Hello Ali,

I'm afraid I don't really understand your question.

Could you please provide me with which LabVIEW version you are working, and with which hardware?

It would also be helpful to know how things are or should be connected, and what the expected result is.

Thanks

Regards,

I have never used the 6000 Series from adam but in the 4000 series, changing mode was not done while the system was running, it required putting the device in init mode (usually through grounding the init pin) then sending the command to change settings like the channel scale, input vs output or the device address.  Also although the 4000 series was 485 multidrop it was and used addresses, it did not use Modbus but a simple string language in as defined by the manual.  This might be different for the 6000 series, but again I have only experience with the 4000 sereis (4017, 4018, 4050 ....)

I was just wondering how well the ADAM-6060 worked with LV.  I wanted to use it for a control application and was wondering how easy it was to setup and use.  Did you ever figure out how to get it to act as a pulse counter?
