What functions should I use to read from a RS-422 serial port?

Solved!

I am trying to read a continuos strem of three numbers from an anemometer connected via RS-422. What is the simplest way to read these in LabVIEW? Also would it be easy to seperate these numbers andplot them separetly against time?

 

Chers

There 422 network operations is hit and miss at best. We decided to use their hardware to convert rs-232 to rs-422 but only use one intrument on each 422 network. We are using a seperate serial port for each instrument so we don't have a need to poll the unit. I just configured them to operate in a default mode where they repeatedly send out their status message. The default mode also transmits each of the three (if you are using the 3-axis models) reading for the speed.

 

When opearting in this mode and configuration, all I have to do is frame the data and parse out the update.

 

This screen shot should show you everything you need to get started.
