Using a lantronix uds2100 to read out a Granville-Philips 350 Gauge Controller

[labviewinlab]

Hello,

I hope I choose the right board for my problem.

I try to read out the pressure of a vacuum which will messure by a Granville-Philips 350 Gauge Controller. As an Adapter (serial to ethernet) I should use the Lantronix UDS2100.

For the first step, there should be a direct connection between this adapter and a laptop to read out the pressure data.

I don't have a lot experience with Labview and know I have a few problems I can't solve.

(1) I installed the DeviceInstaller for the UDS. The software show the device. When I choose the device there's an Error:

"Communications error. The configuration was not received from the device.".

After this the Device Info shows an Error too (see screenshort).

I tried to upgrade the Firmeware, but it doesn't work.

(2) The UDS is not show in de DeviceManager of Windows.

(3) I tried to add the device into MAX as a VISA TCP/IP. The device won't found. When I use the ip-adress it doesn't work too. (see NIMAX screenshort).

Maybe my problemes are more based on the UDS2100 than on NI, but I hope there is someone that can help me.

It is about the connecting wire that was wrong. Sometimes you need to solder, sometimes you need software only.

Did you fix the Problem?
I also need to connect the Granville-Phillips 350 Gauge Controller with the Pc using the UDS2100.
I looked at the other thread, but in my case the controller is directly connected to teh UDS2100 via a 9 pin cable, so there is no adapter between the Ion Gauge and the UDS which would change the signal.
