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.

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 the FLS-2200 Broadband
Source for remote control. For more information, see the section on
preparing your unit for automation or remote control in this user
documentation.
