Error -1073807202 at Property Node in Visa Configure Serial Port

I am trying to communicate with a device through the serial port on my computer and keep getting error -1073807202. I have set the baud rate, data bits, stop bit and parity correctly to match the device. Does anyone know what this error means? There is no description for it. I am using LabView 7.1 and Windows XP. Thanks.

There is a description for it. You should be able to right click on your error out indicator and select Explain Error. The error means "A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded." Have you installed VISA? You should be able to find it listed in MAX. If you have installed it, youo just might want to uninstall and then install it again.

Hi mhester:

Dennis is absolutely correct and I agree that you should try to reinstall VISA if you already have it on your computer.

For a list of all of the VISA error codes, go to LabVIEW help and search for visa errors. Double click on VISA error codes and you will see all of the possible VISA errors.

Have a great day,
