Did you mean: 

VISA, Continuously read data when available.

I have pressure measuring device which reads the pressure periodically and sends information every 250ms. I would like to read the data for about one and half hour or even for some more time. I wrote 2 programs for this operation

 

1. VISA Read and write every 250ms: Here I configure the settings then write and read data every 250ms. (This fails after some time).

2. VISA using events.

 

I have attached the  both programs. Would you suggest which one is appropriate for this operation or any further suggestions, improvements???

Thank you.

I'm posting from my phone so I can't view the VI.

What error do you get? If the instrument appends a termination character, all you should need is a VISA Read with some arbitrarily high byte count. No VISA Bytes at Serial Port, no events, and no wait.

What are you doing with the write?

Error message is : -1073807339.

 

I found out that there is no need of VISA write. As soon I open the VISA port and set the port configuration the data is available on the interface.

 

I did even tried the example from ni here and I have the same error.

A timeout error implies one of two possible issues:

1. Your instrument does not constantly send out data

2. You are using the wrong termination character.

What is the difference between the Serial Character and Serial TermChar  for the input: event type?

The Serial Character just means that something can into the serial port.  The Serial TermChar means that the Termination Character was found in the serial port.
