Hello,

 

Did you try to communicate with the instrument through VISA Interactive? If you try running the examples do you see an error?

To ensure reliable operation of the communications link, (without data corruption due to noise or line reflections) the connections between the controller should be made using a twisted pair of wires inside a screened cable with the connections terminated with resistors. Also, the use of a Eurotherm KD485 converter to connect the EIA-485 link into a standard EIA-232 computer port might help simplify your wiring.
