GeneralProgram for testing control cabinet Pin

Hello to everybody!
My task is to write program for testing a control cabinet, if it was built and wired correctly. Inside the cabinet is PLC (industrial controller, for example, Mitsubishi FX3u).The program itself supposed to run on a laptop with Windows OS. The laptop is connected to PLC programming input through USB port.
During the test, some action will be advised on screen, for example: "Connect +24V to terminal 233". Then the corresponding input of PLC has to be checked and evaluated. If it is high, signal and message "OK" to be created. If not-"Error" signal generated. After finishing test all signals are to be saved into a text file for documentation.
Questions.
1. What should I start with? Which software package is better? Visual Studio? Version?
2. Which language is better: C++,C#, VB or..? Personally, I prefer C#, but before this language appeared, many solutions were published.
3. Which drivers, ActiveX or something else what is needed for communication can be used? Where to get them?

Thank You in advance, Wal
