LabVIEW VISA communication of SEK-SENSORBRIDGE

------Question for SEK-SENSORBRIDGE Please Put your question below------

I want to connect a temperature and humidity sensor to the SEK-SENSORBRIDGE and acquire data from the PC side. Is this possible with LabVIEW VISA communication?

Hello,
Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum. I’m checking into this and will post the information I find.

Hi maruko,

It does not appear that LabView Visa will natively communicate with the SEK-SENSORBRIDGE.

However, the SEK-SENSORBRIDGE communicates via a virtual serial port, and I believe that LabView Visa can also do so, so it’s conceivable that one could create a driver for LabView Visa that would allow it to “speak the same language” as the SEK-SENSORBRIDGE. It implements the Sensirion “SHDLC” protocol, for which more information can be found here:

Note that this driver is written in Python, so one would likely need to study the code to understand the underlying SHDLC protocol in order to create a functional driver for LabView Visa.

If you simply need to work with the data from some of the Sensirion sensors, you can use Sensirion’s SensorBridge software to gather the data and store it in an Excel file.
