optoNCDT

[jmlew89]

Hi,

I have bought a new device optoNCDT 2300 sensor. Below link is the datasheet for it.

http://www.micro-epsilon.com/download/manuals/man--optoNCDT-2300--en.pdf

I have intention to control it using LabVIEW interface through ETHERNET.

The device already set to fixed IP: 169.254.168.150

I have use windows cmd prompt to send to ping to device and it is fine.

And I able to communicate to the device using HyperTerminal software.

However, when I trying to create new VISA TCP/IP Resources under My System > Devices and Interfaces > Network Devices in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), it failed to do so and show the error code: VISA error code 0xBFFF0011.

Is that means the device are not supported by LabVIEW software?

If you want to use VISA try to give a look here:

and here

Your device should be set as "Raw Socket".

Moreover: I'd try to code directly in Labview there's no need to add the device in MAX.

As an alternative to VISA you can use the TCP VIs shipped with Labview.

Give a look to the examples (search for TCP/IP in Example Finder).

Regards,
