On the web I found that with Labview you can interface many instruments with the serial port. However, few working vis are available. I 've worked on some of them and I post the code. My vis are very simple and implement basic functionalities. I tested all and with my instruments work just fine. If someone use them and add more parts , please share upgrade to the community. I used Labview 8.2.Temperature Controller Digi Sense 89000-15. I found a incomplete vi here : http://forums.lavag.org/Digi-sense-68900-11-Temp-controller-serial-comm-problems-t3636.html ; and I merged with the standard example " Basic Seril Write and Read ". I implemented only the temperature and time reading. The vendor gives detailed information how to controll all the functionalities here http://www.digi-sense.com/instmanuals.htmThe controller is pretty nice, a little expensive but precise and weel documented.Stirrer IKA-Werke power controll visc. The vendor gives all the information for serial com after signature here : http://www.ika.net/owa/ika/signon.country The stirrer is expensive but definitly a high quality tool. I read many labs use it with labview however I haven't found any driver. My vi implements the reading of torque and speed. It also give and example of remote control and speed setting. I haven't implemented any ramp controll. It would be nice to make a full controll of the stirrer with labview.pH meter Mettler Seven Easy. Manual available after signature here :http://us.mt.com/home. You can only read data but it is enough you set the right setting to the com port. Very easy, very nice.RegardsGianmarco

Instrument Control (GPIB, Serial, VISA, IVI)

Guoguang,

Did you figure out how to control the digi-sense temperature controller?

I also want to add a function to record the time and temperature. Does your VI do this?

Thanks!
