I have a device that outputs data via RS232 approximately once per second. The device has a built in FTDI FT232R chip to pretending to be USB.
At the moment I am trying to just read the data as it is streamed from the device, I know that the device is working correctly because I can open the serial port in PuTTY and see the data correctly.
However labview generates an IO error (-1073807298), only when the device is sending data. If I turn off the device then Labview opens the port without issue then the VISA read times out as expected. So Labview/VISA clearly has an issue with the data that is being transmitted. The PuTTY log shows that there are NUL characters within the data which I think is the problem.
This is an extract from the log which shows the data being received.
I have spent the last 3 days reading knowledge base articles and through the forums, there has to be something simple I am missing.
The VI is attached, this is not going anywhere near the final project, I am just trying to read the serial data at this point.
