Send ASCII string

[Peter_Y]

I´m trying to communicate with a machine over ethernet and trying to figure out how to send ASCII symbols that you can´t type on the keyboard.

First string to send is "STX320ETX". Without qoutation and STX and ETX should be the ASCII symbols for STX and ETX not the text itself.

Trying to use the Instrument I/O Assistantfor this.

From ASCII table. 

STX = 002

ETX = 003 

How do I do this?

Hi Peter_Y,

you can use a U8 constant with 2 or 3 as value and "type cast" it to string.

So you can´t describe ASCII symbols directly in Instrument I/O Assistant? So Labview knows its supposed to send the ASCII symbol not the numbers.

Hi Peter_Y,

sorry, i didn't realized that you try to use it with the Instrument I/O Assistant and I can't check it at the moment.
