I think I almost have it. How does labview decide which task to write first? I have two com ports I need to write to simultaneously, but it seems to do one first then the other so im getting writes like xx instead of just x.

Okay so here is what I have so far,  Sorry I have to describe the vi instead of linking to one, but i had to leave the lab. Basically I made a case structure where it writes 'x' to both ports first, then waits 1second, before reading from both ports and running through the string search. Then it loops back after all else is done with the data that I read. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? i cannot test the program with two meters until next week so I only tried it with the one and I got the data just fine I think (it isnt plugged in so the value never changes so I can't be totally certain).

 

Will update next week most likely. Thank you for all the help so far guys.
