arduino mega2560 USB 9600 baud connectoin

[J_L_B]

I have just now made a USB connection between Labview 2012 and my Arduino Mega2560. However, it seems to only work with a USB/COM 9600 baud. This was specified in the Arduino LIFA_Base>LabVIEWInterface.h with the following defines:

#if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
#define DEFAULTBAUDRATE 9600    // Defines The Default Serial Baud Rate (This must match the baud rate specifid in LabVIEW)
#else
#define DEFAULTBAUDRATE 115200
#endif

My question: can I make a USB connection faster than 9600 baud, like 115200 used for the UNO board. If so, how. Does it require changes to code and/or Labview VI(s). If not, can you shed some light and explain why the restriction.

Try configuring your baud rate in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).

I included a picture of where this setting is located in MAX.
