  1. Open an existing or new LabVIEW VI.
  2. Locate the NI-DCPower VIs.
    • (LabVIEW 8.0 or later) From the Functions palette, select Measurement I/O»NI-DCPower.
    • (LabVIEW 7.x) From the Functions palette, select All Functions»Instrument I/O»Instrument Drivers»NI-DCPower.
  3. Select the VIs that you want to use, and drop them on the block diagram to build your application.
