Controlling MS40 series leak detector (by VIC)

Solved!
Go to solution

Any one successfully setup communications with this device?  I seem to be able to send it commands, but I cannot decode the response it is returning to me.  It doesn't seem to be in the format they specify on the data sheet.  Plus I am getting framing errors when I try to read the data back.

Can you attach the VI and data sheet ?

I got it.  The datasheet lied.  The parity is "none".  However, the data stream is different depending on what version software the leak tester is running.  I see no way to determine this though.  Anyone know of a way?  Packet ']' seems to maybe have this, but mine returns zeros in the FLASH and EEPROM rev fields.
