Creating a Labwindows/CVI driver

[Rick Hap]

Greetings,

I have an instrument which has a GPIB interface. I also have the
SCPI commands and complete documentation for each SCPI command along
with limits and values for each command. There are about 25 commands
for this instrument.

How do you create a Labwindows/CVI driver from this information?

The reason I ask is that this instrument is part of a larger
application and Labwindows/CVI is the preferred environment.
This instrument will be controlled only through the GPIB interface.

Is there a template .h file that can be changes to incorporate the
specifics of this instruments SCPI commands?

In addition. I have Labview VI's for each of the commands along with a
test.vi for the instrument.

Any suggestions and guidance woul
d be a great help!

Rick
