Variant to Data shows anomaly with VISA resource name

[tleibner]

I identfied this piece of code to crash my LV7.1 app when running under 8.0 :headbang:

What it does is to retrieve the VISA resource name (COM1 in this case) from the variant data type as a string.

Any idea how to work around?

Thanks,

Thomas

A VISA resource will coerce to string. See the following illustration:

That simple & perfect. I owe you one :beer:

Thanks, Jim.
