USB from labview 6.0. How to use it?

[pyridium]

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.

I heard, that There are several ways to communicate over the USB to instruments with VISA. Can somebody describe one of them for me?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly USB per VISA is available only in VISA versions compatible with LabVIEW Version 7.1 and later.  But if someone has information to the contrary, I'm listening.

The only other way would be to get a driver from your device vendor (DLL-based) and use that instead.
