how to get RS232 data from DAQ

[tmach]

Hello all,
I am using PCI-6503 digital DAQ card to send some TTL signals to my circuit. I receive RS232 data back from the circuit. Is there any way if I can read back this RS232 data from the same DAQ card and decode it in my Laview program!!

Thanks.

The easiest way to read back the serial data is through the COM port on your computer and VISA VIs in LabVIEW. The digital lines of the DAQ board can read TTL signals, but you would need to do the proper programming to convert these signals into the appropriate data. In LabVIEW (Help>>Find Examples) there are a few examples of serial communication to help you on your way. Good luck with your application.
