serial port will only read 128 ascii values

Hi,

 

Im currently trying to read data off of an analog to digital converter and use that data to change the levels on a gui display. I have the program reading in ASCII data and displaying the appropriate levels on the gui using this data but it seems that after the program reaches the 128th ascii value it no longer changes the gui. I have a seperate gui displaying the ASCII values produced by the analog to digital converter and it is displaying ascii data but this data doesnt seem to follow the traditional ASCII II table and wont change the gui level.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated,

thanks

hi

is your data displayed a byte: U8 or I8 or even another type of integer?

Hey Mapin1,

 

So just to clarify, your analog to digital converter is producing ASCII values? After 128 ASCII values are passed in by the analog to digital converter, everything following is not a proper ASCII value?

 

Is this data being read in LabVIEW, and if so how is the data getting from your analog to digital converter to LabVIEW?
