I am technician that adopted a brand new system without any support from colleagues as no one has any knowledge of the equipment and software.
That being said, I'm trying to set up a bunch of hardware and having trouble communicating via RS232 with our Ohaus Navigator scales. I am running the PXI chassis with PXI-8430/8 and PXI-8430/16 modules. I have all the settings set alike across all equipment and have created a custom cable connecting the two serial cables as the pin outs differ. When I enter into VISA Test Panel and try to send commands the scale doesn't register anything and I get a timeout error. All I'm trying to do at this point is to verify connectivity between the PXI chassis and corresponding modules with the scales.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
