HI,
I am using PXI-8106, would like to check is there any possibility to use the USB port as COM port.
Currently when I connect the instrument Its showing as:
CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller "USB0::0x10C4::0xEA60::0001::RAW"
I am looking for a option COM 3 as we do have in My System.
Thanks,
Bharath

What OS are you running on the PXI-8186? If it is Windows, then I would expect a Windows driver that came with your USB-to-COM port device to work. If you are using an RT-OS, it would surprise me if it worked ... However, doesn't the 8186 have a COM port? I'm pretty sure I wired a DB9 cable into mine ... Yes, it's in the upper right corner of the Controller.
