communicating with agilent 34970A using labview.

[satya_1978]

Hi,

I'm using labview to control agilent 34970A DAQ. I was using VEE and
now I'm planning to use Labview. I downloaded the necassary drivers. I
want to know how i can get started. i.e. generating sub vi's like
initialize.vi etc.

All of the functions you need are in the driver. All you should have to do is put all of the files into a folder called HP34970A under the \LabVIEW\instr.lib folder and the functions should show under the Instrument I/O>Instrument Drivers palette. Select the function you need and insert it into a VI.

When you do what Dennis has suggested you'll also find that there will be one or more high level examples included with the Instrument Driver that use the lower level functions. The document on how to write LabVIEW Instrument drivers is pretty useful in getting an overview:
