Hi there,
I have a Sorensen/Ametek XG 300-5 programmable power supply and I am trying to control the power supply using labview (V.2013). I connected the power supply to the computer via USB cable and followed all instructions in the manual to configure the USB port (http://www.programmablepower.com/dc-power-supply/downloads/XG_R850-1500-1700_Operation-Manual_M370430-01-rvG.pdf). It seens that the port simulates a COMM communication trough the USB slot. After installation, it appears the power source has a communication with the computer when we plugged the USB cable (some green light turned on in the front painel of the power source and the USB COMM was detected as COMM10).
However, after following all instruction in the manual to install the Labview driver (First IVI-C driver and then the XG Labview Driver V1.0.2 - Windows 32 bit for Labview 2013), I was not able to see the power source in Instruments Control inside LabView.
Using the “add instruments”, Labview found an instrument but did not recognize it as the Ametek power source.
I also tried to use some runtime programs that came with the drivers installation, but an error of instrument not detected ou not connected appeared.
Can anyone give me some help???
