PXI & LabVIEW : serial and ethernet communication

[Etienne.p]

Dear all,

Since recently, I am working with a PXI for my acquisitions. It is the first time I'm using LabVIEW RT to build a VI.

I understood how to use shared variables and create separate VIs for supervision and RT target, but I have got used to build communication between a device and an acquisition center using basics SubVI to configure, write, read, and close this communication.

My question is : do this kind of SubVI exist for a PXI? I need to build communication between the PXI and devices that mostly communicate throught serial protocol (RS232 and RS422) and TCP/IP protocol.

The PXI configuration I use is as follows : 

- Controller : NI-PXIe-8820

- Serial communication : NI-PXIe-8431/8 & Ni-PXIe-8430/8

- Ethernet communication : NI-PXI 8231

Thank you in advance for your response and your help

Yours Sincerely

Etienne

For PXI-8430 and 8431, you need NI-Serial driver and make sure to install RT component of the driver as well onto your Windows PC to properly recognize the device.

For PXI-8231 what are you using that for? If you are using that for GigE camera, you need to install NI-IMAQdx or Vision Acquisition Software.

For controlling RS-232 and RS-422, you need NI-VISA driver as well.
