Timeout units for VISA Configure Serial Port

[Greg1997]

Hi there,

Can anybody answer a simple question:

What units are used to setup a timeout: seconds or milliseconds?

LabView Help is very confusing.

Thanks,

Greg

It's milliseconds. You can see this for yourself by just opening the front panel of the function. You'll see the label of 'timeout (10sec)' and a value of 10000 in the control.

Dennis is right, the unit is ms !

But I agree that the label is misleading and that the help for VISA Configure Serial Port.vi is not clear enough. Besides, you're not the first who rises up this question.

My suggestion : submit a feedback on the help for this VI to NI by clicking on the link in the bottom of the help. Chances are good that the text will be changed in a next version of LV.
