yokogawa Wt1600 problem with reading data

[Thang Nguyen]

Hi,I am doing a project with the Yokogawa wt1600 digital power meter. I meet a problem when trying to use the read VI. When I run the program in the Highlight execution, it's can read the data well, but when I read it in normal mode, I meet the error. It looks like the program meet the time out with no receive message. Is there anyone meet this case before?Thank you so much for your time.Thang Nguyen

Thang,

I am assuming that you are communicating to the power meter via serial port.

This is what I usually do to write/read serial port.

You will have to provide the necessary information in each of the functions based on your device communication parameters.

There might be a better way to do it. Anyone...?

Hope this helps.

Regards,

It's true that I use the serial port. The problem, I think, is about the time out number. I don't know how to do it right here. The problem is I can read the data well in the highlight execution mode but not in the normal. It's weird.

Thank you!

As shown in the image, you may need some sort of delay between the write and read functions.
