burster 9163

[rczone]

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone knows how to measure values from a burster 9163 using labview 8.2.

I have tried to find samples but I wasn't lucky.

Thanks

Will this thread help you? Post back.

Hi,

I have tried to  read the values using "Visa" but it is not working. It allways says that an error ocurred.

I am attaching the error and the Vi.

Why do I Receive Timeout Error -1073807339 on VISA Read or Write?

Error -1073807339 When Using VISA Read or VISA Write in a Serial VI

Hi,

I did like it tells in that link, however it reads zero bytes.

I attached the picture.

Best regards,

see this

Also why have you used such a huge delay?

[RavensFan]

Have you tried using something like Hyperterminal to see if you get data coming in that way?

Are you sure about your baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity parity setting?

Are you sure you are using the right kind of table, whether it is a straight through or a null modem?

Is any kind of hardware handshaking required?

Do you need to send any command to it to initialize communication?

[smercurio_fc]

The serial port initialization should not be in a case structure. Why would you ever run the VI without configuring the serial port first?

There are numeous instrument drivers for Burster devices in IDNET.  My suggestion is to find a driver for an instrument that most closely matches yours and see if you can modify the code. You may also want to consider getting their "DigiVision" software. If it communicates over the serial port then you could use something like PortMon to see what commands are being sent.

thanks.

the huge delay was only to see if with more time it could read...

With the Digivision software  it works prefectly.  And from there the baud rate, data bits,..., is given.
