My company are going to build a USB device. We hope that we can use LabVIEW as the user interface for customer to configure this USB device. We hope after the device plug into the computer, the software (VI) can launch it out automatically. And the customer do not need to install any driver for the device. Now I am facing the problem that I don't know how to use USB control in LaVIEW to commincate with the device. I have studied the application note in the NI website, I found out there is 2 ways to work it out: USBTMC and USB Raw mode. Many question arise after the study: 1. For USBTMC, is it mean that if the hardware is followed IEEE 488.1 standard, I can used NI-VISA to send commands to the device? 2. To use NI-VISA to send command to USB device, is there any standard command for the USB device or the command means anything that the device understand? 3. If I use USB Raw mode, is it mean that I need to use VISA driver development wizard to create INF file? 4. Since my company are going to produce plenty of this product, the INF file created before is compatible for all the device? 5. Is the communication in LabVIEW between USB is same as RS232? 6. As I mention before, the software will launch out automatically. How can I work it out? 7. Finally, I need to create a setup for the customer to install this application. Can I include the INF file into it? Is it user friendly to set it up?
