Hello,
I am a beginner in LabVIEW and am trying to communicate with a ThorLabs MIR Laser (MLQF4550). I went to the ThorLABS software page, downloaded the drivers and have spent so many hours to just trying to make communication with the laser. However, I believe the drivers in the software page are incomplete as the directions in the ThorLABS pdf manual don't match up with the installation. I've been browsing NI and saw that NI Visa allows communication with the USB/GPIB devices. Are there any manuals that I can use to catch up so I can work on this project. I am constructing a GUI and I have heard LabVIEW is the best approach in making a GUI.
Laser System: https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_ID=10097
PDF I've tried to follow but drivers dont match up: https://www.thorlabs.com/software/MUC/MLQ/TL_MIR_TKL_WYOA_V1.0_web-secured.pdf
All in all, what is the best way to communicate with the laser, to adjust the intensity/ place for loops etc/ build a GUI.
Thank you in advance
