    4. Using the Instrument Driver
    LabVIEW:
    To verify communication with your instrument and test a typical programmatic instrument operation, you should
    first open the Getting Started or Example VIs the instrument driver. Look over each of the controls and set
    them appropriately. Generally, with the exception of the address field, the defaults for most controls will
    be sufficient for your first run. You will need to set the instrument resource name appropriately. After
    running the VI, check to see that reasonable data was returned and an error was not reported in the error
    cluster.
    After you have verified basic communication with your instrument, you might want to customize instrument
    control for your needs. If your application needs are similar to the Getting Started or Example VI, the
    simplest means of creating a customized VI is to save a copy of the Getting Started or Example VI by
    selecting Save As from the File menu. You can then modify this example to meet your specific needs.
    For more details, reference the LabVIEW Help under Help»VI, Function, & How-To Help.
