Serial VISA

I work at ANSTO,  have a LabVIEW 8.5 with Window XP.

 

I like to use “Instrument I/O assistant” through serial port to control (communicate) with Vue-MVseries Laser Diode controller. As required by the Vue Controller, the command must terminated in the following two eq ways:

 

1) A line feed or “new line” character (ASCII 10)

 

2) A “great than” character ‘>’ (ASCII 62)

 

 In the window of “Selection Instrument” sub-window “Termination character”, I try to select <custom>, than I type whatever character, such as “>”, however, when I click run, it always end with “/n” instead of “>” as I wanted. It seems that the <custom> out og work. So that when I write a input, it always end with error: Could not perform operation because of I/O error.   VISA Status code : bfff003e”

 

I have tried all other possibility with different “Termination character”, <none>, “/n”, “/r” and “/t”, but none one works and shows the same error”

VISA Status code : bfff003e”

 

Could you please tell me how to resolve this problem, for making communicate between the Instrument to labVIEW 8.5.

 

 Thank you. Best regards.
