Commands in Labview for communicating with Xantrex XTR 300-2.8

[ShaneDonn]

Hi,

I had the same problem. The probelm I had was the NI VISA baud rate was set to 9600 & the Power Supply was using 19200.

Go to National Instruments/Measurement & Automation.

Under My System go to Serial & Parallel.

Select the COM Port that the power supply is connected to.

Select Port Setting tab. Change the Baud Rate to that set on the power supply, i think the default is 19200.

You should be then able to validate the connection using the "Validate" tab in port settings.

Regards,

Don1

That is not, imo, the best way to configure communication to an instrument. Just like someone can go into device manage and change a com port setting, someone can do the same with the setting in MAX. Much more robust to configure the serial port in the code you are using.
