Linking an Omega DAQPRO Data Logger to LabVIEW

[diarmaede]

Hi All,

I just received a spanky new Omega DAQPRO 5300 data logger.  Has anyone had any luck communicating to these via LabVIEW instead of the Omega software that comes with them?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you installed their software? Sometimes documentation for programming it using other languages can be found in the Program Files directory for that software.

Thanks for the response.

I did install the software.  I checked the containing folder, but there was nothing obvious.

It looks like your only shot at it would be to use the Code Library Function Node to call C:\Program Files\Omega\DaqLab\BTPortDLL.dll.

When you do that I see functions such OpenWidCommBTPort() and ReadWidCommBTPort().

That will be new and exciting to me.  Haven't done that sort of coding yet, but I look forward to learning something new.  Thanks!

Let us know how it works out.

It also wouldn't hurt to contact Omega.

They have LabVIEW drivers for many of their other products.
