Hi Nag123,

You cannot use serial communication on the emulator because there is no access to hardware.

Nag123,

You are correct! The documentation you are referencing does indeed say how to configure the emulator so it can be done. I appologize for the misinformation.

Nag123,

This topic is somewhat confusing and the documentation is not exactly accurate. In order to configure the emulator do execute serial commands you have to first add an emulator target to the LabVIEW project first. In order to that, create a new project and right-click the project title and select New » Targets and Devices...

In the new window that comes up, make sure "Existing target or device" is selected and select the emulator you want from the PDA folder below. Once you do this, the emulator target will be listed in the project explorer. Right-click the target and select "New PDA VI". In this VI you will code your program and when you run it, the emulator will be launched and the VI will  run within it. Once the emulator is running click File » Configure and go to the peripherals tab. Here you can map the serial ports to COM ports on your computer. You can actually only map Serial1 and Serial2 only and I believe the reason for this is because Serial0 is restricted for ActiveSynch.

hi  eli , ur correct i am get that configure window , but how  to select the port of pc to emulator. In the configure window i saw

three port selections. my qusetion is i want use my  pc com1 port  to my device for serial communication , for this purpose how can i select these configure port?

 Please tell me  with ur experience.

Nag123,

I am not sure I understand your questions clearly. Once you are in the configuration window, there are drop-down menus for each port. Go to port1 and select COM1.

hi eli,  i saw in configure window  serial port 0, serial port 1, serial port 2,

 My question is the emulator want  to communicate with device ,which connected to com1. How can i drop down the above ports. u said serial port 1 is  it satfiy the my requirement.

on more qusetion, in this emulator the Ni-VISA serial communication is works or not?
