You need to supply a file to save the data to.  For the Bytes to Read, just wire that to the Bytes At Port.  I would also make sure the serial port is NOT configured to have a termination character.  And you shouldn't have a While loop around this code.  You only need to send that file once.

Hi ummy,

 

to "save in location of another PC" you need to execute this code on that other PC!

One PC acts as sender/server, the ohter PC acts as receiver/client. Both need appropriate software to handle communication...

Best regards,

You need the appropriate run time engine and any hardware drivers (i.e. NI-VISA).
