to control SC10 and SH05 with VISA serial

[woong93]

Hi,

I am having a problem of communicating with the hardware.

I trying to control shutter controller(SC10, thorlab) and shutter(SH05/M, thorlab) by Labview.

I partly succeeded in communicating between Labview and SC10(with VISA serial function), but I don’t know how to open/shut the SH05.

The node of SC10 has four inputs, like an attached jpg file. How can I apply it?

You should ask ThorLabs for the documentation for their APIs. Once you have that, if you still have trouble with your code then POST THE CODE (Not a picture of it!) and perhaps someone can help.

There's also a download site for the SC10 shutter controller that mentions LabVIEW drivers.  https://www.thorlabs.com/software_pages/ViewSoftwarePage.cfm?Code=SC10

There's probably similar for the SC5, I'll let you look.

The SH05/m manual in Chapter 3 mentions that all control of the SH05 should be via the SC10 using the 6-pin port.  If you read the SC10 manual, section 4.3 & 4.4 gets into the connections and remote control of the instrument.  Try using a simpler VISA interface by using this snippet and feed the VISA resource name with the VISA Configure Serial Port vi.  Setup the port configuration as specified in the manual.
