ASCII AND RS 232

[kalzebouni@trentu.ca]

am having some problems when reading from a device that gives me the
current temprature through rs 232. am sending a command to the device
and i get a string that does not make scence. the same command i
send through hyper terminal and i got the proper string back ( a number
that is the temp of the room). my questiong is how to make labView
forse the coming string to a 7 bit ASCII. thats what i did in hyper
terminal to get that right respose back (i clicked on the box that
forse the string into 7 bit scii) or if any one know of another way
to convert the coming string to a readable one. am a co-op student who
is just learning labview and this is my first project.
open to any suggestion
thank you in advance

From the Instrument i/o pallete -> Serial pallete -> choose the Serial port
init.vi. This vi has inputs which allow you to configure everything about
serial communication, including setting it to force the string to 7 bit
ascii.
