Reading data from URG-04LX-UG01

[AntonEkman]

Hi.

I'm curently trying to create a vi that reads the data from a URG-04LX LIDAR laser. When I try to connect to the device through LabVIEW I can't read anything from it, if I use the Basic serial write and read example vi all I get is nothing or if I have the write function on I get the write section in the read section.

I'm using LabVIEW 2012 for Mac, have anyone tried to do this before or know how to fix this? I can find the device in the VISA configuration program and in the dropdown menu in the vi but as I said can't read from it.

Hi Anton,

Have you seen this page:

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-32172

It presents a specific example of how you can interface with your laser. It should give you some pointers/ideas on how to implement the VISA programming.
