How to control RS 232 image intensifier

[AnkitG]

Hi all,

I have a videscope VS4-1485 image intensifier which got RS-232 communication. The instrument comes with a software (not labview) to control the gain and gate delays. But I need to control the intensifier with Labview as I do with my camera. can any one tell me what further setup is required to control the RS-232 instruments with LabView, I know I can use Visa serial read and write but does I need any special SCPI commands? do i need a DAQ card?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

AG

Hello,

usually the manual of the device should state (if applicable) the command arguments to be sent over the serial port. Did you check the documentation? You should just need a RS232 cable and proper command format in order to communicate.

Should be fairly easy, I suppose.

Best regards,

K

Thanks a lot, I will check with the vendor as the datasheet and manual doesnt have any command list. the manual only state that the device have  RS232 control.
