VISA Communication - Losing data from string

The port exists in my device manager...I do not have or know what the measurements and automation center is.

That's Measurement and Automation Explorer.  We refer to it as MAX.  It is a program used to configure all of NI's hardware.  You can also see what serial ports, GPIB instruments, and the like you can communicate with.  It should have been installed with VISA and LabVIEW.

NI MAX should be installed on your desktop.

Your VI is setup to read/write once. You aren't doing something like clicking the Run Continuous button are you? If you are, stop.

Thanks, found it. It does exist there also. I'm not sure what the problem with this program is..I keep getting the same error.

[jayshih]

No, I am not doing that.

Anything change since it was last working okay?

Have you shut down and rebooted?
