As mentioned earlier the SNMP Toolkit is certainly your best bet if you want to do it in LabVIEW. SNMP is not exactly a simple protocol and the MIB compiler/parser part can get quite complicated especially if you want to have SNMP support for more than one specific device and information type.

I’ve successfully controlled an instrument using SNMP. The actual business end of the code is very simple. Open UDP connection, UDP write, UDP read, UDP close. The challenging bit is converting the information in the MIB to the message to send.

The way I would approach this (sorry if you have already done this) is to first of all download a copy of an MIB browser and test what you want to do. The one I found best of the few I've tried is from  http://www.ireasoning.com/  This will show you what the OIDs look like for what you want to do and would be a good starting point.

Good Luck

You added to an over six(!) year old thread with a question that very has little resemblance to the topic discussed here.

Please start a new thread and provide significantly more information on the problem you are trying to solve.

Your single-sentence problem description is not sufficient.

Thanks!
