Serial Out using VBAI 2.6.1

[strom]

Hello,

When using VBAI's Serial out function, I can only transmit 3 characters.  If I try to send more than 3, I receive only the two first and the last character at the external device.  (ABC -->> ABC,     ABCDEF -->> ABF)

I have no problem using the "Serial In" function

Any Idea's?

One thing to definitely try would be a loop-back test on the output.  Setup a VBAI step to write a command and then read a string back, connect pins 2 and 3 on your serial cable, test the steps and see if you read in exactly what you write out.  Do this while you are configuring the Serial I/O step in VBAI.  If you click on Show Terminal before you run the test it will display a window monitoring the port.
