Balance, cRIO 9073 and NI-9870

[damos]

Hello!

I want to receive weights from KERN balance (uses RS-232 protocol) connected to module NI-9870 on a cRIO 9073. Is necessary to create an instrument driver project for this balance or can I capture data continuously without driver?

I need some references about how continue.

Thank you!!

Nobody know it?

a driver is a small piece of software (mostly written in LabVIEW) that handles the low level details of communicating.

So for serial it handles the reading and interpreting the values of the balance and the writing of a command to get a value.

So what commands do you have to write and in which format comes the answer.
