Hi

There is a simple way to start communications by RS 232. You can just use for it VISA function to send and receive data.

There are some axamples in LabVIEW package: Basic Serial Write and Read.vi and Advanced Serial Write and Read.vi

Hi

As mentioned you can go with the VISA function of LabVIEW.

Here is the basic read / write VI which will help you enable RS-232 communication.
