Hello everyone,
my name is Carl and I have a problem communicating with a Mass Flow Controller. Before developing a more advanced program I wanted to check the communication and how this works ( I'm new to LabView, only had Matlab and Scala so far ).
As my simple VI is not working I checked if a very simple RS232 communication tool would work (Termite 3.2). It does with the following settings: (IMG_1868)
Very important was the Append CR setting. Then I tried to adapt the settings to my VI. But somehow I think I got the Append CR setting wrong. It is a termination char setting and 13 is the decimal corresponding to carriage return according to different tables I've found in the internet.
My VI is sending a text command and reading the answer every second. The LED shows if there is something read.
As the communication is working with the termite tool it has to be a problem with my VI and the VISA settings.
Thank you very much for you help!
Carl
