Help using et24xx driver (modbus, serial, visa)

Hi there everyone.  I have successfully downloaded the et24xx driver, and connected my eurotherm controller to my COM2 port on my computer, and when I run the Temperature Control and Monitoring example, the setpoint is correctly programmed to the front of the controller, and temperature read.  My question is how is the controller supposed to communicate with a power supply to control the temperature?  I do not see where in the example this information is entered.  For example, I feel like somewhere I need to tell the program that I am sending an analogue signal between 0 and 5 volts to a power supply in order to control the temperature.  I also need to tell the program where this analogue signal leaves the eurotherm control box don't I?  I cannot find where this happens in the example, and also can't see a VI in the VI tree to use.

I measured voltages of the pins and nothing seemed to be trying to communicate from the eurotherm controller.

 

Any help at all is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Please be patient. These forums are primarily made up of volunteers who, like me, have full-time jobs and can't answer questions immediately.
