Details on use of Device Control/Status.vi

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi:

I would like to use the Device Status/Control.vi to check the status of the CTS and DCD lines on a serial port.

How to do this?

Thanks,

I never used this VI but I did use VISA to do it. Get a Property Node on the VISA palette, right click on it and select Properties>Modem Line Settings. Others may disagree but I always prefered using VISA over the older serial drivers and in fact the old ones are no longer supported by NI or included with LabVIEW.

Dennis is right--you should use VISA.

The Device Control/Status function does not do what you want it to do.
