serial communication

[works]

Hi,

 i need to debug my vi which reacts to some bits send to the the port through serial communication between labview and FPGA.

Is there some way i could write something on my serial port without actually connecting the FPGA(otherwise i have to program the fpga for different cases).

Thanks in advance.

You can write, but you won't get a response.

For debugging purposes, you could write another program that acts as the FPGA and just does the bare minimum you need for debugging.  These are typically not difficult to write.

so a possible solution can be  to make a file through which i can write on my serial port and later on read those bits through my vi which i want to debug.

new to labview so just correct me if i make some stupid mistake.
