Still having major problems with serial port communication

[Kura]

For those of you that saw my earlier post I'm still trying to write to pin 3, but have yet to even be able to write in general. I tried wiring up a simple VI to just send "A" but the vi failed and produced a very abnormal error. I tried running the two example VI's concerning serial port communication that were provided with labview 7, but they didn't work either and I always get the following error:

Error -1073807202 occurred at Property Node in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi->Untitled 1

This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.

Does anyone know what this means and how to deal
with it?

Try uninstalling NI-VISA and Reinstalling NI-VISA and see if that helps at all...

Good Luck

I plugged that error code into an error out indicator and got the following: "VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.". That points to a bad or incomplete installation of VISA. What version of LabVIEW and VISA are you using? Check MAX - Configuration>System>Software>NI-VISA.
