I very much appreciated your work on this. This is very useful to me.

I control SCPI instruments all the time, in many ways (including C++, LabVIEW, and python) so this is awesome for me. I needed this to make some giveaway instruments for a class we are presenting about how to use our EMC testing software.

We use those instruments to test things inside anechoic chambers.

There are benefits to all languages for different situations of course, and your project is easy to adapt to whatever is best at that moment.

Great project!

Very nice addition to your blog series. Very informative and makes me want to to rush off a learn something new (LabVIEW, at least new to me).

For the early adopters, I've added a premature version of the LabVIEW driver library.

The Initialize, Close, Reset and Default Configuration blocks work. So does the Example workflow.

It will call the Init and Close blocks. Attach your Arduino, program it with this project's firmware, and select the port in the Example flow. Then execute and enjoy.

Once I have a fully functional driver lib, I'll attach it to the main post of this series
