I have downloaded the LabView driver for the Olympus BX61 motorized microscope but am unable to establish any communication. There is a thread on this forum from May this year discussing the same problem but it does not come to any conclusions. Did anyone actually get this driver to work?
I can control the microscope with the BX2 software from Olympus so I know that the serial port is OK. I've asked the manufacturer for the serial port settings and they gave me a few different options (7 or 8 bits etc, I thought that was a bit strange). I think I've tried all possible permutations so I think the problem must be somewhere else. I've also tried changing the end of line character. The error is reported in Visa Read, which times out.
The problem is the same as that described in the pervious thread (Error: "BFFF0015 Timeout expired before operation completed."). Hoping that the two people who had the problem did solve it and could give me the simple solution...
Thanks for any suggestions
Anja
