I am working on designing a new test system and we are planning on using some Keysight Precision Power supplies N6700, N6900 and N5700 series. I was wondering if I should chose the labwindows cvi drivers or the labview drivers for the project.
my main concerns are:
long term support
availability of functions
reliability of using LabVIEW vs lab windows cvi
instrument drivers vs direct scpi commands on LabVIEW vs lab windows cvi
compatibility with test stand
overhead difference between lab view and labwindows
hardware requirements for labview driver and test stand based system vs labwindows cvi and test stand based system
anyone have any experience or technical insight into the pros and cons of chosing labwindow cvi/ivi drivers vs labview drivers for third party instruments?
I have attached screesnhots of the drivers available for the power supplies for reference.
