The problem I'm facing is as follows: I am trying to integrate a device into my LabView program. From the guides I could find on the NI site most of it mentioned going to NI MAX first, and then work from them down. My device is an RS232 port, so I have it connected through a USB converter, and I know I am looking at the right port (COM6) from looking at the 'Manage Devices' part on Control Panel.
All the Serial Setting are set up correctly as I can tell (you will find attached the User Manual) , and my configuration also. I attempted to test the commands it gave me on the Input/Output section but constantly came up with the error "VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed." I initially suspected I was entering commands incorrectly, as I find the instructions in the manual confusing, especially when compared to the stuff other users have posted about commands ("\r" and "\n" rather than what I am being told to write, though I accept that mine may not be the literal characters). I also change the timeout .. In vain
I also connected with MAX.. I am also getting the same error timeout left...
So I switched to control my instrument with the usb port (my device has also a usb port.. but it was asked that I use the serial one which explain my first try) everything now is working correctly.. No error but I am always getting this answer '01 whatever the request I am sending
Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks
