Gunjan Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi everyone, I am new with LabVIEW. This is the first project I am doing. I want to use Labview as a Hyper Terminal, But I am unable to determine how do I open and Close Serial port before and after the session. So that the port is free for other applications. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Thanks Serial communication in LabVIEW works through the NI-VISA infrastructure. All the VIs you need can be found in the Instument I/O>Serial palette. You don't have to open the port (although you may need to configure it), but to close it you use Visa Close. You can probably find quite a few examples in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples). You should try looking up some tutorials to learn more about LV. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Take a look at Scott Hannah's Serial library; it already has a simple terminal emulator. http://sthmac.magnet.fsu.edu/labview/vi_library.html Neville. Quote Link to comment
