| Attempted to communicate with the smaller vac pump (TwissTor 74) via Agilent software today. Was able to communicate with the pump via python serial connection code as usual, with no issues. When using the manufacturer software though, it was unable to 'locate' the pump and failed to connect to it. So manufacturer software works for the big (older) pump, but not the smaller, newer one. Unclear if this is somehow related to the fact that using the manufacturer software for the bigger pump involved manually connecting its controller to spica with a db9, and there was no obvious way to do that for the smaller pump's controller. |
