How do I create labview program for Mass flow controller

[amazed]

Just beginning to communicate with mf1 now using LV7.  Am using process usb port, just treat as serial comm.   

Refer to pg 74 in manual for commands.  Example: send @01F[cr]  gives @-CFdddddddd[cr]  in sccm.  

Below is graph of performance.

I'm attempting to get into the other usb(service) port now to eliminate softstart ramp currently set for 20 sec.

Will also add that solution when successful. 

>note set baud = 115200 8bit no parity, 1 stop, no handshake

good luck

For the driver needed to access MF1 setup usb port.

from manual-pg 28   Did not see usbser.sys in link above so will attach.

For the CDC mode “usbser.sys” has to be installed on the Windows PC. It is included on
the Windows installation CD. For the installation of the MF1 the file 'mkscdc.inf' is required,
which is included on the CD delivered with the MFC.

Greetings,

I have been trying to update the Minipuls3 .llb from Doctor's Roth website. Could you please be so kind as to indicate me how you achieved this. thank you for your time

In case somebody stumples upon an old MF1 and wants to integrate them in their LV measurements software or so, here is a very basic VI for communicating with the MF1. Install all required drivers, select the right COM port and type in the correct adress, choose your command and optionally a value and run the VI.  

Best of success!

The curse of bytes at port continues. Somewhere I hear Crossrulz cry out - "STILL NOT ENOUGH EXCLAMATION POINTS!"

Back on topic, configure your port to use termination character 13 <CR> and visa read to read more data than you ever expect to see to make sure you are reading a full message.

You can also get rid of the frame and wait now. Yay!

Great, thanks for your tip!

Hello!

Do you have any tips on how to create a labVIEW program using Brooks MFC and ADAM 4000 modules?

There's a DLL and a video on the subject from Brooks here:  Brooks LabVIEW™ DLL | Brooks Instrument

Other than that, you would have to provide much more detail about your application.  I would start a new thread though. 😉

I saw the video from Brooks but in contrast with what I want to do, they use the NI DAQ and not ADAM modules. However, as you recommended I have already started a new thread. Would you be able to assist me?
