Building Serial Read/Write.VI in PDA emulator

[uclabme]

Hi everyone,

    I am trying to build the example program "Basic Serial Read and Write.VI" onto a PDA emulator. When I do this, it tells me that a group of VIs are missing, including "Number of Bytes at Serial Port," "Timeout Value," etc. These are all the settings in the property node inside the "VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).VI, a subprogram of the top VI. I assume that I have to somehow load these files as additional source files when I build the VI, but I don't know where to find them on the hard drive. Also, it will only load *.lib, *.c, *.cpp, or *.obj files as additional files and I have looked at all the library files I can find with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find property node files or whatever library I need to get this program built onto the emulator? Thanks a lot.

uclabme,

I don't think VISA is available on the PDA.  The PDA uses the basic serial I/O VIs instead of VISA.  If you are rebuilding an existing VI for the PDA, you will need to replace these functions as well.  Perhaps that is why NI has not already done this.

Hope that this helps,
