Using the neslab instrument driver?

[McMurray]

Hi!  I'm trying to control my neslab water chiller w/ Labview 8.6, and I noticed that there's a instrument driver available (Non-NI driver).  Has anyone used this vi before?  If so, could help me figure out how to specify the port number?  The vi is expecting a numeric port number, but I wasn't aware that com ports had numeric specifications, only COM1, COM2, etc.  If anyone has any idea how to specify this, it would be a huge help!  Thanks!

We have some Neslab chillers, but berever used the driver, and if memory serves me correctly in the old days 0=COM1, 1=COM2, etc.

Give it a try, nothing will be damaged with the wrong number.
