Hello everyone,
I recently changed the computer (from windows 7 to windows 10) that is communicating with a bunch of instrument, especially one in RS232.
Since I switched computer, I had trouble establishing a communication with that instrument, either through NIMax or via LabVIEW.
More specifically, I have trouble from reading instruction from the port: it work perfectly or not at all from one day to another, for a reason that I cannot understand.
The instructions that I write on the port are always taken into account by the instrument, meaning that the communication is established, but I sometimes can't Read at all instructions from the instrument (leads to timeout).
The port configuration (baud rate, stop bit, parity, buffer size ...) are correct, and I write the instruction in the good way (term char, line feed etc.).
So, I can't figure out why it sometimes work, and why it sometimes does not work:
-Is it linked to this new computer's port configurations ?
-Are there errors stuck in the instrument register ?
More information are probably needed, I am not an expert in the field.
Thanks in advance for your ideas !
Sam
