Yes, ive done it, and it lists all serial ports in the device. Ive connected mesurement device to COM7 and because the resource name is ASRL7::INSTR. I am using now, the example VI. I gave 500ms delay, to have time to read the input. But the program indicates, that theres is no byte or string on the input...

Are you sure your cable is 100% correct 😉 For PC to PC communication you need a null modem cable or crossed cable. Google Null modem cable. In its simplest form with all handshake turned of you only need to use pin 2,3 and 5 You may also connect pin 2 and 3 together on a simple plug to dreate a loop back test

Yes i am sure the cable is good, because its from the mesurement devices's distributor, and with that program what they gave its working. I checked the states of the cable lines, and its indicates which lines are asseted or not. The "only" problem is that the input string and bytes cant be read
