how do i send a 'control r' command from labview

[Craig Minshall]

I need to initialise a piece of test equipment through the serial port, to do this i need to send a inialisation character. In terminal, I press 'control' and 'r' simultaneously, which gives arrow pointing both up and down (this being the character I need). When I do this in Labview it acts as a shortcut to the toolbar. How do I get this charcter?

One way is to set the string control for hex display (right click the string control/constant) and enter 13 which is the hex equivalent of Dev Control 2 (CTRL R). You could also set it for \ Codes Display and enter \13.

I got it to work with a 12 rather than a 13?? I'm now happily initialising away, thanks for your help.

x12 is correct. sorry about that. Misread my ASCII code doc. Must need new glasses.
