Hi. I'M progressing with the communication with my ballbar, but I still have problems. The information I got from Renishaw, the ballbar company, is that when I send an "S", I get bytes in return, and when I send an "E", it stops. In MAX, I send the "S" (*S?\n), then the "E" (*E?\n) in Basic I/O. When I read the bytes that passed during the time between "S" and "E" (about 2000 bytes), I read what I was expecting. After having spoken with technical support, I've tried the example "LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi" and it works one time over ten!?! And there is no difference even if I write in "Normal Display" or in "\Code Display". I send the "S", and one time over ten I got an answer, and the others I get a TimeOut error. It is the same if I send
*IDN?\n, and sending the "E" before sending "S" doesn't make any difference. I know I am a bit turning around with my questions, but if anyone would have an idea, I'll appreciate it.
