asserting pins in serial port using labVIEW 6i

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to build a serial communication (RS232, TX and RX only)
between a uC and a PC. The uC card is measuring low level of currents
and thus very prone to EMC problem. At the moment there is an ADC
converter on the uC card and I have achieved a resolution of 15 bits.
No wonder that if I connect the serial port directly to the card my
resolution will be down by a couple of bits due to the noise injected
by the PC. Thus what I would like to do is to isolate the PC and the
uC using optocouplers. I'd like to use the voltage available in a
serial port to drive my optocoupler. For this I need to permanently
assert one pin low and one pin high of the serial port and connect the
optocoupler with the proper resistors.
I'm using an old (ca 2000) LabVIEW 6i and I wonder if it possible with
this version to assert pins individually, like CTS/RTS for instance.
Can you help me with this ?

You need to use a property node, as in the attached example

Thanks very much, I'll try this.
