Labview: Send Data periodically and sequentially from ini file over com port

[aniketjha]

Hi,

I want 2 things from my vi:

> First, read the data from .ini file 

> Second, send the data to com port periodically and sequentially.

For example, in the ini file i have the data as 

data 1 - $GPRMC,123519,A,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,022.4,084.4,230394,003.1,W*6A

data 2 - $GPRMC,143724,A,2226.575,S,11955.982,E,0.000000,45.0,111217,005.0,E*64

data 3 - .

data 4 - .

data 5 - .

..... so on

Vi needs to send the data1 then data2 then data 3 every 1 second interval to the com port.

Any suggestions/examples are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi aniketjha,

1. Read this "ini" file as an array of lines

2. send those lines to the COM port in a loop

What exactly do you have problems with?

Did you start to create a VI?

Hi GerdW,

I created the vi to read ini file, but need help in sending those data periodically over port.

Here, is the snapshot of the vi for reading from ini file.

Hi aniketjha,

need help in sending those data periodically over port.

Just to give an idea:

Thanks Gerd for the heads up, for me i was also looking for how to retain the GPS coordinates as mentioned in ini file.

Now, i am able to simulate it successfully.
