Looking for a VI that can function w/ C commands? The VI is to communicate with equipment via SR232 port.

I am new to Labview, so please bare with me.

I am working with a Davis Weather station and are trying to communicate with it via RS-232 port. The vendor's command set is in "C." My dilema is to find an already existing VI that can extract the information using C commands and place the information in a format from which I can create a graph.

Your time and expertise are greately appreciated.

This forum is for discussing Measurement Studio for Visual C++. You should post questions on LabVIEW to the LabVIEW->General forum here:

There is not a existing LabVIEW VI that will do exactly what you need. LabVIEW does have tools for using C code called Code Interface Nodes. You could also build the C functions into a DLL and use a Call Library Function.
