serial only reads 2 characters....

Convert the string to a byte array and use a FOR loop to send each byte out.

Thanks,

             i'm just playing with that now, but i've run into problems, as some of my data is text and some is numbers how can i index the data in the byte array ?

[Mark_Yedinak]

Simply wire the byte array to the FOR loop and using autoindexing. If you are still having problems post your code.

Just tried to wire the byte array to N but it is expecting 32bit.

heres my code before i tried to wire to N:

Sorry, ignore that, its the wrong picture (serves my right for calling everything untitled i suppose)

Here is an example of what you should try. (I didn't complete all of the wiring such as the VISA resource)

You should really consider cleaning up your code. Having wires running back in your code (right to left) is a very bad habit and makes the code difficult to read. There were several suggestions given earlier regarding things you can do to cleanup the code. It will help you in the long run to develop good style and good programming habits.

How did you change the N in the loop to a small N with a red dot ? and what is the significance of that ?

[Mark_Yedinak]

I added the conditional terminal which allows the FOR loop to abort early (I have the error wired to the condtition). I believe this was added in LabVIEW 8.6.

I change my value to 101, the array shows :   0 =108,  1 = 50, 2 = 49 3 = 48  what am i doing wrong  ???
