develop a user interface in Lecroy1451 by Labview

[yxphys]

Hello everybody:

I currently working with LabVIEW and I develop a user interface to the
hardware.
I have finished with most of the instruments and I now have to dialog
with a LeCroy HV1451 High Voltage multichannel power supply.

It has a simple dedicated language and communicates via RS232.
For instance, if we send ‘'‘ 28 LD RUP 11 500'' to HV-Lecroy 1451, it
will answer " 28 DMP 11 -0.1 -12.1 -20.0 488.6 488.6 -2550.0 1 ". This
is clear and simple but there is a lot of work to extract each piece of
information.

I wonder if Labview could help me with a starting program using this
device ?
Or with general tips or general examples to disentangle all the sub chains.


Thank you very much, any answer will be appreciated.

Hi Yang,

Alan from LeCroy here..  The company Universal Voltronics purchased this product line from LeCroy ~10 years ago. You might want to contact them for support - http://www.voltronics.com.

Thank you, Alan, I got the answer from Universal Voltronics, but only documentation, not special. It is possible to build an interface by myself, but the problem is that I don't know exactly how to analyse the data emitted from the lecroy and display correctly for the 24 channels. At the same time , it must be a big job.

Anyway thank you very much.

On the main Instrument Driver Page are links on what a driver is and how to write your own.

The example of the response seems pretty simple to parse and not much work at all. Exactly what have you tried? A single Scan From String?
