How to communicate with the instrument via USB to Serial converter using MAX?

Since it seems you already asked the question in the appropriate place, your posting here makes even less sense.

Ummm.. so... what was the issue, then? I'm thoroughly confused now.

just to clarify, the instrument that i am using is not the usual commercial instrument like Agilent, R&S, and other vendors. So there's no driver and others that i can search in the internet, the only information that i got from the maker of the instrument is the syntax or serial commands which are use to send instructions to the instrument and it is just a 4 liner serial commands,  and it is the same command that are use in the hyperterminal communcation.

If it's not an Agilent device why posting something on the Agilent forum anyway????

But if you know the syntax and serial commands, why not using good old Hyperterminal???

If you can communicate via Hyperterminal, send the same codes via e.g. "VISA Write vi" and it should also work.

He posted on the Agilent forum because he is using VEE.
