Configuring LabView 7.0 for 3 keithley instruments(to measure voltage)

[Ravi_UoU]

I have LabView 7.0 installed on my system (Windows XP). Its configured to run two keithley instruments for measuring voltage. I would like to know, (1) Can we modify the software to add another keithley instrument?

Yes you should be able to do that.

How do you communicate with your instruments?  via RS-232? GPIB?

If GPIB, you simply need to add an additional VISA resource based on the GPIB ID of that instrument.

If it is using the serial port, then you would need the hardware resource to support it (ie: a third port).

I use GPIB

Then all you need to do is add the Third Keithley instrument and setup the VISA resource (GPIB) to the instrument's GPIB-ID number.  If you have MAX, you should also be able to detect the instrument and be able to communicate with it.
