How can I set %Weight property in TEDS

[ssherian]

Hi

I am trying to set the weight of a TEDS device I have connected to USB-4431 device.  I can access all the properties of Template 25 except the %Weight property.  it is not listed in the text ring.  How can I set this property and would it work if I just add it to the list?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi ssherian,

Are you using the TEDS_Edit Property VI (Functions » Measurement I/O » TEDS » Advanced TEDS » Edit TEDS Information » Edit Property)? Also, some properties are defined as constants depending on which interface standard your device is using so they cannot be changed. This may be something you want to look into, as well.

Yes that is the property I am using exactly.  I have other TEDS programmers that are not using NI hardware but they are using LabVIEW as the GUI and have a field for inputting the weight.  I don't think this field is a constant.

Okay. What happens when you try inputting the weight property as a String constant into the property input of the Edit Property VI? I believe that should work. Also, just out of curiosity, did you have the TEDS data in input wired before trying to make a constant for the property input?

Once I click run after inputting it as a string it throughs an error and stops the VI.  I tried both wiring it first and then creating the weight property and i tried it after.  Just out of curiosity, do you have the same problem or have you looked at that property in LabVIEW to see if you have the weight property settable?

Thanks,

SS

I was able to resolve it.  turns out I wasn't selecting the *.tdl file.  I was only reading the template from the sensor I had programmed in another programmer. 

Thanks for your help.
