I think the Aero theme (Vista Windows7) is the most modern looking GUI.
Doesn't LabVIEW's welcome screen have a scrolling message with a link extolling the virtues of a flat UI?
"Evolving UI is more than just skeuomorphic to flat"?
Found a link whilst checking spelling.

Why would you think that changing LabVIEW version will change anything in respect to something which is in fact a system problem, that prevents VISA from accessing the serial port?
Or is this something else that doesn't work?
"It still doesn't work!" is a very imprecise error description.

Because we aren't sure about labview 2017 is a final version.
Ok, so now I have open visa ok! ----> write visa is fine.....when i try to read I have a timeout.

This is actually most often caused by the use of no or the wrong termination character in the command you write. Your device is not processing the command until it sees the desired termination character and therefore won't send any response.
Instead of trying to configure VISA to append that character automatically you should simply add it yourself to the string you connect to the VISA Write. If you use the VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi to initialize the serial port make sure that Enable Termination Char (T) is set to True however and the termination char has the right ASCII character code connected to it, so that VISA Read will terminate when receiving this specific character.

Actually I disagree - I think the direction that modernism is heading is favouring simplicity - less is more. Applies to almost everything now (cars, buildings, rooms, graphics designs etc)
I think vista was the worst of the kind - too bubbly and over the top. Windows 10 sits nicely now. Simple, easy to see and no ott flashy things. MacOSX also looks really nice.

We have all this fancy video hardware and we're being forced to look at CGA graphics.

That's why I think .Net is still a bad idea to use in an application. And even worse to add it to an environment like LabVIEW. ![]()
