i am doing one Labview project. so my project is about design a interface in labview which one collect the data from keithley 2400 via GPIB connection.

Use Help> Find Instrument Drivers to install the driver and go to http://www.ni.com/downloads/instrument-drivers/ to learn what a driver is and how to use one. This would after you've finished some of the LabVIEW tutorials.

at first how can i design the interface to drive the keithley 2400  , I am very new about labview

Your first task should be to just be able to send commands to the instrument.  Do as Dennis suggested and download the drivers for the instrument and get familiar with them.  Build up small VIs that do little tasks with those drivers so you can get used to them.  Then worry about your main interface.

How can I build small VIs and I already insulate the drive

[Dennis_Knutson]

If you've taken the tutorials, you should know how write small VIs. You also have examples that show how to use some basic functions in the driver - Help> Find Examples> Hardware Input and Output.

Well this is my project about:
design of an interface with Labview to drive the sourcemeter (via GPIB connection) and collect the data using 2 or 4 wires conenctions. The application should be able to dislay the curve, save the data and compute the above parameters.

Please tell me what I need to do first any suggestion. Thanks

Simply ridiculous the number of people who have the nerve to ask someone else to do their work for them.

As I said before, your first task is to get the driver like Dennis told you.  Get familiar with those drivers and how to call the VIs to get the meter to do what you want.  After that, I would recommend reading up on the State Machine architecture.
