[SEMAK]

hi to every one few days ago i had installed labview 7.0

and i have made  serial vi to read and write data from comport1 ,

i used visa resource name  to access the comport3F8 etc but thier is no  

comport and others port is visible ,and when i run it then following message appear "measurement automation is not installled"

Make sure you have Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and NI-VISA drivers installed.  These should all be located on the device drivers CD.

If VISA is properly installed, you should see COM1, and whatever Com ports you have installed in your system, both in MAX and in a VISA resource constant or control.  I'm not sure what you mean by comport 3F8.  That sounds like one of the old ways of referring to serial ports by way of their hardware address.  Its been years since I've seen that designation, I don't think it was information I ever really needed to know then, and I'm sure I've never seen it used in Labview.

THANKS FOR REPLY ,COMPORT 3F8 MEAN ADDERESS OF THE COMPORT COM1...

AND WHEN I HAD BEEN INSTALLING LABVIEW7. THIER IS NO OPTION TO INSTAAL THE MEASURMENT AUTOMATION (MAX) ETC

LabVIEW comes with a device driver CD (or multiple CDs) that has NI-VISA which is required for serial communication. MAX will also get installed.
