How can i browse file via 232 port by use Labview 7.0?
Hello everybody.I am new for labview and now i want develope my application.
1 How can i browse file via rs232 port by use Labview 7.0? If it possible how about it?
normally we use WIN XP and Internet Exp to browse file. Labview can browse same as win XP?
I've had two (of those huge LabVIEW type) cups of coffee already when I read this post, it wasn't very early neither for me and I still couldn't make much sense of it either. So I think you can definitely and safely eliminate your two mentioned reasons ;-). This leaves only one other explanation and that is that the poster doesn't know what he wants or possibly even what he is talking about.

Maybe because it's to early and I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet, but your question doesn't make any sense to me. What do you want to do with the serial port? What's the relationship to IE? Do you want to establish a dial up connection to the Internet with a modem? What file browsing are you talking about? On your local pc, web pages, something else?

Nice! Now I at least understand a tiny little bit what he tries to do. Seems he would like to FTP to the FP box over his serial port as he can do over Ethernet. Well, no go for that for sure. Bad luck.

Only way I can see is implement his own serial port protocol on both sides to do his "file browsing". Why he would like to do that is another big riddle to me.

As I already mentioned in my earlier post, sorry that won't work. To do what you want to do you would need to run PPTP on the serial port and that would require a PPTP socket driver in the FP firmware. Besides that it is almost certainly no option for you to try to get the FP firmware changed to allow this it would be tedious to set it all up correctly and configure. The whole setup is even getting more complicated since you want to add a GSM modem to the whole link which would require yet another driver layer on the FP firmware (and complicate the configuration of the dial-up connection on the PC side also considerably).

Hello Rolfk,
About my problem.
I use Fp 2000 to communicate GSM/GPRS modem via serial port.
But i can only send string data to 232 port.
I want to browse folder in FP 2000 by rs232
(Normally we use command FTP://IP or HTTP://IP/name of file*.HTM on IE to read and send data to pc via RJ 45)
Is it possible? Please guide me....
Your only workable solution is to implement your own protocol in LabVIEW. This will consists of communication to the modem to setup a connection, and then some sort of simplified FTP protocol on top of that through VISA. And you will have to write both sides of that communication channel as a LabVIEW program. No way that you can use IE to do so.
As such I would expect this to take at least two full weeks of programming for a fairly experienced LabVIEW programmer with knowledge of modem communication and serial port communication in general. I can only guess that it would be more time for you and it is really for you to decide if the feature to browse your FP filesystem is worth that.
