Using the lock in driver SR830

[Rafael1234]

Hello, dears.

I am having trouble using the 830 amplifier driver to communicate with the computer. I am using the 25 pin RS232 serial port in the Lock in and on the computer. I need to make the communication between the two. Note The labview recognizes the amplifier. I tried using the 830 and 850 driver, but neither two worked. Could someone tell me how to make them work?

That's not much to go on to allow anyone to help you.

- What errors do you get?

- What have you tried to resolve those errors?

Make sure your serial cable is straight through and not a cross over cable.  

Make sure the lockin is properly setup for communications.  i.e. read the manual on controlling it with serial cable.
