Hi,
I am new to Smartbits.
I am trying to get drivers for LV, and preferably some code too.
Could someone please post some pointers?
It would be an enormous help.
Thank you,
Hillel.

Hello Hillel,
I am not aware of an existing instrument driver for SmartBits. I have written LabVIEW programs in the past to control the SmartBits 200 using SmartLib from Spirent. Using the functions from SmartLib, you can create automated tests in LabVIEW that are the equivalent of the manual tests you would run from SmartWindow.
I recommend that you create a set of "wrapper" SubVI's that use the Call Library Function Node to execute the C functions in the DLL from SmartLib.
Learning this technique is useful, since it can be applied generally to any DLL that uses C calling conventions.
I hope this helps you get started.
Regards,
Chris Norris
