controlling 10k ohm digi pot ic using usb 6001.

Hi all,i am totally new to the daq system; used to work on arduino.For the requirement of a project i have to control a digital potentiometer of 10k ohm(AD5245) using USB 6001.I have no idea how do i proceed using labview. Is there any library that i can use to communicate and control the digi pot using 6001?

Thank you all in advance

Not going to happen with a USB-6001.  That chip uses an I2C bus for setting and reading the position.  You will need something more like a USB-845X device, which is specifically made for I2C and SPI communications.

 

Alternatively, you can make a program that communicates with an Arduino to set and read the position.  The Arduino talks to the chip over I2C and talks to your LabVIEW application over RS-232.  Serial ports are simple.
