Hi

I need to read binary data coming on Rs232 port sent by PIC microcontroller embedded on FPAA kit in labview and then send that data to FPGA kit for display. Please help me how to do it as I dn't have much experience  in using LabVIEW

Hi There,

Good Morning and I hope your well today.

Thanks for the post! 

To perform Serial in LabVIEW you require NI-VISA (or NI-Serial) driver to be installed. You can find these from ni.com/downloads. These provide API in LabVIEW to open, read/write and close activity to ports. 

In LabVIEW Example Finder, Help>>Find Examples - search Serial, and locate the Basic Serial Write and Read task.This will help you learn what is required. 

I have also located some tutorials and other example code,

The normal output from the serial read is a string. But by using Type Cast Function, Owning Palette: Data Manipulation Function. You may cast your string into an array of any type like u8,I32 etc. Just remeber to specify typecast to array
