MAX can't find serial to USB converter COM3

Hello friends,

 

I am using serial to USB converter for communicating the instruments.

 

I install drivers successfully and device manager shows COM3.

 

But when I go MAX 5.5 , I cannot see the COM3 port in  device and interface.

 

Please tell me solution of this.

Hi Haris115

In the device manager, do you see the blue eagle icon of NI?

Is your device under Data Acquisition devices?

If no, which drivers and which versions did you install? You can see it on MAX. Which OS are you using?

Regards

eaguero,

You must have intended this answer for a different post. A com port is not supposed to show an NI icon or be listed under data acquisition devices.

Dennis,

 

You are totally right, it was a mistake from me. We do not see com connections under data acquisition devices.

Haris115, can you tell which drivers and which versions did you install? You can see it on MAX. And which OS are you using?

 

I just want to be sure there is the correct compatibility.

 

Thank you
