Help with rs485 from a Newport iserver.

Hi
 
Im "green" with rs485. I have 5 process meters that will be connected to a Newport iServer to convert it to a webpage. The question I have is how do I make a vi to display all the meters on a single page? And do I need any special drivers to pull the data from the iServer?
 
Thanks alot

I'm assuming you are using the Newport iServer to connect your rs485 meters to your tcp/ip network.  Is this correct?  If so, you should be able to configure Measurement & Automation Explorer to communicate with the meters so you can use them in LabVIEW.  See the following link for directions on how to do this: How Do I Configure an Instrument to Communicate via TCP/IP in MAX?
