Driver for Omega UTC-USB

[bcaire]

I recently bought an Omega UTC-USB thermocouple device for a temperature measurement.  The device works fine with the Omega interface, but I need to incorporate the temperature reading into LabView.  Is there a driver for this device, or how do I go about building one?

Thanks.

Find what COM port the device is showing up as, then start with Hyperterminal set to the proper port settings as shown in the Command Reference Manual:

Once you have verified communications, search LabVIEW Examples for Basic Serial Read and Write.

Set up the COM port parameters, write commands terminated with CR or CR and LF and also try to read data.

Thanks AK2DM for pointing me in the correct direction.  I was able to grab some code from the Advanced Serial Read/Write VI and then modify it to fit my needs.  I've attached what I wrote for others to use if desired.
