Have you been able to communicate with the device at all through the software provided by Keyence?  I would recommend establishing communication first with the device through the software provided by the manufacturer.  I found it here:

If you continue to have problems, verify that your serial port is working correctly:

You can also look for more troubleshooting information here:

   Hi Erin..

      Thanks for your feedback.  I already call Keyence and they send me the software for the scanner, I have

       my scanner working good right now, But I'm not using the software from  Keyence.  I read carefully the

        data sheets and I made the scanner to work.

       Now the problem I'm having is with IMAQ applicaction.    I need to overlay a rectangule over an  image

       I know there is a VI with a input ROI Descriptor,  but what I need is to overlay a rectangule just using

       4 numeric controls.    I'm thinking  two ideas,  1) Create a ROI Descriptor as a control, so far I couldn't

       figure out.   2) Using 4 numeric controls in a simple way.....

        I'll appreciate any help.

        All this is for a  automatic Inspection system that I'm currently developing.I have an 80% complete but

        need to depure a little more.

         Thanks
