Looking for Hart Scientific 5690 or 5691 smart probe driver.

Serial connection. Protocol definition would suffice. Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this exact instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument.

There is a driver for the Hart Scientific 1575 and 1590 Super Thermometers I would first call Hart tech support and ask what the difference between the commands sets of the two models are. If they are unable to give a good answer, then I'd try to get the manuals for the devices just to compare the command sets myself. If they are very similar I'd just modify the old driver. If they are very different, and I was using Lab
VIEW I'd just make I/O assistant VI for each function in the manual, and I would have a low-level driver. Once you have this low level driver you can just combine functions to make higher level VIs.

You can also contact the Hart to see if they have a driver for their instrument. If they do not, you may want to hire an Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

Thanks for the response. I did talk to Hart, who were unable to provide protocol info. The 1575 and 1590 are very different devices so I didn't think there would be much chance for overlap. Fortunately I have some home made serial analysis tools so I was eventually able to figure out what I need. 'driver' would be generous for what I have, but I can reliable access the device. Thanks.
