Visa Issues

[Ray.R]

Did you modify your vi to make sure that it actually does include the termination characters?

And set the boolean to True  to enable termination character?

Yes I made those changes, but after what Dennin Kuntson said I went back to using the code I orignally posted. Still no luck. I tried using Hyperterminal and can establish a connecting, but how do I send comands.

OKay..  It works with HyperTerminal... That's good.

Within Labview, click on the Help Menu and select Search Example.

Select the Search tab and type serial.  THere will only be one selection, so click on it.

Have a look at the top two examples on the list at the right.  

Advanced Serial Port Write and Read.vi

and

BasicSerial Write and Read.vi

You should be able to communicate with your device using those two.  Then have a look at how the code was implemented in those vi's.

When I run the example VI and write *IND? i get the following responce from read "LSCI,MODEL331S,336227,120407" LSCI correspounds to the company name, 311S is the model number and i am not sure about the other numbers. However, it still times out. I have it set to stop on terminal char and the model is set to return a terminal char.
