How to use USB from labview 6.0?

[Govin]

I want to be able to communicate with my Bioimpedance analyser using Labview via USB. I will require both control and data acuisition function. Can someone suggest me if labview 6.0 or 7.0 (student Version) has the functionality, without using labview daq card.

There are several ways to communicate over the USB to instruments with VISA.

The following "http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/6792BAB18242082786256DD7006B6416?opendocument">tuto... provides a great deal of information about how to configure this within Measurement & Automation Explorer.

AllenP,

I would be interested in looking into the address specified above, but the link doesn't work!

Thank you

That link seems to be malformed. From the string for the link, I assume that this is what was intended:
