Using FTB Products in an Automated Test Environment
Working with EXFO LabVIEW Drivers
Working with EXFO LabVIEW Drivers
EXFO provides you with custom drivers that you can use to program
commands for your inspection instruments.
You need to be familiar with the LabVIEW environment and
programming methods to work with EXFO drivers.
Regardless of whether you work with the provided Getting Started
applications or your own VIs (using EXFO drivers), the steps remain the
same.
Before configuring the communication parameters via LabVIEW (provided
applications or new VI), you must configure your unit for remote control.
For more information, see the section on preparing your unit for
automation in this user guide.
Ensure that the communication type that you will set in LabVIEW
matches the one selected for your unit.
