connecting to ilx lightwave fom-7990b

[Leesha97]

Hi,

I want to connect  ilx lightwave fom-7990b  in LabVIEW ,using gpib controller. i searched for the drivers. but i couldn't find it.  

Please guide further how to connect it to Labview and communicate.

1. You can reach out to the manufacturer and ask for a LabVIEW driver
2. Get hold of the programmer's manual (which I was able to find here - https://www.artisantg.com/info/ILX_FOM7900B_Manual.pdf) and develop the drivers yourself
3. Hire someone to write the driver you require

Most of us end up doing #2, if you're new to automating instruments in LabVIEW, this is a good tutorial https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/VIWeek_2020/Proper_way_to_communicate_over_serial

If you're choosing #2, please be prepared to experiment and learn. If you're new to LabVIEW, there are a few good learning sources here https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/bd-p/170
