Acquring data and controlling LAKESHORE 330 via Serial Port

Dear List,

 

I am using Lakeshore 330 Autotuning Temperature controller to monitor and control the temperature of a process. I would like to use the serial port of the instrument 

to communicate with LabVIEW. The version of LabVIEW I am running is 8.5. I downloaded the driver from NI driver download page. In the read me file, it is mentioned that I can run the Getting started.VI

to check the connections are right. However, I do not find this vi. I tried to run Lakeshore 330 Application Curve.vi in the example folder and it returned an error VISA read error. I have searched the discussion forum for the LS 330 discussion and came up with few messages. Can anyone give me link to the getting started.vi. I also appreciate a lot, if I can get some information on how to acquire the data using the serial port.

 

Many thanks in advance

Ah. My mistake, it was some mistake in the installation of the driver. Now I can see the Getting started vi. I am able to communicate with the Lakeshore now. 

Thank you for your attention

 

Have a good day.
