Getting Watlow F4 Profile Information

diarmaede — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 15:26:02 GMT

Is there a way to query a Watlow F4 controller to get information such as:

1. What temperature profiles are currently stored

2. What are the details of stored temperature profiles

Thanks!

You should be able to find this out from the F4 controller programmer's manual. This question is device specific and should be addressed by the respective manufacturer and not related to LabVIEW.

On the other hand, if you know the device can do something but you're stuck getting it to work in LabVIEW, then it makes sense to post the question on the LabVIEW board or Instrument Control board.

"On the other hand, if you know the device can do something but you're stuck getting it to work in LabVIEW, then it makes sense to post the question on the LabVIEW board or Instrument Control board."

Given that thousands of LabVIEW programmers use the "Watlow F4.lvlib," and given that this information is obviously available through the device, I thought it appropriate to post the question here.

And, FWIW, I have spent a substantial amount of time researching the Watlow manuals for this information, mostly to avoid the snarky, non-helpful comments that are so common on these forums.
