Labview Drivers Chemyx Syringe Pump

[DevM]

Hi all,

Has anyone developed a Labview driver for interacting with Chemyx Syringe Pumps?

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

   I googled LabVIEW and Chemyx. It says on this product page that all that would be needed are serial commands. Someone could develop a driver but underneath it there would be simple serial commands. A great way to get started with these can be found in the Example Finder. Open up LabVIEW and go to Help » Find Examples... to open the Example Finder and search for Serial. This should definitely get you in the right direction in interfacing with your Chemyx Syring Pump.

Hello,

This is Jeff with Chemyx Inc. (from the pump company) 

I have a very basic Labview VI for RS232 communication verification - starts/stops the system basically  - if you want. 

For something more complete I also have the C++ source code and workspace files for the PC control program that came with the pump.  It was written with LabWindows CVI 8.5.  Both these are free to anyone who needs it. 

Just call the main number and someone can send these to you or just ask for me.

Jef here again

A good number of people are asking for the pump controller C++ source code and VI.  So I just went ahead and posted the files online http://www.chemyx.com/chemyx_program_source_code.zip. 

You have to use this link since its not linked to any of the pages at www.chemyx.com. 

Quick Overview:

The C++ code is the free pump controller program that ships with every syringe pump.  It compiles in LabWindows8.5 (I think also 8.0)and all you need to do is to open up the workspace file (.cws file) and hit run. 

The LabView VI is an auto pump starter/stopper for QC testing.  It sends a start signal every 5 seconds to the COM1 port and is used to test serial connectivity as pumps come off the assembly line and are quality controlled.  Don't know how much use this will be to the people who asked. 

Both these are freeware!!!!  They can be used for/in anything except commercial purposes. 

Best,

Jef

Hello Jeff, 

Do I need CVI to run that program or can I run your C++ code if I have visual studio or a linux C++ compiler. We currently bought a Chemyx pump but I'm having a hard time trying to enter serial commands through Dasylab . Using Dasylab I am only able to enter single command like start or stop and the pump responds to it. But making it to perform commands serially is something i still havent figured it out.  Can you please throw some light on it. 

thanks

Hello Rani,

I looked at the product page and it sounds like the C++ code should work find with Visual Studio. You will have to wait for Jef to confirm that.

Hello Jeff,

Just got Chemyx's OEM Pump, I cann't control the OEM pump with the software which can control Fusion pump. Is it hardware interface/Jumps issue or software command not matching? Could you help on this?

I recommend you send Jeff a private message, since he might not notice this forum post.

Hello Jeff

Would it be possible to send the program C++ source code for pump controller ?  I find the zipped file to be empty.

Thank you very much.

So strange that this thread is mirrored at

How does that work?
