Driver needed for Adam Equipment balance

[Jom]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has or can develope driver for Adam Equipment balance model AFP-L&LC SERIES.

The software we are using is: Labview software version 8.2

Please contact me at: v.w@rabeco.se

Looking at the user manual of one of the scales (not sure what model you are using) you will need to use the serial VI's in Instrument I/O, and read the values that come in.  THe format is 1254.07 g<CR><LF>

<CR> = carriage return, <LF> = line feed.

You can then parse this using the string vis to get your required data.

Hi Kenny,

Sorry but I'm totally new at this. Would it be possible to go a bit more step by step? What do I do with teh serial I/O?

I attached a screen shot of a vi I made real quick.

Basically you are going to configure your serial port using the Configure Port vi in Instrument I/O> Serial, check to see if there are any bytes at the port, if there are, read the bytes, and then parse the sting using the MAtch pattern and string to number conversion.

You will have to decide how you want to save the data and what to do with the data. 

Good Luck

Hi Kenny,

Thank you for all your help. I think we can go from there.

By the way, have you saved that sample? If so, would you mind sending it to v.w@rabeco.se?

Thank you.
