Did you install the driver for FTDI chip?

yes i have installed FT232R USB UART driver and computer as well as MAX detects the interface. but in GUI front panel, it fails to update resource name. i am sure the USB end of this connector i connect, is COM3. earlier using the same connector, FP generated COM3 as resource name and read  data successfully from instrument

Are you on a windows operating system?

I would check in the device manager and make sure Com3 is assigned to your FTDI adapter. Sometimes Windows assigns a different Com port designator to these adapters each time you plug them in.

Now Using LabVIEW 2019SP1 and TestStand 2019
