Hi,
I am looking for the Instrument Driver for Fisher Science Traceable Manometer. The manometer has RS232 port and currently only provides GUI software with 8045 Data Acquisition System: https://traceable.com/catalog/product/view/id/3396/s/8045/category/51/
I will appreciate if you can help me on how to use Labview to control the existing GUI or have already developed the driver for this instrument.

This company doesn't document the output format / protocol for the RS232 ... but have you asked them for that information?
Reverse engineering a rs232 protocol to read values usually isn't that hard, but ask first .. saves time 😉
there was a time where portmon from MS could be used to do it.... but I think it's not possible anymore with the more recent OS ....
A close look on the web page give:
so 9600 baud, even parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit seems to be a good start value 😄

Herman, I am looking for the same driver. Did you ever find a solution?
Thanks,

I created one as attached. I found it does not require "write command" on writing.
