RS-232 DATA SEND TO Iinstrument

[altenbach]

Converting a string to a byte array and back to a string does nothing.

Hi altenbach, 

is the string type entered in the visa write buffer considered as binary or hexadecimal please?

I'm learning labview and sorry for my questions if they are not consistent

A string is a string is a string, and this has nothing to do with LabVIEW. The look is purely cosmetic and does not change the underlying data.

If you want to enter the data in hex, set the display to hex.

The module has several operating speeds but it does not accept 9600. So I set my via visa to write at 115200 speed, configured the radex of the via containing my data in hexadecimal reading and the problem is solved. Thanks for your help!
