A quick word of warning. I just encountered an issue that occurs when changing baud rates on the fly (for example, if the instrument you are talking to has the ability to change baud rates). If you transmit a message using VISA write, and then change the baud rate using a property node, the baud rate might apply to the written message. I'm guessing this is because the property node is able to change the serial driver settings before the driver has the oportunity to transmit the data. It might be safer to wait a bit after a write before changing the baud rate.
