How do you turn off the relay for a DT80?

[schwalbs]

Hello, I am a complete Labview newbie.  I am currently taking data from a DT80, which from my understanding is interpreted as a TCP.  My question is: is there a way to turn off the relay from Labview via some switch?  Even after the data run is stopped, it continues to scan as evidenced by a really annoying clicking sound that turns on when I start the code for the first time and doesn't turn off until I turn the machine itself off.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

This sounds more like a question for the manufacturer.  Did you get LabVIEW drivers to use?

Hi schwalbs,

before you call the manufacturer of this "DT80" (is it a bike from Yamaha?) you should read it's manual!

Most often questions on remote control of devices are answered in the (programming) manual…

Thank you both for your responses.  I have read the manual and while it is mentioned that Labview can be used, there are no explicit commands laid out to stop the relay.  I will try contacting the manufacturer though, I was just curious if anyone on here had encountered a similiar situation.

Does the manual have ANY kinds of commands?

[schwalbs]

From what I understand, it has a lot of commands but none specifically relating to the operation of the relay except to tell it when to take data and what kind.  The attached link is to the manual.

Look at page 170 to see how to access the relay via modbus.

Looking at page 196, it looks like 1RELAY=0 or 1 RELAY=1 are the commands to turn it off and on.

Thank you very much!  I must have completely missed that section.

It's a big manual.  That probably isn't even the best section to describe it.  I just kept searching for the word "relay" until I found some pages that gave some clue as to how to acess it.
