To communicate with the power supply, use the program, National 
Instruments Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI MAX). 
You Can download the program from http://www.ni.com. 
 
Important:  This  section  uses  the  National  Instruments™  MAX  program  to 
communicate  with  the  XG.  This  is  for  demonstration  purposes  only.  Any 
software that is capable of addressing a serial device and sending and receiving 
text could be used in its place. 
 
 
 
Boot up NI MAX and click the Serial & Parallel section. You 
should be able to see the port # from which you referenced the 
Device Manager earlier. Verify the settings are the same as above 
and click Open VISA Test Panel.
