Hi,

Thank you for the help but I figured it out, working with VISA for serial COM ports. The tricky part is the reply from the VISA Read is in an unknown length so I have to read one byte at a time until a stop char is given.

Thanks anyway!

I forgot you could communicate with motor controllers using VISA. Thanks.

What information are you able to get from the motion controller using VISA Read? I'm trying to get the position of my linear actuator as a function of time so I can get it's actual amplitude and frequency, but I've not been having much luck with VISA Read. How exactly do you have that part of your code set up?
