[vinay1]

i need to connect my electronic hardware/instrument with labview serial visa. i need to enter multiple entries as input like frequencies, data patterns in binaries. but labview serial write accepts only single string as input. pls suggest how should i proceed?

Hi vinay,

what's wrong with "single string input"?

Strings can be as long as you like them to be.

You can use a loop to process an array of strings.

You can do all you like as LabVIEW is a PROGRAMMING tool!

It really depends on the command format your instrument wants.  Some instruments will let you insert a semicolon between commands and write the one long string.  Others will require separate writes.  I would use a FOR loop in this case (iterate on an array of strings).
