Communication problem between measurement acquisition USB device (Non NI) and Labview

[Pascal_FALLA]

Hello,

I’m working on an instrumented motorcycle with an acquisition under Labview.
But I’m having trouble with one of the instruments, it’s an inertial power plant equipped with a GPS.
The brand is XSENS type is mti-G-710. For communication, it is equipped with a USB socket.
The instrument is well recognized on the WINDOWS device driver, all drivers have been installed.
I manage to obtain measurement acquisitions via the manufacturer’s software.
But the instrument is invisible under Labview. I even found a Labview project exactly matching this instrument.
But the problem does not come from VI: Under NI Max, the instrument is not recognized.
But the VI crashes in the OPEN VISA block, because no physical input is present, I tested all the COM and ASRLXX::INSTR ports....
Have you ever encountered this kind of problem?
I’m in the middle of a solution.

Thank you for your help

Pascal

While this instrument does list an API that can be used, it does not list any sort of VISA (SCPI) compatibility.  I was unable to find any commands in the manual.  The only thing that I did find in section 6.4.1 of the manual, was to avoid connecting the USB and serial simultaneously.

Hello Pascal,

Depending on the version of your hardware and LabVIEW, you could manage to use the drivers proposed on this website:

By the way, have you seen this NI page?

You might want to install a different version of VISA and/or to try first communicating with your device using the VISA Test Panel:
