Thermocouple and Superlogics 8520 & 8018

[jamat]

Hi all,

I'm a new LabVIEW user and I try to measure a temperature using a thermocouple and superlogics 8520 (as RS-232 to RS-485 converter) and a superlogics 8018 (8 channel thermocouple input module). When I use the DAQ assistant I have this message ''no supported devices found''. I downloaded the drivers from superlogics and tested all the connections but I still don't know why my computer don't detect my device. Probably I missed a step?

Thanks

Jamat

Hi Jamat,

The DAQ assistant only supports devices that run on the NI-DAQmx driver which are the NI DAQ cards.  I can see that the products you have are connected to the PC through RS-232.  Usually you would use serial commands to talk to this.  Superlogics have done the hard work for you though and have drivers available on their website at http://www.superlogics.com/downloads.asp?prod=787.  If you download and install these you can use their LabVIEW functions to acquire data from the device but these still will not work with the DAQ assistant.

Regards,
