cRIO to communicate with a LXI instrument

[Asa77]

Hi,

I am trying to use a cRIO-9057 to control the output voltage of Compact Wide-Range DC Power Supply (CV/CC) - PWR-01 Series | KIKUSUI ELECTRONICS CORP.

This has LAN (LXI), USB & RS232 ports. The manufacturer provides IVI-com drivers as well, and this certainly supports windows environment.

PWR-01 Series - IVI-COM Multi-Environment Drivers | KIKUSUI ELECTRONICS CORP.

But I can't get this on cRIO. I wonder if that's because it does not support linux. Help would be much appreciated.

I would just write my own set of drivers using the SCPI commands.  I have not used VISA on a cRIO, but I think that will still work.  If not, just use the raw TCP/IP functions.
