It doesn’t appear as though you actually setup the receive to look for a EOM character, whats the deal?
When I add a VISA configure serial port function, and try to add a constant for the termination character, all I can use are numbers. I double clicked it to open the VI and I can see I can also cycle through hex. However, it says "0xA = \n = LF". I'm not really sure what this means as I cannot input 0xA either, unless that is just "A" which I dont think so.

Next for your case issues you most likely still have the EOM character in the string you just can’t see it. Try using trim white space VI before case structure.
Thank you so much. The trim white space worked perfectly. How do you guys get so smart?

Lastly have you set up you device to look for a EOM character when you write to it? I am thinking this because of the “D\n” you have in your sting constant. If so, I think what you want to do is to right click you string constant and select “’\’ Code Display” and not “Normal Display” then type “D\n”. As of right now you are sending string D\n not D new line.
The device right now works, but there is something like a 10 second delay to send data to it. The code on the Arduino/Xbee testing device is
void loop()
{
inByte = XBSerial.read();
if (inByte == 'D')
{
digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
}
else if (inByte == 'E')
{
digitalWrite(9, LOW);
}
XBSerial.print("A \n");
delay(200);
XBSerial.print("B \n");
delay(200);
delay(10);
}
So it sends A and B rapidly, and basically looks for E or D to turn on/off the LED. I'm assuming this is just bad coding and that's okay for now.
I hope no one feels like they are doing this for me. This is 100% valuable learning information and I really appreciate it.
