How can I setup a com port connection (RS232) to relay ASCII formatted data to my PC

I am using a PIC 16F877 and MAX232.  I need to relay pressure readings from a 0-5V sensor to labview, but I dont know how to configure the VISA serial part correctly.  Is there something I am missing? I tried using MAX to configure my port, but it wont pop up under my devices tab, and I am not given the option to configure a new device.  Any help would be much appreciated, as deadlines keep moving, even if I do not :  (.
 
Thx a ton

Hello Killian:
 
The serial port settings is found on the "Port Settings" tab.
It is located at the bottom of the window.
In this tab, you can set the "Baud rate", "Data bits", "Parity", etc.
 
I hope this helps.  Please advice if you have any more questions.
