Hello Everyone:
I am trying to control a Keithley 2602 Sourcemeter using LabVIEW v.8.2, however I am having trouble getting them to communicate. I am fairly new at LabVIEW and have not found the user manuals to be of much help since they specify that the process for this step is different depending on the equipment you are trying to connect to.
I have the visa updated and install the driver in the labview folder. I first using GPIB to communicate with Keithley which run great! But I have a chassis without GPIB port and I need to use RS232 to achieve that.
So basically I am using straight through RS232 direct connect to NI but did not work,and I can't find the corresponding port in NI-Max. So I tried using RS232-USB then finally see the port shows.
but still, I have communication error. Please give me some advises. Appreciated it. ( I confige the Keithley communication method to match the setting in PC, plus I use the right port to interface)
