Hello giladd,

 

I do not know of an example specifically for the QPT-90 but do know of examples for serial devices. The article explains methods of controlling serial devices.

I also recommend trying one of the LabVIEW on-board examples. LabVIEW 2013 has an example VI called SimpleSerial.vi that would be a good way to test your device, and I'm sure other versions have a similar example. The example can be found by going to LabVIEW > Find Examples > Hardware I/O > Serial.

Hi Gilad, 

I haven't found any VI's/Driver to use with the QPT-90 of Moog.

If I were you I would start in getting the User manual of the device that also include the Serial Commands.

See here http://www.moogs3.com/contact-us/international/ who to contact.

 

Please send me the manual and the list of commands, I will help you to connect to the device using the VISA driver.
