Overview

Programmatic recognition of USB Power Meters.

  

Description

This example uses the System Configuration API to look for devices present on the system and compare them to a known serial number. In this case, that device is a USB-5681 Power Meter. If the device is not found, it displays a message to the user that no devices were present in the system with that serial number. If the device does exist, the resource name for that device is used to open a session to that device.

 

This example is useful if your system has more than one power meter, otherwise it is optional in case your applications requires it. 

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Ensure the Power Meter is connected to the computer.

2. Run the VI.

 

Requirements

Software

1. LabVIEW 2015 (or compatible)
2. NI 568x Driver

3. NI System Configuration

 

Hardware

1. NI Power Meter
