The Siglent SPD1000X Series driver should be installed under your LabVIEW installations instr.lib folder, in a folder called Siglent SPD1000X Series. This is most easily done by opening the Siglent SPD1000X Series.zip file using Winzip. From the Winzip main window, select Extract, and in the subsequent window find and select your LabVIEW
instr.lib folder. The Siglent SPD1000X Series.zip archive includes path information beginning with the Siglent SPD1000X Series folder, so there is no need to create this folder yourself.
Make sure that the options "All files/folders in archive" and "Use folder names" are selected, and then click the Extract button. Within the Siglent SPD1000X Series directory you can find the menu files and VI libraries that make up the instrument driver. The menu files allow you to view the instrument driver VIs from the Functions palette. The VI libraries contain the instrument driver VIs. This Readme file will also be extracted to the Siglent SPD1000X Series folder. LabVIEW:
To verify communication with your instrument and test a typical programmatic instrument operation, you should first open the Example VIs contained within the instrument driver. To find the examples, open up the project file, which is located in the path ..instr.lib/ Siglent SPD1000X Series / Siglent SPD1000X Series.lvproj Look over each of the controls and set them appropriately. Generally, with the exception of the address field, the defaults for most controls will be sufficient for your first run. You will need to set the instrument resource name appropriately. After running the VI, check to see that reasonable data was returned and an error was not reported in the error cluster. After you have verified basic communication with your instrument, you might want to customize instrument control for your needs. If your application needs are similar to the Getting Started or Example VI, the simplest means of creating a customized VI is to save a copy of the Getting Started or Example VI by selecting Save As from the File menu. You can then modify this example to meet your specific needs.
