How do you send <esc> char in a serial string in LabVIEW?

[srogers]

A customer of mine had the following request:

Scott,

We have run into a bit of a problem and would like to bounce this off you.  The new SW command set for our product test needs to have the escape <esc> char sent to it.  When using a console program like terra term or hyper term it works but I can't seem to figure out the correct way to do this in LabVIEW.  

1> do you know if this can be done?
2> do you have to send the hex equivalent value <b1> to have this work?

Thanks

Yes, set the character constant to \codes and send a \27 (since it is ascii 27 in decimal for escape).

Or set the constant to hex display and send 1B (it is not B1 like you said)

[RavensFan]

Let me correct that.

It is decimal 27 which is hex 1B.

But you would send it as \1B in \ codes or 1B in hex display.

for me the string command looked like    \x1b
