Hey guys,
so I have this very old D/A converter that is connected to an insdutrial food dryer. It runs over serial (using a USB-serial converter to make it run on my PC). Now using the basic read write I get an output, namely 'An=xxxx' where n is a number 1 through 16 and xxxx a four-digit number. I actually know there are 8 input channels and 8 output channels. I also keep getting certain hex strings at the beginning of my read output but no idea what they do.
The problem is, the company who made this hardawre no longer exists and I have no idea how to control this. My question is fist, is there anyway to separate the output into 16 different channels? And ist there a way to find out which commands work on this thing?
Name of the hardware is MIDAS, by DMP AG, a swiss company. Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Pic related, it's the output.
Thanks!
