the balance with port Rs232

[canman34222]

I have the balance with port Rs232. I want to apply the number value of balance to calculate in the equation

But now I can't take value into Labview.

What should I do, and please write a simple program to view.

In order to do the same

thk.

Sorry for my languages

I use Digital scales CDR-15

You'll have to determine the serial commands required to command the scale to return the weight. I looked on Chatillon's website but couldn't download the manual. Perhaps you have a manual and can post the section containing RS232 commands.

Sorry I have not a manual , But I see in Youtube

I see the Serial Com Follow it. I use confige port of labview and use visa resource name,

But I don't identify my port

Can you help me please.

Sorry I am not allowed to read Utube here at work.

LabVIEW will happily open a port for you but this does not mean it is connected correctly or that serial communiactions can take place.

You need to establish (without a doubt) the proper configuration else it is wasted time.

Most rs232 problems start with the physical cable not being quite right

and then the next level to overcome is the port parameters being setup exactly as device expects.

There is no real standard especially on older Balances like that one from Chatillon.

Might be better to use Hyperlink until you can establish a connection then you might be able to figure out exactly what parameters to configure the port in the LabVIEW.
