There are "Drivers" for most instruments. You can find them at National Instruments web site, which is a great resource.
For the Keithley 237 >http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/c09c16a5d9f 97468862568ab005fb963?OpenDocument< You didn't specify the model of the Agilent multimeter so you can search here for it: >http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/browse/< There is a short tutorial that comes with LabVIEW which is a good place to start. The National Instruments Developers Zone (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf) has lots of information. The LabVIEW Basics I and LabVIEW Basics II courses are a great place to get started with LabVIEW. You can attend a class or get Course Kits, which contain a manual and software exercises that you would use if you attended an instructor-led course. There are also books available for LabVIEW that will teach you anything you want to learn. Check out Amazon.com and do a search on LabVIEW.

I have never used GPIB before. The two instruments that that I will be using are Keithley 237 HV Source and a HP Agilent Multimeter. The process is basically applying current from the HVsource to material in test and measure the voltage across using the HP multimeter. Being new to GPIB, I was wondering how to start on this. I was wondering whether there are any standard routines to reading/writing, configuring instead of me writing for the Keithley and HP instrument that I will be using. This would be helpful for me to start with. Also, I would like to know where to start reading to develop progams for the same. I was kind of stuck for past 2 days when I saw the LabView user group online. Thank you all for the help, Gokul
