Looking for serial instrument drivers for MKS 647B (mass flow controller), MKS PR4000 (pressure gauge controller) and Granville-Phillips 358 (pressure gauge controller).

If anyone has anything that will talk to these instruments serially, I would be ecstatic. They're relatively simple, but I figured I'd try to see if it's been done already.

For the 647B try using the analog inputs and skip the serial interface altogether. Send it a voltage from one of your analog outputs corisponding to the amount of gas you want. Far simpler than traying to talk to the thing. good luck...

I downloaded the driver for PR4000 somewhere on the internet, If you need it, I'll e-mail you.

It is not a good driver anyway!

Let me know.

P.S. I am not able to "swith on" or enable the mass flow controllers, but I must press the "ON" button on the front panel. do you know which command do I have to send?
