Hello all,
I'm trying my hand at creating a control vi for a SHIMPO DT-209X tachometer. The lastest software driver works for Windows XP and I am trying to control it with a modern OS.
I went through the USB Instrument Control Tutorial (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en/) and NI-MAX is recognizing the device. When I open the VISA Test Panel and got to Input/Output, I can write to the device and get a return count. When I try to read or query, however, I get a Hex 0xBFFF0015 errorthat says the timeout expired before the opration was completed.
I tried a simple VI that had a VISA OPEN, VISA WRITE, VISA READ but I get the same error in VISA READ as well as a 1073807339 error code. When I try to run the vi two more times, I begin to get an error in VISA WRITE.
I tried the corresponding help page (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/874B379E24C0A0D686256FCF007A6EA0) for the error code but none of the suggestions have been able to solve the problem. I tried a bunch of other fixes including a propety node that could tell me more about the device connection but have not found anything helpful.
I'm currently out of ideas and could really use some help on what the problem could be. I am attaching my .vi and a screenshot of all the parameters I've gotten out of the property node.
Would really appreciate any advice you can provide.
Thanks,
Yusif
