Hi
Why do you want to writte panel driver, As I found you would like to writte your own application. The "direct I/O" is the place where you should place RS commands. Writting "panel driver" is for advanced users (like meter makers) who would like to simplify use of their products. For standard communications there are "direct I/O" in instrument manager or all commands you coul find in "advanced I/O", but for you the "direct I/O" it will be enought. Problem is that you should configure instrument before you could use it, but sometimes it is problem with RS232 (baud, parity, handshake bufor etc) remember to use proper RS cable
