If you can't reach your serial device with LabVIEW or Hyperterm
Some pitfalls I happened to see time by time:
- If you have notebook: booting without line power switch off the power to the COMports.
- Palm Hotsync likes to grep the ports on start-up
- Using USB-RS232 boxes: Your COM port number depends on the USB address (USB port and hubs in between)
- Your OS identifies your serial device on boot up as a mouse or whatever system-device : plug it in after boot up
You can try a VISA find to look for reachable COMs (see help)
