Hello,
I am using an FSA pressure map sensor and want to integrate it into my labVIEW control system. The first step I need to accomplish is having labVIEW recognize the pressure map and read it, then write out a text file. Then, I need to analyze the data from the text file to determine the quality of the sensor. And finally incorporating that into the motor control is the easier part, I think, because I already have an encoder-feedback motor control system written.
Right now I am using the built-in LabVIEW example VI "Advanced Serial Write and Read" and I am told by the manufacturer of the pressure map that I need to use ActiveX. They provide a library that can be seen at this link:

This library can be acessed by LabVIEW because it is found in a .dll file that came with the pressure map software, but I'm not sure how to incorporate that into my labVIEW code. Also, I know that the "Advanced Serial Write and Read" VI requests a COM port and provides the option to write a string and read a string, but I'm not sure what to use from the provided library to make the appropriate connection.
I'm relatively new to LabVIEW and this is a pretty advanced application for my knowledge. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, if there's any information that I need to provide that I'm not providing please let me know.
