Hi,

 

I'm trying to get the real-time data from a Davis weather station. It doesn't show up as a DAQ device in NI MAX. I changed the direct USB connection to USB connection that can simulate COM port. It is shown as CP210x USB to UART in the device manager. I installed the driver from Silicon Labs. The problem is this device didn't show up in the device in NI MAX. When I used the VISA protocol. it can be configured and wrote but not be read or give any response. I tried with VISA driver wizard, got stuck in step 2 because I don't know where I can get the certificate.
