how to use serial instruments as a displayer or indicator

[connector]

Is there any way that I can display reading from serial ports evevy other 30 seconds? Just like I get reading from DAQ board. Now I am using serial.vi, but each time I have to send command to get the updated reading. Is there any way this can be done automatically?

thanks and happy holliday.

Here is a little vi that allows you to specify your interval. It works for logging data etc.
