How can I detect an instrument using LabView?

[hello man]

Hello,

I can't find the right terminating character. I tried CR/LF and LF as terminating characters for the ESP301, but it didn't work. Is it possible that I need to find other terminating characters?

This is the error the I get:

Failed to open a session with the selected instrument.
   Error message : Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system.
   VISA Status code : bfff0011

Thanks,

The error has nothing at all to do with a termination character. As it states, the resource you have selected is not present. Exactly what did you select for the VISA resource? One of the basic features of the VISA resource control is that you can click on the little arrow on the right side and select from the list presented. The items in the list are the available resources.

And what com ports are listed in MAX?

For the ESP-301, CR is the correct termination character.
