I have downloaded the BK Precision 1786B LabVIEW drivers from BK's website. As the communication via the ITE cable only proceeds via 26 byte hexadecimal code, I'm having difficulty checking the communcation in NI Max. So, I downloaded the stand-alone PV1758_1788.exe program (a;lso from BK's website). This program does work and it correctly controls the power supply. This tells me there is communication between the computer and the supply. Clos this program and open LV. However, I cannot get the drivers to talk to the device even though I'm using the same port settings in LabVIEW as are used in the stand-alone controller. If I cannot make the drivers work is there a way to embed the executable and have a VI call that instead? If not, what advice can anyone offer me regarding getting these drivers working? For reference I'm using LabVIEW 2013 SP1 32 bit.
