How to Mix Class (green) and Specific (blue) IVI Driver Calls in LabVIEW

I am trying to mix class and specific driver calls within LabVIEW. Is this possible or will I likely encounter errors?

I have already downloaded the IVI specific driver from the following link:

Agilent Technologies hp34401a Meter - IVI Specific Driver

And I received the IVI class drivers when I installed the IVI Compliance Package.

I am coding in LabVIEW and am just curious if I can mix the class VIs (green) with the specific VIs (blue). Does anyone have any experience with this?

Solution

Watch the following Video on Youtube. You may absolutely mix calls. However, be aware that mixing driver calls will limit the ability to interchange instruments. This feature is normally possible when coding with class driver calls only. If you do not need to use class driver calls, then you may want to consider using the LabVIEW plug and play (project style) version of the driver from www.ni.com/idnet.
