Using labview to control a kent scientific genie plus syringe pump

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on controlling a Kent Scientific Genie Plus syringe pump using LabVIEW via an RS-232 connection. David Miller, a user unfamiliar with LabVIEW, seeks assistance in developing a program that allows real-time flow rate control through a simple dial interface. Participants recommend LabVIEW as the most straightforward solution for this task, emphasizing its compatibility with the syringe pump's communication protocol.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RS-232 communication protocols
  • Basic knowledge of LabVIEW programming environment
  • Familiarity with syringe pump operation and control
  • Experience with real-time data acquisition systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn LabVIEW basics and its programming constructs
  • Research RS-232 communication setup in LabVIEW
  • Explore LabVIEW examples for controlling external devices
  • Investigate alternative software options for syringe pump control
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for laboratory technicians, biomedical engineers, and researchers who need to integrate syringe pumps with computer systems for precise fluid control.

i need to find a way to control the syringe pump in my lab so that i can control the flow rate in real time from the computer, ideally from a simple dial i scale up or down. the pump can connect to the computer using a rs-232 port and someone suggested to me that labview would be the easiest program to do this with. I have never used labview before and have no idea what i am doing. any help would be appreciated or if u know of an easier way to create the program i need by all means recommend it. thanks.
