VT100 communication in Labview?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Start with the shipping examples. There is one called Basic Serial Write and Read and another called Advanced Serial Write and Read. However, if you really need true VT100 emulation, neither one will work very well. In fact, I do not know of any complete VT100 emulation that has been created with LabVIEW and to do so would not be a trivial task.

If ANSI terminal emulation is enough, then the above examples will work. Do you need the program to be able to interact with a user or is something fully automatic the goal.

I'm encountering the same issues.  Josh, can you please attach to Serial Read sub VI?  I realize it's been several years, but I just have to ask.

You don't need the Serial Read with Timeout. All you need is an ordinary VISA Read and don't wire up the timeout value. The regular Basic Serial Write and Read Example will do exactly the same thing. Neither will correctly format for VT100.
