Serial Comm - read operation

[Surendar Thaneer]

Hi,

I am trying to a read a data (session report) from Tektronix Audio
Monitor using the Labview. The problem Serial Port Read VI only reads 4096
bytes of data even though my report is larger than 4096 bytes. Wondering if
there is any restriction on the number of bytes that can be read using the
Serial Port Read VI. Appreciate any comments or solutions.

Thanks

Surendar

You can set the buffer size with Serial Port Init but instead of Serial Port
Read, try using use the VISA functions.

The serial port configuration has proabably set the buffer size to 4K.
Increase the buffer size or read the data faster from the buffer.
