Hey Guys,
I'm trying to setting up a serial communication between my PC and a Mettler Toledo micro balance (XS-205). The Balance is connected via a RS 232 cable to a TU-S9 USB adapter and then to the PC. I do see the port in the NI MAX and via the test panel I've set the configuration of the communication according to the ones of my balance:
BD rate: 9600
Bit\Parity: 8/none
StopBits: 1
Handshake: none
EndofLine: LF
CharSet: Ansi\Win (only in the setting of the balance)
Continous mode: OFF ( " );
now the point is that if I try to query the command *IDN?\n I get as answer
1: Write Operation (*IDN?\n)
Return Count: 6 bytes
2: Read Operation
Return Count: 17 bytes
S\sS\s\s\s-0.0006\s\sg\n
with an error in the return data (Hex 0xBFFF006C). I've also tried to use the script provided by the NI website for Mettler-Toledo balances but I don't get any data and at the end of the routine I get the error VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed.
Anyone as a clue of what's going on? Thanx a lot for the help 
Cheers!
