Has anyone written driver for Envirotronics FLX900 Chamber with the Navigator + Controller

[SLee2004]

I am trying to communicate with the Envirotronics FLX900 Navigator + Controller and encountered some difficulty. I get garbled messages back and the documentation isn't helpful. Has anyone written a driver for this controller? And yes, I did check the instrument network and called the manufacturer but not getting anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Hi SumTumWong,

It sounds like the driver has not been written.  You can always try the Request a new driver link on the Instrument Driver Network page.  I hope someone has a set of drivers they can post here for you soon, though.

If anyone is also trying to talk to this chamber, I just wanted to update that I did figure out how to talk to the controller. I was browsing through the manufacturer website and found a newer documentation for their controller (Instrument Manual Navigator+ Programmer/Controller) 3/2006 Rev B. Apparently, the parity for the serial communication is set to ODD, whereas the old manual was set to EVEN. I was able to get only a few remote commands to work, but most do not work as stated in the manual.
