Communicating with Eurotherm via et24xx driver

I am trying to get a Eurtherm model 2408 integrated with
Labview. I have installed the et24xx package and the latest version of VISA.  I am receiving an error message right off the
bat (1073807339). Any thoughts?

I know what you are talking about now.  If you set up the com port in the server, then the scan will work.  Open the server from iTools, then configure the com port.  Once you select the com port, hit the edit button to set the baud rate.  See attachments.

  • Communication with XRAID via XRAID Admin frustration

    I have an XRAID that properly mounts and works flawlessly from a storage point of view. However, I can't seem to be able to communicate with the device via RAID Admin. I have hard reset the power (unplug for > 1hour) the RAID.
    To start the debug process, I downloaded RAID Admin onto my macbook pro and tried to find the XRAID. It worked perfectly. I can see both ethernet cards. It reports all is well with the device. I am spinning my wheels trying to find out what the difference between the two setups are.
    I tried to manually input the ip addresses of the RAID controller (that I received from my laptop. 169.xxx.xx.xx from both cards) on my xserve to establish the connection with no success.
    My xserve has a DNS without automatic client Bonjour browsing for domain enabled. My network input to my server comes from a comcast cable modem to an apple extreme then to the server.
    Any ideas to further debug are really appreciated.
    Much thanks

    What is the IP address of the computer your are trying to reach the 169.x machines? I'll assume you're talking about 169.254.x.x address - it must also be in the 169.254.x.x IP address range to talk to a network connection.
    Certain IP ranges are set aside as special (169.254.. is self-assigned, 192.168.. is local) and are unroutable from outside that space. If your computer is on a publicly addressable space you will not be able to establish communication with a computer in any of these special non-routable ranges.
    You either need to force a computer into the same space or make (at least) one of the network cards have a publicly reachable IP address via DHCP or whatever method you want.

  • Communication with motor control using RS-232

    I need to use labview to communication with a stepper motor drive using the serial port RS-232. Could someone please get me started I'm not sure if a should use VISA or instrument I/O. And if I use one of those, how would I set it up?

    Hi Phil,
    Outside of LabView, how do you communicate with or control the motor drive?  If you are able to use software like HyperTerminal or Procomm, then using the VISA serial communication tools will be the simple way of implementing your solution.
    Here are some links which may provide clues on how to proceed.  You can also do a search on VISA Serial communication.
    Happy wiring!!

  • Eurotherm et24xx driver question

    Hi there everyone.  I have successfully downloaded the et24xx driver, and connected my eurotherm controller to my COM2 port on my computer, and when I run the Temperature Control and Monitoring example, the setpoint is correctly programmed to the front of the controller, and temperature read.  My question is how is the controller supposed to communicate with a power supply to control the temperature?  I do not see where in the example this information is entered.  For example, I feel like somewhere I need to tell the program that I am sending an analogue signal between 0 and 5 volts to a power supply in order to control the temperature.  I also need to tell the program where this analogue signal leaves the eurotherm control box don't I?  I cannot find where this happens in the example, and also can't see a VI in the VI tree to use.
    I measured voltages of the pins and nothing seemed to be trying to communicate from the eurotherm controller.
    Any help at all is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am not including images of the whole code becasue its' pretty involved with while loops for movement of  stages calculation, imaging etc.
    Here are the basics.The user inputs a schedule of temperature steps, times and PID paramaters (Contained in the loacal variable "Future Steps".  The while loop in the following two images handles  timing  of these steps, and queing of new steps.
    I am using Master /Slave pattern here. The Enqueue Element aave the TimeOut Enum in the second image send the next setpoint to the Eurotherm after the the previous step has timed out.
    Below are images shwoing the Setpoint/PID writes and the Temp and OP polling portions of the code.
    Setpoint comes from Dequeued value that was enqueued in the Timing/sequencing while loop
    Lots of extra stuff in here (graphing functionality, alll T,OP data re written to a binary TDMS file. and stats on each T-step).
    I am sure the pros will have something to say about my use of local  variables and such, but the two while loop master/slave architecture works pretty well.

  • Commands to FTDI virtual COM port via NI VISA interfere with communication with FTDI chip using D2XX drivers

    Hello!  
    I am trying to communicate with a DLP Design module DLP-USB1232H which uses an FTDI chip.  My program uses the D2XX drivers.  It works, but...
    In another program that runs at the same time, I'm communicating with another instrument via a virtual COM port (VCP) that uses an FTDI UART.  In this program, I use the VISA Serial Port functions.  It works, too, but...
    The first program has the capability of listing all the FTDI devices in the system prior to choosing the right one to communicate with.  When the VCP is plugged in, it lists it (FT232R USB UART) along with the DLP-USB1232H and communication with the latter device works.   But as soon as the second program sends a command through the VCP, the first program no longer "sees" any FTDI device.  It stops working.
    I have tried 2 different FTDI VCPs; one a standalone cable and the other built in to the instrument.
    I’m using Windows 7 32-bit.  My programs are both LabVIEW 8.5 executables. 
    Is VISA "taking over" the channel to the DLP-USB1232H?  Does someone who understands NI's implementation of VISA have any ideas on why VISA is doing this?  Or if something else is going on?
    I'm also interested in workaround ideas.  I've tried a "Prolific" VCP, but most drivers don't work and the one that doesn't give an error in Device Manager doesn't communicate with the instrument.  
    Cheers
    Halden
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Halden,
    It really sounds like you have a resource conflict. That occurs when two programs or parts of programs try to use the same device or port at the same time.  Your Get Device Function probably tries to open a session with each port (as you increment the index). When it hits a port which is being used by the other driver, it cannot open the session and stops working? Have you examined the errors returned by each program? The VISA drivers will return an error when the port is in use.  I do not know about your program or drivers, but I would expect some kind of error.  Automatic error handling in LabVIEW will not catch errors from a driver if it does not translate them to LV error clusters. So do not count on automatic error handling, if you use it, to display all possible errors.

    ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and several others). What you describe, sounds like you're trying to convert a file *to* PDF. Did you ever start a trial of Acrobat, perhaps? (Whereas you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF doesn't let you convert files to PDF.)

  • I'm having trouble communicating with a transducer (Keyence LS-3100 laser scan micrometer) via the serial port. It works in Hyperterminal. Any suggestions?

    Its not a simple baud-rate or parity error. If I issue the command to send data (X1) in hyperterminal I start to get data. If I then switch to Labview I still get data. However if I try to issue the send-data command via Labview I get nothing (i.e. I can read from the device, but not write to it).
    I am on a Windows 98 (version 2) PC, running Labview 5.1.1

    Try adding a carraige return to the end of your command.

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:

    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.

  • PROBLEM WITH COPYING ITEMS ONTO MACBOOK AIR VIA FLASH DRIVE

    I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS MACBOOK AIR AND I'M ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MOVING/COPYING ITEMS FROM A FLASH DRIVE ONTO THE MACBOOK. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!! THANK YOU!

    I'm sorry about the caps. I realized that I was typing with my caps lock on, and was too lazy to rewrite this. The thing is that when I try to copy pictures, videos, and music onto my macbook via flash drive, it says it's copying but then when it's finished, the library goes blank. There's no error message with it; my folder goes completely blank.

  • There is a problem communicating with the printer.

    I have a Lexmark Interpret S405. I am using a MBP laptop with WiFi, running 10.5.8. I have a cabled (non-wifi) Linsys router. I am using an Airport Express.
    I was finally able to get the WiFi light on the Lexmark to be static green after reinstalling the Lexmark WiFi setup and reconfiguring my Airport settings so that both the computer and printer see each other.
    In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
    However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
    I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
    I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
    Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
    1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
    2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
    3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
    4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
    I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
    I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
    Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
    Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.
    Message was edited by: Macman17

    I bet this is too late but...
    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner

    Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
    (Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
    About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
    I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
    My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

    I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
    Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
    Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!

    Okay ... checking something else:
    Current user is not an administrator
    Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
    (It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.)

  • How to det if HP printer is communicating to Airport via USB or wireless

    Been using my new iMac and Airport base station for only 1 week. I have the Airport base station connected via a USB cable to an HP all in one 3300 series printer/scanner/fax. The printer has built in wireless capability. However, it is on the old 802.11g/b technology. Representative at the Apple store instructed me to hook up the printer to the base station via the USB port, instead of using a wireless network. Apple store representative mentioned that having one product on the wireless network which communicates using the old g/b format, will slow down all of the other communications on the network (internet, iMac, etc). So how do I determine if the HP printer is communicating with the network via the USB or using the built in wireless protocol??
    One more issue - I am trying to get my old Windows XP based HP PC to communicate with the same printer. I installed a NetGear transmitter (with the 802n technology) on the old PC. The old PC communicates fine to surf the internet. However, printing does not work? The HP printer software is still on the old PC - did not remove it while moving the computer to a different room.
    Help with either issue would be much appreciated.

    If you want to scan then you will need to use the wireless connection.

    Did you connect the printer to the wireless network? It won't generally do this automatically.
    Unplug the USB if you can still print then the printer is connected wirelessly.
