If there is no driver, it means you have to program it yourself. First have a look at the manual, it should contain a part what kind of commands are available to use via RS232 or GPIB. Also, you need to decide what kind of hardware interface you wanna use: GPIB or RS232?

After you decided which interface to use, you can test the commands first manually using MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer).

Finally you can program your own driver VIs using VISA:

edit: example program to find --> Open LabVIEW, and go to "Help" menu --> "Find examples..." --> Type "GPIB VISA" into the search field, and open the example VI called: "GPIB with VISA functions.vi" . This can give you an idea how to program your hardware.

Hi, I ask a question about writing labview for Keithley 595 a few weeks ago, and you answer it. 

First, thanks for helping me. However, when I use instrument assistant to write my command, it didn't work.

According to the manual, the first step is entering "REMOTE728", where 28 represents address and 7 represents controller's interface select code. 

I wonder what controller's interface select code is. I entered "REMOTE028"~"REMOTE928", but it didn't work.

Another question, Keithley 595 is a 1980's product. Is there any chance that Labview's instrument assistant is too new for Keithley 595.

Therefore, I can't use Labview's instrument assistant to control  Keithley 595.

Thanks for helping me.

You should check the address numbers and try the steps as described in the manual.

That is all I can help, also you might ask for help from the manufacturer...

I think you need to put a space between the command and the numbers.
