I have an .exe application that communicates with an instrument. The .exe includes a GUI with a few configuration options, then acts as a data logger once the instrument is running. I'd like to use LabVIEW to fully automate this instrument as part of an automated (and un-manned) maufacturing process, configuration and datalogging. There is no addtional information available from the vendor. Does anyone have experience to share on the best approach to this type of task? Attached are data grabs from NISpy and the corresponding data exported from the GUI application. The setup of the serial link is obvious, but I don't see the data. Is "...CTk...." the data in an encoded format? Would Portmon to similar sniffer software provide more information?
