VISA read loses connection

[KarthikMurali]

I am new to Labview, kindly help me solve this error. I am writing a code for 3 axis system. The VISA resource read file in the code loses its (serial) connection and re establishes after sometime. I am using an RS232 cable. I couldn't understand what is the problem. Please help

You might be confusing the device since you are writing and reading in multiple loops.  At the very least, make a VI that will write and optionally read from your device and use that VI for all of your communications.  The VI will act as a Semaphore (lock) to ensure that the write-read process cannot be interrupted.

Yeah I will write a vi with write and read and try using it in my program. I hope it works. Thank you.

I do not know how to make an optional read. Can you kindly help ?

I am still experiencing a problem even after I optionally read it. I checked the VISA interactive control and it said that the "resource is valid and the visa cannot access it" . How can I rectify this ?
