Binary data over Serial Port

[Marc Miller]

I have a need to read binary data over the serial port. I have written a routine that does the job but there are intermentant problems. After much troubleshooting I have found that when a binary 0X0A is received that it is striped off from the data. This is because durring the configure serial port VI a 0x0A is defined as a termination character. Is there any way to initialize the port with out specifing a termination character? In this binary data stream all possiable characters could be received.

If you are using VISA you can turn off the termination character, see the following post from a few days ago:

That is the answer! I made the change and it works great. Thanks!
