Fingerprint detector with labview

[ssv]

I wanted to use my biopod fingerprint detector from APC as a security device within my labview program that I am creating. This device connects to my USB Port within my PXI. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Communicating via USB isn't as straight forward as we might hope. It might be thought of as doing serial communications with an instrument. To communicate with the instrument you need to know about the instrument's communications protocol. Similarly, while the USB interface is well defined, how you communicate with a specific device isn't. To use your unit you will need either an ActiveX component, .dll (with interface definitions) or some other interface code to allow you to communicate with it. What does it come with in the way of drivers, etc.? If it comes with an interface (software) definition and some programmers tools then we can probably help.

P.M.
