Labview on Linux not recognizing my serial USB device

Hi

 

I'm new to LabView.

 

I have installed it on Scientific Linux 6, including NI-VISA. I have an external device which I have configured via visaconf.

 

The external device comes with drivers that are installed and with a testing program. When I open the testing program, I assume I have to select my device under VISA. But there is no device listed there. Is there anything I need to do to select my device?

 

Thanks!

Oh, I should also mention that I run everything as root, at least for the time being, to not run into any permission issues.

Can any other Linux program see the port? Are you sure you have the right drivers installed?

Well, I see it under /dev/ttyUSB0 or when I type lsusb. Not sure how to communicate with it otherwise. I'm as sure to have the right drivers installed as I'm sure that the manufacturer pointed me to the right drivers...

Have you actually tried accessing the port? It might not be visible for selection, but still be usable.

What do you mean by "accessing the port"?

Read from it, write to it. Use it.

Yes, I can communicate with it with Python.
