Hello Christoph, "I=92ve now managed to send the correct command to the ADC.. and the ADC responses with 13B1#06 for example. But i still get the timeout errot - the I/O assistant doesnt seem to recognize the answer from the device."
How are you getting the 13B1#06 response from your device? If you are getting a response, when is your VI timing out? You might try looking at what you have your timeout set to. Also, is this the only device you have connected in your system? If you have more than 1, 2/3 of the devices must be powered on to communicate correctly. If these suggestions don't help, you can post your code and I will be glad to take a look at it. Sean C. Applications Engineer National Instruments
