You mean IDNet? You're right, there isn't one. That device apparently uses Modbus, so you can use the Modbus library to talk to it.

Your first link points to your hard drive. Unless you want us to hack into your computer, we can't see this.

 

Define "doesn't work". What did you try?

Re: instrument driver

Now I have added the Library. I can see modbus. Here is where I am and stuck. I have connected the TEC-9100 to PC using RS232 connecting to RS485 adapter. I am confused now what to write so the LabVIEW can communicate with this device. I was trying to use VISA Open, Write, Read and Close. I guess I am in the wrong way.

 

Thank you for your help
