Simple Serial Communication Hello there, I`m working on a project which involves me having to control a large number of servo's via a serial servo controller board. It's a very simple board which communicates using simple ascii commands. I`ve tried running the examples associated with serial communication but none of them work. No devices are detected which I can link to the VISA rescource name. In matlab I can connect to the board quite easily using two simple commands: port = serial('com6','BaudRate',19200)fopen(port)I would assume this would be almost trivial in Labview but so far I have failed misserably. A possible source for the error would be that I`m running the student edition of labview v7.0 and it doesn't even include MAX (or if it does I haven't found it yet). Do I need another version of Labview (if so which ?) or am I forgetting something critical in the examples ?

Re: Simple Serial Communication I don't believe that the student edition comes with any drivers. If nothing shows up in the VISA Resource Name control, you just probably need to install <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/988/lang/en" target="_blank">NI-VISA</a>.
