Visa Serial Communication via Serial port COM# is unreliable

[MiguelReyes110115]

Hi!

Yes. I did the configuration recommended, however, there is a slower communication than last configuration.

I need to have a fast serial communication continuously! How to achievement a fast serial communicaction e.g (50ms per iteration from reading mode)

I attached a few pictures

1. You can remove the wait in that loop.

2. You should remove the Serial Monitor and the related Concatenate String and shift register.  When you constantly add to a string, this becomes a slow memory allocation over time.

3. I would replace your XY Graph with a simple Chart.  This way you don't have the ever-growing array issue, which can really slow down your loop.  And the Chart also keeps a history (defaults to 1024 samples).  So this would also remove the need for the Build Arrays and shift registers.

4. There is a primitive called Increment that does the +1.  This will save you some space and make things more readable.

5. There is a primitive called Empty String/Path? that you should also look at using instead of comparing a string to an empty string.

 1.- I use the wait to wait for Arduino to exit boot loader.

2.- I have a GUI, where It's necessary to have the serial monitor for the history of the user commands.

3. I will replace the XY Graph with a simple Chart.

4. the primitive called Increment helps me to create a Index of the History into .txt file.

To be honest, I have used the last configuration and runs better than this but, my last configuration some times breaks the serial communication. So, I sent the topic : Visa Serial Communication via Serial port COM# is unreliable.

I attached a pic of the front panel.

Thank you!
