Using a Third-party PXI Board in LabVIEWHardware: PXI/CompactPCI
Problem: I am using a third-party PXI board in a National Instruments PXI chassis. How do I control the PXI board using LabVIEW? Solution: Some PXI board manufacturers provide a set of LabVIEW VIs that interface with their boards using DLLs, and you can contact the manufacturer of your board to see if they have any available. Some manufacturers provide the VIs as a free download from their website, and other manufactures provide the VIs for a fee. If the manufacturer of your board does not have VIs available, you can use the VISA driver development wizard to assign NI-VISA as the device driver for you board. The VISA driver development wizard is a utility that installs with NI-VISA, and lets you create a device driver for PXI, PCI, USB, and Firewire devices. After you create the driver for your board, you can communicate with the board in LabVIEW using the NI-VISA API. See the related links below for more information.
