Ohaus Ranger 7000 serial communication

Hi,

I'm working on a VI to pull data from a commercial bench scale and store it inside an array until I get 10 readings, the thing is that I keep getting a 0 after each reading occupying an additional space in the array, I assumed its the LF and CR causing this problem but I haven't been able to remove it. I followed another post solution where a search and replace string was used but so far I couldn't make it work. Data on serial terminal and NI MAX looks fine. I'm attaching both my VI and a screen shot of putty terminal. Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

Regards,

Alberto.

Try using Trim Whitespace.  That should also get rid of the spaces it looks like you have before your number.

Hi Crossruiz,

Just added the trim whitespace and didn't solve the issue, I even try adding a string subset function after the trim whitespace and no improvement. Is there a way to limit what goes into the build array conditioned to values larger than zero?, something after the string to number function.

Thanks.

Alberto.

 Finally nailed it, I just had to change the enable termination Char to "F" in the  Visa Configure Serial Port.
