Resending a serial message, if no reply is received

[toddgilbert@hotmail.com]

I have a queue state machine that I'm trying to add some functionality to.  What I would like to do is add some code that will resend a serial message up to 3x, if no reply is received.  It's probably pretty easy, but I'm relatively new to LabVIEW. Thanks.

Try this. You write the command and if the response is not empty or the counter is greater than 2 (not 3 because it is zero based) then you stop your loop and continue on.

DOH, the VISA should be wired through the loop assuming you will be doing processing afterwards/closing your VISA (which you should will do 😉 )

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I've included an image of the code that is being used for the read/write.

This image is too small to read.  Consider posting a bigger image next time.  Does your code work like you want it to?  Do you need more assistance?  Have you implemented the suggestion by for(imstuck)?  It looks to me that you have not.

I implemented the recommended code - works like a champ - thanks.
