How to interact with a straightpoint load cell in LabVIEW?

[Mr._Cuddlesworth]

I have a Straight Point Radiolink plus load cell. I need help with creating a VI to gather data from the load cell and to be able to wake and put the cell to sleep. It is connected to my PC via a RAD24 Radio controller that plugs into a USB port. How could I create such a VI?

Hey Mr._Cuddlesworth,

If you open NI MAX, can you see your device underneath the "My System -> Devices and Interfaces" section?

[Mr._Cuddlesworth]

No, it does not show up anywhere.

It doesn't show up even in Windows Device Manager? If it does, what driver is the USB connection using? For it to be seen in MAX, the driver has to be USBTMC, RS232, or a driver you create from scratch with the VISA Wizard. That does not mean you can't use it with LabVIEW. You would use the driver provided by the vendor.

[Mr._Cuddlesworth]

This is all the information I could fin on the drivers. I did find it in device manager.

For LabVIEW and USB, see a great series of articles written by the user Intaris. The first is at http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Nugget-1-of-n-GEtting-started-with-USB-communication-via-VISA/m-p/74...

You'll need a lot more information from the vendor.
