I have an old thermocouple scanner that I would like to log data from at regular intervals using LabVIEW. After some searching I was able to find a data logging program that came with the scanner and it displays the data and allows the user to manually save a file of the logged data (I've attached an example output file from that program). With the program I also got a file that gives a description of the serial communication methodology (attached) that says the data is full duplex,1 start bit, 7 data bits, one odd parity bit, one stop bit at 19,200 bits per second, and <XON> or <XOFF> handshaking. So I tried to use that information with a vi that I edited from another forum post (see attachment) but I get the "Error -1073807339 occurred at VISA Read in While loop test.vi, VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed" message. I'm a LabVIEW newbie and any help on why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated.
