Hi all,
I am trying to create subvi's that will allow communication between a computer and a MS260i spectrometer. This is an old spectrometer, and can only be interfaced via GPIB or RS232. I have chosen to use a GPIB-USB-HS adapter to connect it to the computer. The following settings in NI-MAX allow me to easily send commands to the spectrometer when using the NI-488.2 communicator. I have also attached an image of a successful wavelength query.
However, I am unable to make a subVI with the same settings. For instance, the following VI
returns the following error
Is there something I am forgetting? I also noticed that even though I saved the GPIB interface properties, these do not come up by default when using the NI-488.2 Communicator. Indeed, I have to manually configure the EOS settings each time I reopen the tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
