivers/), there is a section on driver development. One of the options is the instrument driver wizard that will create a series of typical VIs needed and you edit them to provide the actual commands for your instrument. The good news is that a power supply is one of the easiest to program.

In addition to what Dennis mentioned, have your power supply's programmer's guide - it could be a separate document or contined withing the manual or user's guide - handy.  That is where you will find the necessary info to populate the driver shell with.

As Dennis said, a power supply is one of the simplest device to program.  A great one to cut your teeth on!
