Has anyone developed a LabVIEW program to control a Bertan 230 power supply with a serial interface

Has anyone developed a LabVIEW program to control a Bertan 230 power supply with a serial interface? There is not a lot of information from Bertan and I am looking for assistance in developing an instrument driver.

You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some o
f the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

The company that makes these HV-power supplies should give you enough information on the commands and data that is send over the serial communication port.
If the amount of commands are limited, and if you have enough LabVIEW experience, you could make your own driver.
