PACE 6000 Using CVI

[hadarszostak]

Hello

Theas days I'm tring to communicate with my "PACE 6000" device with no successes.

Is there any driver I sould use?

That's the product :

Till today I was able to write my drivers in CVI with C code, but this new device do not respond

Appreciate your help

You have not said what the physical connection is and you have not said what you are writing to the instrument. The product sheet is not helpful. The programming manual is required.

1. My connection is GPIB
2. I need a simple example how to change pressure on the device.
3. I used to work with DPI 510 so I used the PACE 6000 emulator for DPI. Also there I didn't succeed .

You still have not said what you have tried. I'd the instrument listed in MAX? Can you use the VISA test panel in MAX to do a simple query such as *IDN? or ERR? I would recommend that you debug all of your command in MAX before trying to write any code. Post back when you have done done of the basic troubleshooting and include the command with any VISA or instrument errors that you get.

[hadarszostak]

Yes I already done that.

*IDN? QUERY get me back a string
+xxx.xxxLOCRxxxxx@01

No matter what I use for query i get this line

[Dennis_Knutson]

Do you have a message in MAX that it did not respond to the I'd query? Have you tried appending a line feed (\n) to the command?

[hadarszostak]

I see "configured" above the text box, but on globals "iberr: none"

[Dennis_Knutson]

What text box? Please attach an image of the results of Scan for Instruments. Are you actually using the VISA Communicator? Is that the text box? Did you try appending the line feed there? Please attach an image of that as well, please.

Ok i see there is a little confusion. Sorry.
I use NI MAX for quaries.

Update:
When i write :
:source:pressure:level 1.0 , I can change the pressure on the device.
When i write :
:sens:pressure? , I can read the "Measured Preasure" back to the MAX dialog box.

On global setup=>supervisor setup=>comm.=>ieee448
I use SCPI but i need to emulate DPI510.
When I do so I can't communicate with the device anymore.

My cvi code is written for DPI 510, so how can I control the device when set to DPI 510 ?

Hope you can understand me well

That's a much different problem than what I thought. You don't have a problem with CVI or any NI hardware. You need to contact the vendor. I took the time to download the SCPI manual (since you haven't attached it) but I'm going to stop at that. Sorry, but I'm not going to track down another manual and wait for you to post some code.
