Read Serial Data

[LVCoder]

Dear All,
I am reading data from serial port which the VISA read function stores in a string buffer.
 is dere any way by which i can store the data in a string array as i want to access the data in bytes separately??

Thanks
Ritesh

You can acess each character seperately if you wire the string into a for loop and enable indexing.

Hi drewsky!

This solution was new for me, so I tried to wire a string into a for-loop, but I can't enable indexing (top of image). Can you specify what you mean? Do you mean a solution as showed on the bottom of the image??



Greetings,

Christian

Yeah that's what I meant.  I don't have LV on this comp, so I didn't try it ahead of time.

Will that work for you?

Is this what want to do ?

ritesh024,

You can enable indexing into and out of a FOR LOOP by right clicking on the input/output box at the boundary of the FOR LOOP.  In your case in the top FOR LOOP the pink incoming box.  Regards,  -SS

that's what I thought too, but I just tried it, and it won't allow it.  The software I am using right now is beta, so I could be wrong...  I'll double check at the office tomorrow...

LabVIEW 64-bit beta?  -SS

Thanks alot guys for your help.
That for loop solution works gr8.

and one more thing .. you cant do auto indexing for a string in for loop. you can only do it for an array..
so, u need to break the string into substrings for storing a string into array ..
