serial programming with 3rd party power supply

[programmindragon]

How do I program labVIEW to communicate with a third party power supply? I am running a test that needs to communicate with this instrument. Its a bk precision 1696 connected by a serial port. I want to tell this instrument to send a 12v signal to the product being tested for a certain amount of time. I really appreciate any help with this.

I took a look at the manual for the B&K Precision 1696 Power Supply in hopes of finding some basic RS-232 commands, but unfortunately, none are listed. Have you contacted B&K to see if that information is available to the public? If you have run into a dead end there, if no one else responds to this thread with a driver or other help, I would recommend that you submit a driver request to NI from the Instrument Driver Network.

Good luck!

I really appreciate your help but I had the same result with their website. I was finally able to get help with technical support and they sent a copy of the rs232 commands (which are not in the manual, nor on the website). If anyone else runs into this problem with this company, I have decided to post the commands.
