This is a good!!! scanner retrieval program. Thank you for this. I only have the LabVIEW basic package (2010). I have seen a few programs like this using the "event structure" (only available in higher cost LabVIEW packages) but this works well without it.

Hi guys!  I'm late to this party, 5 years actually.  Anyone try this with Labview 2015 or 2016?  Or a more recent generation HID scanner?  I am thinking of buying an HID scanner and using this code.
