set stop bit contents in labview

[David HD]

Hi,

I want set stop bit 1or 0 for special use for PC communication with one istrument via serial com port ,

it's possible to do like that in labVIEW to control com port ?

and how to read this information (stop bit or parity bit)

Thanks in advance!

I may be wrong, but I don't think you could do this in Labview or any programming language.  Stop bits are a key part of making sure the two devices communicating know when a byte is finished and is done at the hardware level, if there was a way to manipulate the stop bit to be 1 or 0, the communications scheme would fall apart.

Likewise for a parity bit.  Though you do have one choice.  If you are trying to use parity in a 7-even-1 scheme where you are only sending 7 bit data, you could set up both devices to be 8-none-1 and manipulate the 8th bit to be whatever you want.
