Fieldpoint 2010 Serial Communications

[sloroag]

I am student at Texas A&M University and we are using the FP2010 to remotely control a mobile platform. Everything is working great but we do have one question... Can we access and use the RS-232 port on the FP2010 during operation? If so, how do we do this? The documentation on the FP2010 says that it can be used to communicate to serial devices.

Thanks,

Chris,

Yes, you can access the RS-232 port during operation with an embedded VI. To do this you use the Serial VI's that are located on the Serial Compatability palatte. This is located by going to the functions palatte==>Instrument I/O==>I/O Compatability==>Serial Compatability.
