USB serial drivers issue

[adityac26]

Hello,

I am using Myostat stepper motors that I need to control using NI VISA's serial session.  I seem to connect to the motor just fine, but having major issues sending commands and receiving commands.  After few days of debugging, I have come to the conclusion that the issue lies in the USB drivers provided by Myostat guys.  Would anyone in this forum be able to help me out to find some proper USB drivers that the NI VISA has been tried tested and true on a serial connection?

Thanks.

Hi adityac26,

You should to be able to configure NI-VISA to control your USB device:

https://learn.ni.com/learn/article/getting-started-with-instrument-control-hardware-and-labview

After you configure it, the device should show up in NI MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer), where you can run VISA test panels to be sure that you are communicating successfully with the device.

Then, you can communicate with the device directly with the NI-VISA functions (rather than using another driver as an intermediary).

There are .NET examples installed with the VISA driver under Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-VISA>>Examples that show how to use the VISA functions to communicate.
