Hi friends,

I am a c++ programmer , I have no idea about Labview.

I am attaching a sreenshot having front panel.

There are buttons like "Initialise", "Focus And Align", "Align Scan" which control an existing device.

I have to control a new device using RS232 communication; Having all these options.

Please let me know how I understand these buttons code in existing VI  ???

Is there some supporting document or mannual through which I can understand ; how to control an instrument using RS232  communication in labview ????

Please help me........

thanks & regards,

your not going to get too much information by displaying the panel.  LabVIEW is a fully featured, computer language.  The block diagram (source code) is where the 'action' is taking place.  If possible I would suggest you post the entire VI.  But let me make this clear, you are talking about learning a new language here.  Depending on the skills of the programmer who write this, and what your trying to do, it may require that you write it from scratch or you may be able to cobble together sub-routines (sub-vis) that are already written.  The controls you are concerned about are unique to your project and/or situation.  I suggest using the help built into labview, as well as resources on this website for getting started in labview.  If time is crucial, you may be better off finding an alliance partner or contractor to come in and get you educated AND up and running quickly.
Here are some links for you to check out:

One source to find contractors and another to ask for contractors

good luck

Thanks Stradis ,

Actually when I click on the button an integer value is send to the instrument.

For example when I click "Initialize"  ; device control command code is 02 i.e "start transmitting".

Please let me know how to change the code i.i 02 to 03 ???????

Where is the code setting of the button ????

thanks

Menu bar: Window->Show Block Diagram or Ctrl+E.

This will open the block diagram, where as Stradis mentioned is the source code of a LV VI.
