I'm trying to connect Chroma 63205 electronic load to LabVIEW. I use an RS232 cable connected with a Serial-to-USB converter to connect the load's RS232 port to the laptop's USB port. The problem is that LabVIEW doesn't seem to see the load. The load doesn't appear under "Connected Instruments" list in NI Instrument Driver Finder. When I click "Scan for Instruments," the LCD on the load changes to say REMOTE MODE, indicating that it received a command.
Serial? I have not seen that work. I've only seen the instruments show up under a GPIB connection.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines "Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God" - 2 Corinthians 3:5
Because there are so many possibilities for a serial connection, no attempt is made to find serial instruments. As long as the com port is listed in MAX, you are good to go to debug the connection.
