Dear All,

I am new Labview user. Can anyone please suggest how to connect  a USB device by LabView  7 or 7.1.

It will be a great help to me.

Waiting for your quick and positive response.

You're going to have to give us a lot more information about what you are trying to do if you want assistance.  What kind of USB device are you trying to control or communicate with?

I dont know what you mean by connecting it to LabVIEW.

If you want to do stuff with this USB device, it will be automatically assigned a COM port by your computer.

Then if you want to read/write to it, there are serial read/write functions you can use (USB counts as a serial port).

 You are going to have to be more specific for me to help more.

Also, many devices come with drivers that include LabVIEW functions.

Go to:

Tools >>  Instrumentation >> Instrument Driver Network

and search for your device. It may come with some functions already, which will make life a lot easier for you.
