Labview 6.0i control Tektronix TDS 220 Osiclloscope using RS232 interface

I am trying to use Labview 6.0i to transfer the data from Tektronix TDS220 oscilloscope to PC using RS232
interface platform. When I load up the Labview program, I selected the solution wizard button, then
I selected the "Serial", the screen display "Found Hardware....." Then my PC halted down. I rebot the PC and repeated the same procedure again,but my PC still keeping halted whenever I used the solution wizard to
to identify the oscilloscope. Besides that, I also used the avaiable program from NI website, I used a number of VI program including the Oscilloscope driver,
but without any sucess.

Can anyone or experts give an advice to help me solve the problem.

Many Thanks
Best R

Your description did not provide any information that would indicate that the serial port is working correctly.

Trfy sending a commnad to the scope using Hyperterminal.

If that works then we can concentrate on getting it going in LV.

Let us know how things progress.
