drivers for Knauer Azura P 6.1L

[nitad54448]

Hi

I am trying to control an HPLC pump (Knauer Azura 6.1L) and I was ondering if someone has some drivers or any hints about this (the manufacturer does not help). I have managed to give some commands but the behaviour is a bit erratic (I found drivers for some other pumps for the same manufacturer, but they are not completely compatible).

Thanks for any pointers,

Regards

Hi,

Looking through the documentation of the device support in KNAUER CDS

It seems like the only drivers they have for LabVIEW are:

"LabView (National Instruments): Driver for AZURA Pumps P 2.1S / P 4.1S, Smartline 100, BlueShadow Pumps 10P / 20P"

Unfortuantley I couldn't find any drivers/examples specifically for your device. There is a Micro Pump Driver but this only supports:

Hi

Yes, I found these drivers on the NI website... but not the 6.1 which seems to be different. By using the MicroPump Driver I can connect to the 6.1 in TCPIP  port 10001 but the communication is a bit different : there is a header (in big endian) with 4 bytes then some ASCII afterwards that I can understand... I did not purchase this pump, I advise my colleagues to never buy a device that they can not control themselves.
