Hello Robby,
In order for you to force your serial port read to detect the carriage return you need to create 3 properties from your visa open vi.
1)Serial settings property->serial end mode for read (set it to 2 or create a constant of termination charater)
2)Message based settings property ->termination charater enable ->make it true
3)Message based settings property->termination charater property (set ascii value to 13 -
Table of ASCII characters and their code equivalents)
I am attaching a simple vi which illustrates the implementation of the above steps.
Let me know if you have any further qu
estions.
Good luck and have a great day!
