rs485 RFID examples

[alex-han]

Hi.

I am new to labview and I am tasked to write a vi for reading and saving rfid tags detected by the RFID reader.

The reader uses rs485 communication. I used an rs485 to usb conventer to connect it to my PC.

Can anybody please point to some example vi that I can use to jump-start my development.

The tags are active tags with 8 hex characters.

Thanks a lot in advance.

It depends on the USB to RS485 converter that you are using. If it enumerates as a COM port you can use the Serial Port vi's existing in LabVIE. It is very easy and there are working examples to receive and send strings(ASCII)..
