Getting numbers from a labview based program

[MReza]

Hi friends,
I have a Labview based program named "Camos", works via a rs232 in connection with a LCD panel.
The LCD panel sends some data with an exact bitrate to PC and a part of Data is an updating 5 digit number which is shown at the bottom of running program,

Can AnyOne Help me to get the 2 updating numbers in the program, I wanna show them on a Big LCD outside PC with a low usuall bitrate,
And Its really an Important project for me, Really important for my future job,

I attached a link of Camos.

Thanks in advance, everybody.

The attached is an executable and I cannot run it, as its made in some dinosaur's age version of LabVIEW...!!

But just to understand your problem: Are you trying to read some sort of data from this LabVIEW exe (Camos application), which actually is coming from some LCD (over serial port)... If yes, then why dont you read it directly from LCD...??

Thanks for your reply,
This is an screenshot of the program,
And I agree with you, "dinosaur's age version of LabVIEW"  🙂

I've not used the Labview many times before but I can code in VB and...
and the LCD is something comerrical with a RS232 output, It's a compact thing and I can't understand the data coding easily,



I need the 2 numbers at the bottom of the program,even 2 updates every second is acceptable, And the fields can be copied somewhere.

Why dont you use any RS232 sniffer software and see what command CAMOS is sending and how LCD is responding back.

1. http://www.serialmon.com/

2. http://www.serial-port-monitor.com/

and many more free softwares (RS232 sniffer) are available....!!

And if you've a product manual of this LCD (which describes the command list), you can probably share it here.

Writing code in LabVIEW for communicating over RS232 is easy and there are examples available around this.

I will use these RS232 sniffer softwares, and I hope I could understand the connection,
Now i'm using my laptop and no serial port, so I'm going to my friends tiny office,
 This is Camos LCD panel:



Unfortunately I have just a printed Manual and thats about using and calibrating the LCD panel,

I'll come again asking other problems on this project,
Thanks very much.
