Chroma communication

[Damien129]

Hey guys, Im looking for help on communicating with a chroma 61501, I have downloaded the driver from http://www.chromaate.com/drivers/index so what i have is a library for chr61xxx, I have changed my rs232 to 19200 baud rate and have the settings set up ok i believe. I have attached the vi below how do i firstly change it from GPIB to RS232 for when i run the vi i get an error -1073807195 stating :

Possible reason(s):

VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF00A5) The interface type is valid, but the specified interface number is not configured.

Any help much appreciated. the resource is a string would i need to change the init vi?

Which set of drivers did you download?  I see an "IVI" and a "Traditional" version.  The IVI is only good with GPIB.  The VISA can work with GPIB and RS232.  The context help on the wire in your VI tells me you downloaded the IVI version.

The library i downloaded was traditional. version 1.2 Chr61500_Chr61600_LabVIEW_Driver_600V.zip The initialise vi says its GPIB/RS232, so to configure mine to RS232 do i just type COM7 for instance in the string? And what else would i need to configure to communicate to the chroma?thank you.

I have just changed the initialise function and it works correctly now. Apologies
