How do you name items in Labview with DSC if you want to use a DDE server

[Freek]

I want get information from a brooks 0154 module and that has an DDE server. How can DSC read the value's from this DDE server? Is there no need to Initialise the RS232 port and how should you addres the server to get the right results?

The initialization of the serial port will be part of the DDE Server (and not DSC). To setup DSC to talk to the DDE Server, you basically create Tags from this DDE Server in the Tag Configuration Editor. Search for "DDE Servers" in the online help for details on how to go about doing this.
