Control Mettler Toledo MS6002TS/00 scale with Labview using USB cable

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm able to send a simple command like Tare or send weight with the VISA test panel, but when I try to write a VISA command in Labview nothing happens. I'm ending the line with \r\n. I'm not getting an error using the VISA write to send the command. I have used this method before using labview to send commands to a Mettler Toledo scale but, I was using a RS 232 cable and I'm now using a USB cable.

Did you select \mode for strng display?

You can do this by right click the string and select that mode.

I did not select the mode. After selecting the mode code I was able to commutate to the scale. Thank you for answering my question.

Hello,

 

Could you share the VI or the list of commands? I have Toledo with LAN as interface and I want to trial it

Mettler Toledo Scales have a set of commands "MT-SICS". You can google MT-SICS to get the list. The commands you can use are dependent on the model of your scale, the MT-SICS manual has the list. I used VISA commands for my code, at the end of the command write "/r/n", and make sure the string is set to code.
