How to use Simple Series example VI to control an instrument

[Prateekgt]

When I type in a command the response I get is the exact same as the command, and not the actual response. It seems like LabView isn't really sending the command to the instrument. How can I get LabView to send a command to the instrument? We have been able to communicate with the instrument through hyperterminal.

One of the differences between labview and hyperterminal is the fact that labview does not add cr or /and lf after the message.
You can add it easily by adding an enter to the string you send over the line.
