Hello all,
I'm trying to run the Simple Serial.vi from the Serial.lvproj from the examples included in LabVIEW 2013. I am trying to connect to the COM1 port on my computer, which shows up on the windows Device Manager.
LabVIEW gives the following error:
"Error -1073807342 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi->Simple Serial.vi" with "Possible Reason: VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0012) Invalid resource reference specified. Parsing error."
I installed the VISA version 16 drivers and I can see the com port in the device manager and I can connect (and disconnect) from COM1 using Realterm (serial terminal program). The one thing that seems off is in NI MAX under Devices and Interfaces there is a line with a yellow warning symbol that says "No VISA resources found".
Do serial ports need to appear in NI MAX to be able to be used in LabVIEW? If so is there anything special I should do to get them to appear in MAX? I have a built in serial port as well as a USB serial port and I have been unable to move past this seemingly very simple step of recognizing and connecting to a serial port.
