how do i control optomux brain baords using LV6i?

[Prasad]

i am new to labview..i am currently in a process of communicating with optomux B1 and B2 brain boards and i/o modules which control the robot and CNC machine and the sensors. This optomux device is connected to the computer through a serial port. I am able of take control of the serial port but find difficluty in communicating with optomux. Can any body guide me from basics as to how to go about doing this? any kind of help will be appreciated...thanx

To find out optomux basics and commands, may be good way is to use
FieldPoint programmers reference manual for FP-1000 controller.

I haven't had any troubles doung FP-1000 communic
ation using optomux
protocol.
Generally,use VISA read/write and send/receive optomux string commands
to "ASRL[Com port number]::INSTR".
You forget to mention which troubles exactly you have with optmux?

Good luck.

I am not sure this wil help but something to consider. Have you try this driver

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\OPTO22 Opto Mux Serial Protocol (Contributed) for LabVIEW - Instrument Drivers - National Instruments.html

Let me know if this work.
