RS232 Visa session converted to IO

[labstew]

I was wondering if anyone has ever converted data written to a visa session back into a string or array of bytes.  Is this possible or just a pipe dream?

Thanks,

Andrew

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for. The VISA Write input called write buffer is a string. If you want to convert a string to an array of bytes, use the String to Byte Array function. You will often use this function on a VISA Read to convert the read buffer output.

Heh I did nt really think this through, I was converting someone elses program and confused by it......then I guess I was just bewildered in general for a little while.  Thanks for the response and the tip with the read buffer Dennis.
