Hi,
I'm trying to send simple ASCII strings to a Votsch oven.
I can use hyperterm to send a string, and I get back the correct string, as I would expect.
Using the TCP read/write functions in LabVIEW I can't get the same results. My VI goes TCP <open connection> <write> <read> <close connection>.
It runs without errors when I read 0 bytes but anything else and I get a timeout error 56 even for a 2 minute timeout... This happens for all modes.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Many thanks

Could you post your TCP LabVIEW code? It would be nice to reference it to get a more specific fix.
If your question is just a TCP LabVIEW issue, then check out this white paper for information on using the functions in LabVIEW.

Thanks for the reply.
I was being thick, didnt put a termination character so the oven never sent a strong back, I managed it by holding Alt and pressing 0,1,3 to type a carriage return instead of literally typing "<CR>".
I'm now having the problem that I can send command strings and read nominal and real data from the oven, but I can't set the nominal values. It doesnt work in hyperterm either so I dont think its a LabVIEW problem really.
Thanks anyway
