Using Metex MS-1280 with LabView.

I am trying to connect a Metex MS-1280 oscilloscope, used in DMM mode to LabView 6.
The only thing I found is an example for some other Metex DMM: http://schulen.eduhi.at/htlbraunau/lehrer/ploetz/Labbsp/upmetex/metex.pdf
Unfortunately this example does not work on my Metex.
I get erros like: Visa read in Metex.vi (-1073807339)

I have found some data about the DMM: 9600-N-8-1
Probably they shall mean:
Baud rate= 9600
Parity= None
Data bits= 8
Stop bits= 1
I'll try with these values.

Hi,

It appears that the instrument driver does not correctly set up the termination character and Serial End Mode for Read properties for the instrument. Use VISA property nodes to set the "Message Based Settings:Termination Character" property to 10 ('\n'), "Message Based Settings:Termination Character Enable" to True, and "Serial Settings:End Mode for Reads" to 'TermChar'. This should force LabVIEW to pick up the '\n' termination character appended to data returned from the instrument. It will also be helpful to know which vi is throwing this error.

Thanks,
