Hi,
To what posting (the advise) are you refering to?. I don't know to what VI you are refering to ("NI RS Transceiver").
In any case, framing errors are caused by incorrect (mismatched) serial port setting between the two devices. This error is detected by the serial hardware, when the frames received do not match the expected frame format.
As for NI-Spy, chec the follwing
