How to ensure received serial buffer completely read before stop

[ninermikezaa]

Hi,

     I have difficulties to ensure that all data in serial buffer are read before the program stop(after I push stop button). Help needed and appreciated. Thank you.

rgds,

It is kind of hard to tell you what is wrong without some code to look at.  I don't even have a frame of reference to help you.  What are you communicating with?  What is the communication protocol?  SHARE SOME CODE.

crossrulz,

       Thanks for your reply. The attached subvi is used in while loop to read data from a INS system via USB serial comm. I have continous data read from the bufffer but when I stop the program, meaning stop the while loop and later start again, the program gives the error of overrun.  I hoope this decribes...Thanks

If the instrument is constantly sending data, there is nothing your can do.  You have to tell the instrument to stop sending the data.

So, I have to send stop command to the instrument soon as I stop my program right? Ok Thanks I will do that.
