NiVisa with P849 Protocol

[Micho]

I've implemented option #1 that Dennis suggested. It's working like a charm. This may have been the obvious solution but it's the first time I've had to communicate thru serial (Spoiled with GPIB 488.2) ... now I know.

Thanks!

Hi, Im practically new at using Ni Visa and I have to program somwthing using the P849 Protocol. Can anyone teach me how? I  know the protocol needs the ENQ and ACK but how can we use NiVisa to insert it. Your help would very much appreciated.

Hi Sarah,

I would recommend starting with the "NI-VISA Programmer Reference Manual"

http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370132c.pdf

This and community examples and starting with the NI VISA tutorial:

http://www.ni.com/tutorial/3511/en/

Start with these and play around with VISA in LabVIEW and please come back with specific questions that you don't understand!
