iotech multiscan

Has anyone worked with an IOTech Multiscan device in LV?
 
Any words of wisdom or hints or insight would be very helpful.
 
I do not know the exact model or any additional info other than I will be seeing one tomorow.
 
Thank you!

Just in case some poor soul attempts to use an IOTech Multi-Scan 1200 sometime in the future....

This project turned into a nightmare. I will summarize some of my findings just to save you some headaches.

1) The example was written for LV 4.1 and needed updated to VISA.

2) Cross-linking of VI between the example and VI.lib.

3) Example only works fro less than 48 channels after that the Multi-Scan will never assert the "Scan" bit indicating readings are waiting in the buffer.

4) Wait 5 seconds after doing a reset.

5) Wait 1 second after configuring a channel.

6) Sample rate is limited by channel count!

Hopefully you will not be bit by any of the above.
