Hi Kim,
There have never been any reports of bugs or problems with our serial communication VI's with the specific ASCII character "i". Also no reports about that character in general.
1. All the serial VI's are based on VISA, so you can always make sure that you have the latest VISA driver from our website:

2.You say that you have version 6.0? Did you install the 6.0.2 patch? If not, that would be a good idea too. There were some problems with String and Array functions that got fixed.
Download the patch from this link:

3. What do yo
u mean with "the serial ASCII output is giving you problems"? What kind of problems? What do you mean with bad lookup? What LabVIEW functions do you use? You need to be more specific.
4. If this is a serial issue,.. Do you have the same problem when doing a serial loopback test with the letter i? Try with the specific ASCII code or just with a normal string.
5. Can you attach a little program that reproduces the problem on your MAC? Please also send specific information about your OS, installed software,...
Regards.
