Can't use PACE 5000 drivers

[Hyouryû]

Hi.

I'm trying to use labview to control my GE PACE 5000 using the drivers given there. But i can't even run the exemples. All i get is timeout errors or insufficient locations.

I plugged it with USB and installed VISA beforehand.

I'm new to labview, so i fear i'm missing something really basic but important.

Thanks for the help 🙂

Update : i if use USB B instead of USB A, Windows recognises it but doesn't assign it to any COMPORT, so i can't use it with the VI examples.

Your "Insufficient Location" error is due to having LPT1 in your VISA resource name.  Computers just don't have parallel printer ports anymore.

Timeout errors are usually caused by not sending a correct command.  Possibly failing to send a termination character on your VISA Write command.  But that is just a guess in your case since you didn't include any VI so we can see what your program is actually trying to do.

Actually I included the link for the files. But i finally managed to make it work with the RS232 port. But thanks for the help 🙂
