You don't require any LabVIEW drivers at all. According to Advantech, this is an 8-port RS-232 board. If you have drivers from Advantach and the ports appear in MAX, then you are ready to use them just like any other com port.

I'll repeat my statement - it's an 8 port, RS-232 board. It's not an instrument. There is not supposed to be anything in instr.lib for it. There are shipping examples for using serial. Use those as a starting point for getting started. They use VISA functions and you have to install NI-VISA for them. Did you verify that you have the new com ports listed in MAX?

It's not any different than creating a VISA session for built-in RS-232 or USB-RS232. With the VISA Resource Name control, there is a little arrow on the right side. Click it and you will get a list of all VISA resources. Select the port you want.
