Sending an ESC code using the serial port

[agomez]

I have a motor control aplication that requires sending an ESC character using the serial port. LabView has several built-in functions (end of line, line return, etc.) but I just do not know how to send this particular code using the serial port. Any ideas?

The hex code for ESC character is 1b, Try writing it in a 8 bit unsigned number and then change that byte to charachter using labview function "byte Array to string". In this way you can pass this charachter.

agomez,

"esc" is the same as a hex "1B".  Place a string constant on your block diagram.  Right click on it and select "Hex Display".  Now enter a "1B" and wire that to a VISA Write.
