Reads the specified number of bytes from the device or interface specified by VISA. This write the data from write buffer terminal.

This icon initailzes the serial port specified by VISA resource terminal according to the settings given through its terminal. After arranging them in proper sequence connect them using wires. Now just collect the blocks one by one and place it on blockdiagram. A snapshot of the steps taken to collect all the icons from library are shown below. Now in LabVIEW you have to just pick and place all the icons from library to block diagram. the loop function runs over and over again foreverĪfter installing the labVIEW just open a new VI. set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port initialize digital pin 13 as an output. the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board SoftwareSerial mySerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin) In this code serial monitor will always display zero but in case 1 is given as input it will display one To know about serial communication in LabVIEW you can go through tutorial given here Programmingīelow you can find the test code to check the serial communication using LabVIEW. USB to serial converter Serial Communication in LabVIEW This opens the door for creating hybrid systems that make the best and most cost effective use of multiple bus types all used in one test system.ģ. It also allows the generation of code that can be moved from one platform to another or from one bus type to another with little or no overhead in the change. It gives developers the ability to easily create code to communicate with any instrument, over any bus, on most operating systems in use today.
#LABVIEW SERIAL COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE#
NI-VISA is a software API that greatly reduces the development time of test and measurement systems. How to Downloadįrom here you can download the evaluation version of LabVIEW if you dont have licensed one Requirements Originally released for the Apple Macintosh in 1986, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of operating systems (OSs), including Microsoft Windows, various versions of Unix, Linux, and macOS. The graphical language is named "G" not to be confused with G-code. Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments. Our lab is having licensed version of LabVIEW 2013. I will be using LabVIEW to make an application that will interface with my input board made in previous assignment. This weeks assignment is to make an application that can interface with input/output devices and also to compare them with other application LabVIEW
