Combo box to code

[MikeS81]

Hi treadagon,

i´m so sorry, i forgot to connect the timeout shift register with the timeout input. Please connect it, like shown in the picture. You can change the time in the for loop, now there is 10 connected. I use the timeout event to receive the data from your device, but because of i forgot to connect the value to it, this event will never execute. I use it, so that you can use the reset button while reading the data.

Hope it works now. Mike

It works properly it executes right all the commands but i still do not see anything to the indicators. You think I shall put a delay like in the "Basic Serial read and write.vi"??? Or do you believe is something else wrong?

Hi treadagon,

please use the attached example. Your indicators show only values if you receive the correct value from your device. Check if this value is correct.

I still don't see nothing on the indicatorsand yet I believe that the PC maybe is to fast for the device. So I'm going to start experiment with the "delay before read" time. How can I change this delay? (or general the delays)
.

Hi tredagon,

but now the timeout case will execute, right? You can remove the Wait function or you can connect a new number to it.

I don't know if it works because I have no signs of this. The LED that I experimentaly connected to the output of the "string compare" it never blinks. I'm CERTAIN that labview recognize the ending string because in "Basic Serial Read and Write.vi" I saw the "\02999\03" in the display. So I thought it would be the delay. I saw in the vi you sent that the constant number has the "-1". If I wish to change it I must change it with a negative number?

Hi treadagon,

the "-1" is only at the beginnig, the timeout case will never execute, but in the "start" event i set the timeout to 10msec. All your string constants has the "code display" active, is it correct? If i test your vi on my pc and i press the start button then the timeout case will execute. Can you see if your device react on your start command?

My device it responds to ALL commands. I tested in different pressures in different modes, in cycle mode, it works PERFECTLY. I know it is correct because the cuff has an analog manometer connected so I see that the pressure I put is the actual I've chosen. All the commands have a tick in code display (which means it's active).

The problem is while reading only!
I never never get results! The indicators just stay empty!!

The delay applies AND in the timeout event? Do you think that it may need an additional delay there?

Hi treadagon,

do you get some data back? Do you receive something in the timeout case?

I connected an indicator to the output of the first visa read in the timout event. It shows some expected strings (I think) but they were just blinking in the indicator so I could not see them clearly so I'm not sure if the ending string (\02999\03) was displayed. And I don't see even a blink on the results indicators.
