I am attempting to communicate with a Neslab Chiller. The instrument takes hexadecimal commands. In NI VISA Interactive Control I am able to communicate and get the correct responses back from the instrument. Unfortunately, when I attempt to communicate in labview using VISA read and write I keep getting a VISA read error (a timeout error) and the instrument cannot be controlled. I know there is some weird catch with having to different programs calling the same instrument, so I make sure every time to just labview open and not NI VISA Interactive Control. I also am very careful to match the baudrate, parity, last bit, and end mode for the read and write commands. I have attached images of the NI VISA Interactive Control Settings that were successful as well as my thus far unsuccessful labview vi. Please help me! Thank you in advance!

The backslashes seem to be wrong.... depending on the setup, this could lead to escaping.

What do you mean by escaping?
