Graphing input from RS232

[Good_Tweety_Bird]

Sorry but there is no instrument in the sense of a DMM, RF power meter, etc. I have a source of RS-232 data and  in this case it is a PIC32. But from LabVIEW's perspective I would think what generates the stream is irrelevant as I can also send an RS-232 stream from a PIC24, a Kontron board, or even another laptop with an adapter. To the LV application I was considering building the actual source should not have mattered.

Thanks,

It just makes no sense to say the only instrument is your converter. That isn't a data source. You've got to have an actual instrument.

In the first post, the OP did state what the data structure was.  That is all the information that is needed.

Now, see if this example works for you.  Yes, you will need to install VISA, which does not require a license.

Thanks for the post.

I am way rustier on LV than I thought so it will take me a while to find the various VIs and convert the image you provided into a VI. But I will get it done this weekend after I get caught up with my work schedule (gotta get 3 embedded PID loops working and tuned by Monday). So please forgive my slow forthcoming feedback. I do really appreciate it.

What I posted is actually a snippet.  Save that image to your harddrive and then drag it onto your block diagram.  *Poof* Instant code.  This is assuming you are using LabVIEW 2014 (which is the version I made the snippet in).
