Serial Port 9th bit

[gmisk]

Hi ..to all readers
I would like to ask if it´s possible to use the 9 th bit of a bit frame in
order to send more information.Lets say that i would like to use the parity
bit for that reason.The controller that i´ll use it´s from Motorolla and i
will use the serial port.I know that the chip can send 9 bit but what about
Labview ?
Thanks

The only way I can think of in LabVIEW would be to send chars one by one and
changing the parity to mark or space prior each send. Far from being
elegant, it is surely not efficient and I don't know if reconfiguring the
port on the fly doesn't reset the port and buffers...

You have to give it a try by yourself.

The LabVIEW serial VIs are based on the Windows serial DLL. No less, no
more.
