I have a GPBI card (NI 488.2) to connect a LCR meter HP4275A to my PC. I'ld like to install Labview on my PC and download drivers to pilote my HP4275A to remote datas from the meter to the PC and then use them in microsoft excel. But I don't know which version I should use between Base, Full, Professional and NI developer to do this. I hope the Base one will be sufficient otherwise my boss won't be very happy...
The base version will give you everything you need to talk to the instrument and create a file. Personally, I think the full version is the minimum purchase since it gives you so much in the way of analysis functions and the event structure makes user interfaces much easier to write. The professional version adds the application builder and a few other things but you can always but the app builder can be bought separately if you need to create an exe even with the base version.
