text based programming control of instruments

How do I control instruments by writing my own text-based commands, rather than using plug & play drivers? i.e. How do I get an interface for entering text? (Labview 6.1)

Use VISA or GPIB Write. Drop the VISA Write function on a diagram, create controls for VISA resource name and write buffer. On the panel, clicking on the arrow of the VISA resource name will show all the names of the connected instruments. Select the one you want, enter the command into the text box and run the VI. This is the traditional way of creating LabVIEW instrument drivers.
