Hi to all,
I'm newbie with Labview 8.5, I'm viewing some example to connect serial port with VISA blocks. I see that these examples use a VISA Resource Name control to define the resource (example selecting COM1) but after they don't use Visa Open block to open a VISA session with the device, but they use directly the sequence "VISA write - VISA read - VISA Close" blocks. Why don't they use VISA open session to open a session with device?
I read in help that VISA Resource Name contains some informations on resource and it maintains VISA session also, instead VISA session is a unique identifier, I think that when I create new Visa Resource name Control, Labview automatically open a session with this resource, so it isn't necessary to use VISA Open block to create the session, isn't it?
best regards
