Instrument I/O

Use the Instrument I/O VIs and functions to interface with GPIB, serial, modular, PXI, and other types of instruments. Use the NI Instrument Driver Finder to search for and install instrument drivers. If an instrument driver is not available in the NI Instrument Driver Finder, you can use the Create New Instrument Driver Project wizard to create a new instrument driver.

If driver VIs you expected to find on this palette are missing, you must install support for the driver in the current version of LabVIEW.

Note If you installed an instrument driver with a previous version of LabVIEW, you must reinstall that instrument driver with the current version of LabVIEW.

Before you begin using the Instrument I/O VIs and functions, make sure you choose the appropriate method of instrument control.
