Serial Communication

I'm trying to write a labview interface to program a KDS 230
(www.kdscientific.com) infusion pump. It communicates via standard
RS232 can I can succesfully give it commands (and make quereys) when
using hyperterminal with the following settings:

BPS: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

Emulation: VT100
Input Translation --> Select Host System Encoding Method: Shift-JIS
ASCII Setup --> Sending --> Line delay: 100ms, Char. Delay: 100ms
--> Receiving --> Append line feeds to incoming line ends

These are the settings that are described in the manual and the
settings on the pump system match these. How can I use labview to send
commands to the pump? I've been trying to use "VISA Write" but to no
avail. Any help wo
uld be appreciated,

Sam Johnson

Before you use VISA Write, use VISA Configure Serial Port. Look at the serial port examples that ship with LabView 6 and 7.
