• VISA SERIES termination character producer consumer model

  Hello

  I'm developing a HMI to receive data from a sensor.
  Material sensor is built in my company and I have no flexibility with her. Only 2 RX & GND wires, no possibility of
  hardware handshake.

  The sensor send to an RS232 com port a string hex each 1 s, 10 s, 60 years or more and I can not know the frequency.
  So, I scan each data bytes to the serial port and serial port with VISA Read 20ms. At the end of the string hex sent by the sensor
  There is a stop character but I don't how to use it.

  I use the model producer/consumer do not lose any data.

  In fact, I read and concatain received data (with VISA READ) until I got the right number of bytes (because I know the size of)
  the sent hexastring is 495 bytes).
  But in the real work, I don't know the size of the data to be received by the sensor. (<500>

  So, I want to use the character of endpoint to stop the loop of producer that contain VISA READ.

  Should what special function or the property node I use to do this?

  I've attached a screenshot of JPEG of my code.

  PS: for the development of the VI, I simulate the sensor data with another PC that sent the hex string in loop
  with the stop character.

  A method to read an unknown number of bytes: put just the bytes to the Port in the whole loop (not read). Place the output of bytes to the Port into a shift register and compare the latest iteration with the current. When the number stops change (current loop = last loop) then all bytes have arrived. Bail out of the loop so directly while reading VISA.

• Synchronization with Serial read/write problems. can not get the functionality of the terminal emulator

  Hello

  I am writing a VI to control PWM with a microcontroller via a serial port. I wrote a simple code for the microcontroller that allows me to set the ratio of duty cycle on a scale of 0-65535. It works very well with Termite of Compuphase (RS-232 plug); The microcontroller invited me to an entry, expected that I would one, updates and expected another entry when I decided to send him. Now, I'm trying to get the same functionality on a LabVIEW vi but hit a snag.

  When I tried to send my orders with a series read base and an example of writing, everything worked fine. I could see the prompt entry, write an entry and if I was quick enough, check out the update message. Even when I was not fast enough, I was able to check the update by monitoring the PWM pin with a Logic Analyzer. The problem with the basic example, however, is that I need to update the report to aura cyclical ratio, so I went for an example of reading continues writing. The problem I've met; is that I have to switch between reading and writing to make it work. When I do that, either I don't hold write it down long enough and nothing happens, or I get several updates when I switch to reading. Some of these updates don't even match and produce updates to defective upgrades for example; 16000 16000, 16000, 16000, 6000, 600, 60, 16000, 1600, 60, 0, 0, 0, 16000, 60, 0, 0 etc.

  I tried which allows characters of endpoint in the hope that the writing would end at the end and go to reading where he would receive a termination character and wait for me allow writing once again, but nothing helped. I still have to alternate between the two and either get no response on reading several updates of variable accuracy. I tried to remove her allows read/write and their structures of matter in the hope that the loop flow, associated with the characters of endpoint would the case, but then the updates don't register at all. The funny thing is I did a VI like this before with an Arduino and that there not even no need to switch between writing and reading (I'm now using a Board of Freescale FRDM).

  I was also the frequency of timeout errors; Error-1073807339 at VISA Read, reason Possible: VISA Hex 0xBFFF0015. I removed the option to stop the while loop if there is an error so I can run but always pops up an error on the judgment occasionally. Could the problem of synchronization always cause me problems?

  Would appreciate all advice really, I am providing my slightly modified example screws and can provide the code for microcontroller on request, even if it's very simple.

  Thanks in advance, it is

  In other words, frankly, a good bad example you according to your code. Also, you have the order of writing and read upside down in your amendment if the instrument requires a command to return something. It should really be using a structure of the event. The structure of the event around a write and read and use a value change event. I have attached a quick change. This mod is still a reading after writing. If necessary, you may have two separate events to write and read.

• stop character during the IV sweep with keithley 2600

  Hello.

  I have a labview code to make the IV scans on a solar cell.

  When I sweep V and I measure, it works great every time. Totally reproducible results.

  When I I sweep and measure V, I get randomly 410 interrupts with the vi printbuffer() when playing back the results.

  On the edge of survey error, I find the following details of the error.

  WARNING 1073676293 was held at VISA read in KE26XX.lvlibrint Buffer.vi-> sweepiv_test_2600.vi

  Possible reasons:

  VISA: (Hex 0x3FFF0005) the termination character was read.

  I disabled the stop character in him intialise Keithley 2600 vi, but the problem persists. The strange thing is that the code for the dredging of the V is exactly the same for I sweep (with obvious switches in the source and measurement).

  It seems that the levels of measurement/source are eventually go out of scope and causing the weatherstripping to end at the beginning. But even when I force ranges to a level that would deny such a problem, I always get the error intermittently.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  You can change a property for the stop character node and allow stop character in port VISA.  It's under settings based on the Message.  However, I have not work with GPIB to know how he handles things rather than serial ports.  I don't have your Keithley VI to find out what's going on inside of them.

• STOP CHARACTER

  1. How can I input termination character (\r\n) in the Format based on the string.

  It seems that there is an incompatibility of Variablew/representation when I use the LV EOL Constant rose.

  2. What is the Format Spesificatopn (%) for (\r\n), format according to the constant input string.

  Thank you.

  If you format as %x, you translate the nonprinting characters letters and numbers. This isn't what you want.

  Here are two possible solutions:

  

• Reading series: maybe stop character?

  Hi all

  I'm trying to use labview to plot the data I send from a pic microcontroller. I'm programming in c pic so I can quite easily format the output. More specifically, at this time I sent hexadecimal numbers in this format "xxxx" on the serial port. I used playback advanced series and writing vi sample, got rid of the portion of Scripture, added a hexadecimal string to convert to the number function and send the output to a graph. My problem is to get the numbers down. For example if I send the FFFF number sometimes he read _FFF sometimes it reads FFF_ F_FFF etc., when of course I want to tread FFFF. I don't know how to solve this problem. I spent a ton of time on this because sometimes it works perfectly if i ' ts frustrating because I can't figure out what to do.  I have the following settings

  2400 baud

  5 bytes read

  input buffer 5 bye (not really sure that it should be)

  no flow control

  endless, read about the stop character

  So I thought maybe I should add a termination character to my output, such as \n... but if I have it and labview to stop read the stop character as soon as he comes to \n it stops completely. I'm sorry if this post is not clear, please let me know if you need any information, I really had an incredible amount of time on it so that any help would be great

  
  

• How can I set more than one character of endpoint for interface RS-232 communication?

  Hello

  I have to communicate via the interface RS-232 of the PC with a card microprocessor. I use the "Advanced Serial write and Read.vi ' off examples of LabVIEW and it works on the principle.
  "My problem is the stop character: it looks like I can put a stop character, IS 0xA (so LF / line break) OR 0xD (CR / carriage return), but I have the need to react on the different characters of endpoint as"OK"gold""; I want to set a control (this VI will be used in a TestStand sequence).
  Is it possible to do, so that I can put characters from end of Cork I need? The property node in "VISA set up serial port" just accept an unsigned integer, nothing else. Of course I can get it running with the time-out-, but it is not very pleasant and extends the duration of trial unnecessarily.

  Thank you best regards &!

  It would be for writing. The poster wondered about reading. To read it, you will need to write your own routine of reading. Basically, you will need to use a loop and inside the loop, use the VISA to the Serial Port bytes to see if there are all the bytes available. Read the number of bytes and add to a string that you build in a shift register. After verification of concatenation to see if you have the characters of endpoint. If so, the reading is done. Pretty simple. Don't forget to disable the option enable the termination character in VISA configuration.

• When a character appeared reading serial port

  How to wait for some specific characters occurred in the serial port (e.g. port COM1 RS232 on PC) and then they recover at the port?

  I want to communicate back with a motor controller that uses ASCII strings such as commands and responses. It formulates a response to any command sent, and the response contains exactly a termination character (that I can specify during installation) at the end of the response string. Sometimes also, it sends a message when there is no order issued, for example a disc error message. There is no simple way and reliable when the controller is going to speak, when he won't, and the message will be exactly how many time, but we do know that each message will have this stop only at the end character. I would like to interpret the entire message in my code, that is to say, I would like to retrieve the string of all the characters from the previous endpoint character up to and including the most recent stop character. I think it means that I would have a VI that returns the message string and does not stream until the stop character appeared and was added to the response string. Or, Alternatively, a loop that adds entire messages to a queue of strings.

  All the screw example I found seems to rely on a certain number of milliseconds to wait or to know how many bytes to read, in order to use VISA Read.

  So far, I use a loop which seeks bytes in the buffer, retrieves everything to add to a string of shift register and test if there is a character of the string endpoint, all extract up to and including the stop character, if so. This feels very awkward and expensive for what should be a common task. Is this general law approach, or did I miss something in a simpler way?

  I read on the communication by Message and characters of endpoint, approach that sounds functionally similar to this, but it seems around standards of SCPI and my motor controller does not support this. In any case example Finder does not get a single hit on 'Message '.

  Thank you!!

  It really looks like you are doing things a lot more difficult it must be. Look at the VISA configure Serial Port. It has a character of endpoints allow and end characters entries. If you wire a real (or leave that he unwired) entry activate, read VISA will end automatically when you specify the stop character is detected. As long as the number of bytes to read is larger that the largest string that you expect to read, there is nothing else you need to do. That's how examples of shipment are put in place and discussions about the characters of the termination. Should there be nothing related to sustainable intensification of CROPS. If you do not get a message in your specified time-out, you get a time-out error.

• 4.1 XML files ai2 line terminator

  Hello

  I use DM with SVN version control. Ptaform is windows.

  I opened a pre 4.1 drawing that contains a file of domain. I made some changes to the design and not areas. After committing the design, the domain file is marked as changed in the pending changes. The metadata XML comparison shows no difference.

  If we compare the domainfile in print work and the previous revision, showed that the line termination character has changed. It was created, became LF.

  The preference for the line terminator is "Platform Default". So, it should be CRLF since I work on Windows. Change the value of CR does not change the line terminator in the file field. If the preference for the line terminator seems not work for domains.

  To avoid unnessary SVN changes, the line ending character should remain unchanged.

  Joop

  Hi Joop,

  So, it should be CRLF since I work on Windows

  LF is used as a line terminator for all objects and all platforms since DM 3.1.4. There are two exceptions - areas and files saved after the merger with metadata XML comparison. LF is now used worldwide.

• Why my instrument sends the response to the last command sent?

  Hi so I'll try to schedule this RLC SR720 via a USB/GPIB interface. I can communicate with the machine and it does almost what I want, but this oddity and I suspect I'm missing something basic. The manual can be found here.

  It meets the common as GPIB commands * IDN? (specify the instrument) and * IFC (clear device), so I'll use those. I want to use myself is xall?, which requires just the currently measured data.

  The problem is that it seems that the machine always "blame" a late order. By example, if I ask * IDN? with NI MAX, it returns what it should. However, if I can ask xall?, it always returns the same thing as * IDN?, until I do xall? Once again, then it returns to what it should:

  -> * IDN?
  
  <->
  
  -> xall?
  
  <->
  
  -> xall?
  
  <->

  Even if you go the other way:

  -> xall?
  
  <->
  
  -> * IDN?
  
  <->
  
  -> * IDN?
  
  <->

  As you can see, it is "late" a single command.

  The manual says:

  Similarly, the SR715/720 has a 256 character
  output buffer to store the output to the host
  the computer is ready to receive. If the output buffer
  It fills is cancelled and an error reported. The
  GPIB output buffer can be cleared using the
  Clear device universal order.

  So I thought I would try the clear control device (* IFC) before entering a new order, but it doesn't seem to work:

  -> * IDN?
  
  <->
  
  -> * IFC
  
  -> xall?
  
  <->
  
  -> xall?
  
  <->

  Does anyone have an idea what might happen? The manual says to use the line as the terminating character, so I'm, but it seems not to matter.

  You have everything waiting between your writing and reading?  Have you tried to do a reading before your order seding?

• Visa reading reads all bytes to the port

  I have a camera that I communicate via the Serial Port. I have a standard communications protocol. For a particular command, I know that the exact number of bytes expected in return. I send my order. I see the correct number and exepcted to bytes in the port. I then read the number of bytes in the port. However, the VISA read returns only the first two bytes.

  I contacted success with this camera and this Protocol for more than 130 commands unique and different. There are only about 6 orders in which the read visa does not read all the bytes in the port. Anyone know why that would happen?  I expect to see 6 bytes. I see 6 bytes. I have visa read the command with 6 bytes. The visa read returns only the first 2 bytes. It's very very frustrating. I can do this exact process even with a different command. I expect 45 bytes of this command. I see 45 bytes with this command and I read 45 bytes with this command.

  I don't think that it is device connected as I can converse with success with the same camera on the same computer with the same cable of connector using non-LabView. It seems to be a problem strictly related to labview and VISA read the order. If someone could help that would be greatly apprecicated.

  Thank you.

  What is the exact byte stream that await you in return with this command?

  Instead of opening VISA, use the configuration Serial Port VI.  In this way, you can override the default values.  It looks that your instrument using all the defaults VISA of speed in baud rate, start and stop bits, etc.  However, in the VISA software, there is a failure to use a termination character, and this character is 10 (0x0A).  If you use the configure Serial Port, you can tell the pilot VISA do not use the stop character.

• Analysis of chain for the chips to generate errors

  Hello!

  I program who receive channels of the ports series, split into 2 separate strings and write in separate tables. Everything is fine, but sometimes Scan string for chips generates strange values.

  For example: if I send strings like this:

  23.14 67.00

  23.18 68.00

  23.18 66.00

  and after the separation, I'm getting values such as:

  23.14, 8, 23.18

  67.00, 0, 66.00

  It sometimes seems that last figure is increased.

  Here's my VI

  (data in "serial port" are correct)

  

  And output values:

  

  I guess it might be something with delays, because if I'm reducing the time of waiting inside the loop, the errors appear more often. If so, are there any other (quicker) way to split a string into two? I already checked search/Split string with offset adjustment, but it did not help.

  (I use LV2010)

  Yep, use the termination character.  I was in a hurry so don't quite understand why.

• VISA read very slow communication

  Hello

  IM using serial communications VISA in my project and I noticed that the reading block works very slowly.
  I have the microcontroller that connected to my laptop through XBee modules.
  Baud rate is 9600 due as a change factor in each component in the line won't make a difference at all.
  Also, I checked that it work with terminal XCTU and its working fine (very fast). so his can not be something else except read VISA.
  Please see VI attached file.

  Thanks for any help,

  If you do not use a stop character, then the read VISA will sit and wait that 100 characters have been received by the COM port or the timeout elapsed (which is probably something like 5-10 seconds long). You can change the time-out period (using a property node) or reduce the number of characters you read each time that the loop runs.

  Without a termination character, you will need to build your own string using a shift register buffer - whenever you make a VISA read, add it to the chain on the shift register and then do some analysis to take control of your microcontroller (e.g. alarm, coordinated) and remove all the foregoing orders of the string buffer (for example if you have started the VI in the middle of a command) ", then you don't want to throw these data).

• Read buffer

  Hello, I'm new to labview. I'm trying to power supply (BK 1786 A) program connect via RS - 232. I'm just trying to learn about the reading of the voltage and current on the power supply, but it reads the command (GETD\r to obtain the preset voltage and current) and returns the form of GETD\r0090000\rOK\r - here, I sign up just 0.9V and now my question is - are at - it way to get pressure just not the thing back any character reading? Thanks for any answers in advance.

  Since it seems that everything is being done by a carriage return, you can activate the stop character.  Then set the number of characters to read something ridiculous like 1000.  VISA then reads only until the termination character is received.

  EDIT: I just noticed that you're using a GPIB resource and then using the serial port to configure.  I'm a little surprised that this isn't to throw an error.

• Problem reading Olympus IX-81 VISA

  I'm trying to control the microscope Olympus IX-81 with LabVIEW and can't seem to connect with the microscope. I recently configured settings in panel test VISA and was finally able to both read and write in the instrument by series, but when I tried the same settings in VI provided by National Instruments, I get the same error of timeout in the CITATION read. Each command must end with \r\n, but I can't find where I can fix each order to contain it. I put a probe in the right seat, before the error occurs and noticed, on the settings tab of transfer in the probe Watch window, it didn't there has informed flag called "Use TermChar on read", but the termination character box below it contains 'A' instead of \r\n. In addition, the 'Send end on writing' indicator is on, however, the box "Mode end Send for the entries ' below it says"none ". I'm new to LabVIEW and this is my first time on the forums, so please forgive me if I did not explain my situation in the best conditions. I spoke with LabVIEW tech support several times without success. I have attached a screenshot of what I mean and also a zip file containing the VI, I'm working with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is more information I provide, please let me know. Thank you.

  After eating some lunch and look at your picture better, I see that the removal of CR + LF is only from reading and not before the entry VISA.

  BUT also to research on the "Olympus" Command.VI again, the control of the "chain of command" is in "Normal view".

  So unless you have changed the version you have to "Show Codes"------"" we believe that you have not entered the CR & LN correctly.

  Change the display of the command string setting and re-enter your order with "\r\n".
