LabVIEW control TTI PL303-P power supply

[EvansL]

There is no installation file in USB Driver V2.07. I do not know how to proceed with installing USB Driver V2.07.

"Did you restart LabView (just to be sure)?"

I definitely did, multiple times just to confirm.

"did you look in the user.lib for the driver functions?"

I have searched under "Find Instrument Driver", to no avail.

Attached is screenshot.

Hi Evans,

There is no installation file in USB Driver V2.07. I do not know how to proceed with installing USB Driver V2.07.

There is a PDF in the ZIP file describing the installation process.

And there is a INF file, which is the "definition" for the driver installation!

(Main point: in the device manager you can search for device drivers. Just select the INF file here! Did you ever needed to install hardware on a WindowsPC?)

Device Manager recognized TTI PL303-P!

Hi Evans,

then all you need to do is to look for the installed LabVIEW driver.

I would use the (Windows) Explorer to do so…

"then all you need to do is to look for the installed LabVIEW driver."

What kind of LabVIEW driver, examples?

I will use (Windows) Explorer.

Hi Evans,

i talk about the "LabVIEW driver", where you should that images claiming "no software will be installed"…

There have to be some VIs, most probably in a folder named "TTI" or "PL-P" or similar!

[EvansL]

I am not in my work area now. I will check on Monday.

No search result found related to "TTI" or "PL-P" in National instrument folder.

Nothing happened after double clicking NI Instrument Driver Finder > PL303-P.

I noticed PL303-P remote indicator changed to orange. Turning the voltage knob did not change the voltage values. It is in remote function.

Attached are the screenshot of Driver files and PL303-P orange remote indicator.

UPDATE: LabVIEW successfully control PL303-P power supply voltage via USB. Example, LabVIEW input 5V, PL303-P power supply voltage changes to 5V accordingly.

GerdW, Could you show me a sample vi to control PL303-P current?
