labview & testo toolbox

[Prasun]

Dear Markus,

Thank you very much for your help. I also received the link and downloaded the complete toolbox software.

I don't know the 8pin mini DIN connection details also. I have written TESTO Germany for that. Hopefully I will get positive reply.

What kind of output connector is provided in TESTO 950 which you are using for communication with PC?

With regards,

Prasun

It is also an 8pin mini DIN to RS232 D-Sub9.

Can you tell me the 8 pin mini DIN to RS232 Cable PIN connection? I know I am asking too much but it will be a great help!

Hi,

I'm using a testo 350xl control unit and three testo 454 data loggers connected to it. I would like to acquire data programmatically from all the connected devices.

The t35 gas analyzer example.vi of the testo toolbox works fine, but it lets me to access data of only a device at time. The problem is that the device has to be selected by a pop-up menu that is not from LabVIEW. So I have to make a manual operation each time the method Itcddk.init is called.

Do you know if it is possible to make the device selection in a programmatically way?

Thank you in advance,

Andre

Hi,

I am trying to acquire data using 't350 gas analyser example.vi' I am getting "Instrument not responding" error in testo serial init vi. Attached is the snap of front panel. The engineer from Germany suggested trying changing the device name to match bus address of my instrument e.g testo350-454$025 if the bus address is 25. But changing this name causes 'Invalid device name error".

Can anybody advise me what could be the issue? It seems some people resolved the issues related to toolbox and Labview communication.

Thank you,

Rupesh.

Hi!

Please, take a look at the message on the right of the form "select device" you filled. You can try to go directly to the block diagram to hardwire the string to the init method.

Hi Andre,

Yes I tried to direct wire the device name string constant to ActiveX node where orginal case structure was wired but still receiveing error "Instrument not respoding". Can you send snapspot of block diagram you are using for 'testo serial init'. I guess yours is working so I can compare what am I missing?

Thank you for the post,

Rupesh.

Here it is the snapshot. 

Remember to define the string testo350-454 $029 in  the file comsoft.cat. it should be in the folder c:\program files\common files\testo shared.

How can I open combatants to do this change? Seems like a security catalog.

I noticed in your block diagram, the device name constant has space between testator-454 and $024. Is there particular reason? The VI that came with toolbox had no space in this name when I was looking at all the devices from drop down menu. Just curious.

Thanks again.

Sorry about the spelling mistake.

I wanted to ask 'how can I open comsoft.cat?'.
