Hi All,
I am interested in controlling my PCs internal CD/DVD drive using LabVIEW. I've had a look around the forums and ni website and it seems that external CD drives can be controlled using a PXI card and the SCSI interface.
Searching the LabVIEW help I haven't been able to find any reference to SCSI but I guess the protocol must be implemented somewhere as it can be used with the PXI card I found referenced during my search.
Initially I would like to just open and close the drive - if anyone can offer some pointers in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Also if anyone is familiar with the level of access provided by SCSI maybe I could get a little extra information. For example eventually it would be useful to be able to control the motor speed of the CD turntable independently - is this type of command exposed in SCSI?
Many thanks for your help,
David
