I'd like to connect to a motor controller (Newport Conex CC) using serial port, but it requires baudrate to be 921600, however, the maximum allowed baudrate in OpenComConfig() is only 256,000. Is there a way around it.
By the way, I have tried hyper terminal and everything works fine with baudrate 921600

I can tell that the function viSetAttribute of the VISA library does work up to baud rates of 921600, I haven't tried it with OpenComConfig.
But others have, as you can see here: you can use higher rates as long as the driver itself (provided by the manufacturer of your port hardware) supports non-standard baud rates; the limit mentioned by you is only a limited selection of predefined values of the function panel.

@ Wolfgang, thanks a lot!
I tried to manually input 921600 in OpenComConfig, and it works.

Were you successful in creating a driver for the controller? I'm interested in purchasing a newport controller and I want to use it in labview

Yes, it has been working fine. I am using CVI by the way, LabView should work the same

That's encouraging news. Thank you!
