I can I unlock the com port?

[Rafi2003]

Due to some mistake in my program (and aborting it in the middle), I'm now in a situation where the com port is busy.

I closed all the programs: TestStand, LabView and it's still busy

I look in the Windows Task Manager, and I see a LabVIEW.exe process still running.  I tried to end this process, but my request was denied.

I happens quite a lot and I end up resetting the PC. 

Is there any way to release the com port from this situation when it happens again?  Any tool from windows management?

Thanks

Rafi

Hello Rafi,

You can release the COM port by writing a simple LabVIEW vi.

This vi should contain a VISA Close.vi and you'll need to wire in the COM port as the input.

Let us know how this goes.

Thanks
