Connecting to Scanivalve DSA3217

[SLynch11]

I am trying to connect to a Scanivalve DSA3217 Pressure Scanner.  I have the device connected to an ethernet port and would like to start acquiring pressure measurements.  However, I don't know what LabVIEW code is required to do this.  I know that I need to use TCP/IP connection, I just don't know how to go about doing it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shane

ScaniValve offer LabVIEW driver for this model. You may discuss with its engineer in http://www.scanivalve.com/contact-us/?who=engineer. However, if you wish to develop by yourself, you can refer to http://www.scanivalve.com/services/downloadfile.ashx?file=/media/2120/dsa32v115.pdf. LabVIEW TCP example is available in Help>>Find Examples>>Search with TCP.

Thanks for the advice.  I will contact a representative from Scanivalve and see what they can offer me.  In the mean time I will try to figure it out using the LabVIEW help examples.

Does anyone have already written code to connect to the DSA3217.

It does not appear that National Instruments has third party drivers created for that device.  If you go to www.ni.com/idnet, you can search for all third party drivers created by NI employees.

On that page under "Need Help" you do have the option to request a driver from NI.  Based on the demand for certain drivers, an NI employee might be assigned to create that driver.

I still recommend you get in touch with ScaniValve and see if they have one already created already for you.
