USB Human Interface Device (HID) in LabVIEW

Question

How do you write/read to/from an HID USB device in LabVIEW? Note that this
is not a mouse or keyboard but does use the standard Windows XP HID driver.

Answer 1

Matt,
Neither of the bellow worked. I believe this answer's why:

The device registers as an HID and the above link says that I would have to
change firmware to fix the problem. That's not going to happen because the
hardware is made by another Mfg.
Any other ideas for communication to my USB/HID device? All I need to do is
write and read data from it. The device driver shows an hid.dll. I wonder
if I could call the DLL to accomplish what I need to do. The problem is
that I don't know where to find documentation to setup the DLL call.
