New temperature controller from BlueFors uses API commands. To communicate with it, I am trying to use LabView, but I don’t have experience with HTTP. I have succeeded to get data using “get” function, but I can’t set any parameter using “post” function. Does anyone know how to do it? I would appreciate any help!
In the new Blueforce software, all functions are integrated into a single program. It now operates like a server, allowing you to send commands to read and control the controller. It's straightforward; you can also control valves, but the program should always be on.
Dmitry Yakovlev,
Yes, it is operates as a server now. I need to control temperature controller (TC) from my separate measurement program, for example, to measure temperature dependences (to sweep the set point or to change the heater power). Therefore I need to know how to send commands to this server. I have manual for TC, but I don’t know how to implement it in LabView. Specifically, POST doesn’t work.
I understand what you need. You should download the "Reference Manual Remote Access Control API," where all the commands are described. At a minimum, taking the temperature is accessible using any other program, but I prefer to do it in Python.
Dmitry Yakovlev,
As I mentioned before, I have this manual. However, I can’t make it work in LabView.
