Trying to communicate with a TRIPP-Lite UPS via USB port. I thought this was going to be easy, Tripp-Lite sent me the protocol, creating the words to send and what to expect for answers. I was ready to go, but now I'm seeing they use HID Protocol. Which I had never heard of, but that's not so unusual.
There is no com port, they use an ip address in the tripp-lite software. There is no network connections to the hardware so I'm guessing the ip address is being used by the software to address the USB Port.
I'm just lost, is there something in labview that addresses HID communications? Do I use VISA? Do I create a raw port and assign it a ASRL number?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Bob Harmon
