Solved!
Go to solution

Dear community,

 

I would like to ask some help.

I am try to connect the Keithely 6430 thought RS232 port. 

My first step was check connection. I use for that Putty. The command *IDN? return KEITHLEY INSTRUMENTS INC.,MODEL 6430,0924216,C24 Feb 14 2002 11:59:45/A02 /D/

I installed drivers for Keithely 6430 from NI catalog. According the description it is for GPIB connection. So I have started to modify them for RS232 connection. First problem is VISA Read error -1073807339.

I got it in the Initialize block. 

I opened block schem, check that error come from VISA Read block .  

 

Next step was check connection by MAX. The Configuration of the device COM port as same as in Windows. In Visa test panel  I send command *IDN? and press Read? the result is on screenshort.

I find solution for this problem. 

Because drive prepare for GPIB conection, it does not take into account termination charaters.

I added before "write buffer" input a combination of command and "Line Feed Constant" (LF is selected in TERMINATOR). See screenshort.

I think it will help with other VI from this NI driver.
