Answer of External Monitoring Software does not Appear in EMC32 Window

Question

An external monitoring software receives EMC32 commands correctly and answers from LabVIEW.

However, the answer does not appear in the EMC32 window.

What's the problem? How to check?

Answer

Every network monitor can be used as an analysis tool, e.g. Network Monitor 3.3 from Microsoft.

This tool allows the capturing and protocol analysis of network traffic.

If the two software programs run on separate PCs, it is possible that the firewall blocks the traffic.

First step: Set up the connection. If this is successful, try the *IDN? query to read out the

device name with serial number and firmware version.
