Issue Details

I develop a custom-made tester that I want to control using LabVIEW from a Windows PC. The tester is connected to the Windows PC using ethernet. What is the option available to communicate with this tester?

Solution

LabVIEW have many API and driver than we can use to communicate with 3rd party hardware and instrument.
Refer to Choose the Right Interface to Control Instruments in LabVIEW for details.

If you are using third party hardware that manufacturer provide DLL to communicating with the instrument, you can use LabVIEW's Call Library Function Node or Constructor Node to call the DLL from LabVIEW.

Additional Information

LabVIEW also supporting various industrial protocols . Check if your device supports one of those industrial protocols.
