LabView application for Solartron Digital Probes?

How can I get LabView to read a Solartron Digital Probe? Are there any previously writen LabView applications that I could use as an exapmle to base my code?

While I'm not familiar with Solartron Digital Probes, I am guessing (based on the forum) that it has a serial interface. In that case, you will simply need to obtain the serial configuration (baudrate, data bits, handshaking, etc.) and a list of the device command strings, and then create a LV app that initializes a com port on your PC, creates and transmits the appropriate string(s) and then reads the results from the device. There are several examples in LV to help you out, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to post them!

Hi Alan,

I checked with Solartron and they do have LabVIEW VIs for their digital probes. They were kind enough to send 'em to me. Please find 'em attached to this post.

I have NOT tested them.. not even opened them! So, not sure how good/bad they are. For any and all support with these, please contact Solartron directly.

Regards,

Khalid 🙂
