LabVIEW arduino communication using VISA

[vanashree]

i have attached my DAC08 program interfaced using arduino.when i command from serial monitor from arduino DAC responds means arduino prog is ok. but when  i command from LabVIEW it doesnt. i dont want to use LIFA. i just wnt to use VISA to pass stuffs to my arduino upon selection and my arduino to be programmed as to when ever a particular hex string is recieved from visa which corresponding hex code should be routed to the device.labview interfacing is not achieved.

i couldnt attach the .ino file of arduino prog. so i am copy pastin the same here

and print screens of block dia of labview

stay on topic at the original

no that was adifferent prog.n now m trying something different.this is just a simple comm between labview and arduino for DAC08 only. kindly help me to rectify my prog and donot say to follow the earlier comm in which i was askiing about some OK button and not comm problem

[vanashree]

still if u feel i shud post on it i will.but i want answer

[vanashree]

what is the problem?is it in my arduino code or in my ivsa code?

my arduino code is here:

#include <SPI.h>
#include "htoi.h"
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
DDRC = 0xff;
}

void loop()
{
char a = Serial.read();
switch(a)
{
case '1':
PORTC = 0xFF; //THESE VALUES CAN BE VARIED AS YOU WANT
break;
case '2':
PORTC = 0x00;
break;
case 'C':
PORTC = 0xC0;
break;
case 'D': //MORE CASES CAN BE ADDED FOR TESTING IF REQUIRED
PORTC = 0xD0;
break;
//default:
//PORTC = 0x00;
}
}

and in htoi file where hex code once recvd from visa and the according case in the arduino is here:

int ten(char tens)
{
switch(tens)
{
case '0':
return 0;
case '1':
return 16;
case '2':
return 32;
case '3':
return 48;
case '4':
return 64;
case '5':
return 80;
case '6':
return 96;
case '7':
return 112;
case '8':
return 128;
case '9':
return 134;
case 'A':
return 160;
case 'B':
return 176;
case 'C':
return 192;
case 'D':
return 208;
case 'E':
return 224;
case 'F':
return 240;

}
}

int unit(char units)
{
switch(units)
{
case '0':
return 0;
case '1':
return 1;
case '2':
return 2;
case '3':
return 3;
case '4':
return 4;
case '5':
return 5;
case '6':
return 6;
case '7':
return 7;
case '8':
return 8;
case '9':
return 9;
case 'A':
return 10;
case 'B':
return 11;
case 'C':
return 12;
case 'D':
return 13;
case 'E':
return 14;
case 'F':
return 15;
}
}

int htoi(char tens, char units)
{
int a = ten(tens);
int b = unit(units);
int sum = a + b;
return sum;
}

WHAT IS WRONG IN LABVIEW OR IN ARDUINO? 

I NEED HELP URGETLY
