Setting VISA Resource name for TCP/IP?


Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out how to set a resource name for a TCP/IP VISA connection.

From my searching, it looks like I need to set a resource name something like:

TCPIP::172.16.72.244::10001::SOCKET

I have tried putting this in a String constant and Type Casting to VISA resource name, but labview (ver 6.0) bombs badly when this is executed. I have set the class of the Resource constant to the appropriate value, "TCP/IP Socket."

What technology am I missing here?

Thanks,

Kirk :headbang:

Why are you using VISA? Why not use the standard tcpip functions? I always use those.

The read function on the standard TCPIP pallette looks for a CR/LF combination to terminate the message. The device I am talking to terminates with only a linefeed. The VISA approach seemed to offer more flexibility, especially since I already have serial drivers written using VISA that should be able to be easily converted to TCPIP.
