visa configure serial port

[works]

hello kind stranger,

new to labview. Could someone explain in detail what does the 'visa resource name' and 'visa resource name out' are.

They are references to the VISA resource.  Not sure what else you need.

Please forgive me Tim but that reply could get you a job writing the help for LV.

This link to Wikipedia VISA may be helpful.

If you have NI VISA and NI MAX  (National Instruments Measurement & Automations Explorer) installed you should be able to see any of the serial interfaces installed in your computer. These can include USB- Serial adapters. Then, in LabVIEW the reference referred to by crossrulz will allow you to identify for the visa configure serial port which serial (COM) port you are configuring.
