Framing error on seriell port

Hi,
I am trying to read data from the seriell port. I doesn't know exactly
the correct setting for communication with the external device, but I
know, I use the correct baud rate.
My problem is, I get from the "Bytes atseriell port.vi" the error 4008h
(framing error). What is the meaning of this error? Any suggestions? I
read 2 bytes more from the port, then I should. This is independent from
the string length.
Regards
Ralf

Thank's.
I tryed this and so
lved the problem. Another type of parity and 2 stop
bits, this was all.

  • Error -1073807253 occurred at VISA Read in transient SR830.vi VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF006B) A framing error occurred during transfer.

    Hi,
    I am have written a program with labview to make transient c-v measurement using a stanford research SR830 lockin amplifier. The program seems to be runing fine, but sometimes it is givvibg an error:
    Error -1073807253 occurred at VISA Read in transient SR830.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF006B) A framing error occurred during transfer.
    Error -1073807253 occurred at VISA Read in transient SR830.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF006B) A framing error occurred during transfer.
    but if I press ok, the program again starts running. What might be the poblem? BTW I googled a bit and I see that in the labview topic "RS-232 Framing Error with HP 34401A Mulitmeter" by pkennedy32 this is what is said about framing error:
    ""Framing Error" in an RS-232 context means a very specific thing - when the receiver was expecting a stop bit, the line was not in SPACE condition. This can be the result of:
    1... Baud rate mismatch (although other problems would likely crop up first).
    2... Data Length problem, If I send 8 data bits and you expect 7, the stop bit is in the wrong place.
    3... Parity setting mismatch - If I send 7 data bits + parity and you expect 7 data bits and no parity, the stop bit is in the wrong place.
    4... Mismatch in # Stop bits - If I send you 7 Data bits + parity + one stop bit, and you expect 7 data bits + parity + TWO stop bits, the second one might not be correct, although most devices do not complain about this.
    But, I must say that this is the same com port setting that I use to measure c-v hysterysis, but I never gt this error there.
    I attach the program herewith for your kind perusal. Please help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    @Dennis Knutson  you are right I checked the read indicator in backslash mode, and instead of a \n it is sending \r. So I changed the \n in my write strings to \r. But, if I keep the CLOSE VISA outside my loop instead of inside as you suggested, the termination character appears to come in the middle of the read string instead at the end. And since the read terminates at the \r so it is displaying some junk value before the \r, but if I put the CLOSE VISA outside the loop and play along with the bytes at the read buffer, I see the whole read string with the \r  at the end of the string. But, whenever the values are in exponential form (when close to zero) like 6.938839 e-5, I always get a time out error whatever be the timeout that I put at the VISA initialize. And subsequently, if I stop the program and run it again the machine program hangs and I donot get any reading. Then after I close it again and start, sometimes it hangs for some more or starts working. If I put an arbitrarily large byte count at the READ VISA, then I always get the time out before the operation completed error.
    @ Ravens Fan I have removed the CSAC VI altogether and taking the CH! And CH” reading separately, instead as one string. So, no more issues with that.
    I use the control at the delay so that I can choose how much delay I want to set, and I use the math operation because I am using adding up the delay time to keep track of the time elapsed. Because in the end I have t plot a time vs. CH! And CH” readings.
    I am not sure but probably I am making some silly errors. Please help me out.

  • Framing error

    I have a device (TSI flow meter)  that reads data every 10 ms and updates the display. It also sends the data over a serial bus at 38400 baud 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop, and no flow.  I have the device pluged into a serial to usb converter  ( serialgear).   If I use the simple "visa read/write.vi" that ships..by the way I still have LV7.1, w Labview I get a framing error after 2 or 3 trys w the delay before reads set to 500 ms.  If I increase the delay to 1 sec it looks like it can go on for ever.  Problem is I can't wait 1 sec.  I need around 20, 30 or so msec for my data to be meaningful.  Any thoughts/suggestions??

    Does it work with Hyperterm or another app?
    Any chance you can try plugging it in to a "real" com port? Those USB things can be flakey. I understand that you are probably using it because you don't have a real RS232 port. But is there another computer you can try it on? I know what a pain. But those USB converters usually are.

  • I am getting a framing error when running a VI via RS-232. Any thoughts?

    I have a Keithley 2700 multi meter and am trying to get its IDN. I am getting error number 800, on the multimeter, back when running the VI

    A framing error indicates that you don't have the same serial parameters set the same on the pc and on the instrument. Double check baud rate, parity, data bits, and flow control and make sure they match.

  • How do i get rid of the the framing error

    Hello,
    I am a student working on a Pulse Oximeter and i am supposed to send sample values to Labview via the RS232 serial configuration. I am able to view the data in VISA but i am unable get the graph running constantly. There is always a framing error(-1073807253) whenever i run the VI and the graph only appears for a few seconds before the whole VI halts to display the error. How do i get rid of the error. I am only sending 8 bits of data. I have even tried using even the most simplest program whereby i send only characters A & C and even then i am getting the framing error. Please help me, i am in need of urgent and desperate help. I am sending these cahracters from the PIC16F877 using assembly language and i have attached the code to this forum thread. I have even tried making use of 9 bit transmission and parity bits and nothing seems to work for me. Please provide me with some help and suggestions. Have a look at my program and VI and sugggest some solutions as soon as possible. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Four things to check when having problems with serial com:
    1. Make sure the baud rate matches the device.
    2. Make sure the parity bit matches the device.
    3. Make sure the number of stop bits matches the device.
    4. Look for buffer overruns if you do not use flow control.
    Like CC said, using Hyperterminal will verify that you are getting good responses from your device. If it runs fine for a while, then you start getting errors, the most likely cause is buffer overruns. You will have to use flow control to prevent this from happening. You will have to know what type of flow control your device supports, hardware flow control (RTS-CTS), or software flow control (XON-XOFF).

  • How to read a seriell port with VISA correctly?

    Hello
    I have the following system: A Nanovoltmeter from Agilent, modell 34420A, LabVIEW 7.1 and XP as operative system on the computer. The voltmeter reads 1024 readings and store them in the internal memory. By using a command I can collect the readings via the GPIB or seriell port. I use the seriell port. Therefore I use the VISA routines in LabVIEW. I configure the seriell port, read the number of bytes at the port and finally read the data from the voltmeter. Everything works, except that I found out it doesn't collect all the readings. I tried using Waits between sending the command and reading the data. It doesn't help much. I tried then the VISA session in the NI-Measurement & Automation program. I couldn't collect all the data by just one Read command. I had to use at least two or three Read commands to collect all the data. I wonder, if I use the routine to get the number of bytes at the seriell port of the instrument shouldn't I get the whole number of readings stored in the instrument? I tried using a high fixed number, reading more data than available. I got more data but still not all 1024 readings.
    Normally I use GPIB communication but I start wondering if there might be a similar problem.
    Regards

    Hi Maddin,
    You can place your read vi into a while loop that monitors (after a brief delay) if there is still data in the serial buffer. The loop would be wired to the vi which checks for serial data. Unfortunately, I do not have LV installed on this machine, so I cannot tell you the names of the vi's to use. But I'm sure you get the picture.

    It is showing this error and the idoc is not posting to the SAP. When i checked out the IDX2 i am not getting any such structure of our IDOC type, So do i need to create the structure manually, or will it create automaticallywhen the idocs willposted .
    Is there any import and export option for this.
    Please treat this as urgent , thanks in advance...

    Hi Jay,
    how did you create port using IDX1 ,I think you must have to follow the naming convention there.Any user given name might not work.
    I think in your case , create port as SAPRP1 using IDX1.
    can you you give a try  with that.port name exactly same as SAPRP1.
    you may also refer this link

    Please find attached my Vi. I have reduced the amount of registers taht were originally read from 50 down to 20 and increased time delays which seems to have removed the error code problem.

    The device that I am trying to communicate with has detected a error
    condition and it transmitting error messages galore. The device
    comminucates via COM12 at a baud rate of 260417. 
      Amy ideas what BFFF0068 means?

    A framing error can also be due to a driver configuration error, such as a baud rate mismatch.  Since you are using a non-standard baud rate of 260417, this is probably the cause.  Since you are using COM12 as your resource, I assume you are using an add-in serial board.  Make sure your board supports the baud rate you are trying to use.
    Here's a KB that talks more about framing errors:

  • Chartread: Error - icoms - usb_is_usb_portno: port number out of range!

    Hello.  This is the error I get on my iMac Lion using an i1Pro spectrometer and the latest Argyll ICC software.  Chartread is the sub program for reading printed color targets.
    chartread: Error - icoms - usb_is_usb_portno: port number out of range!   
    Q. 1 I can't figure out how to fix this and I have no X-Rite software remaining on my computer. 
    Q. 2 How do I get a list of usb devices (in terminal?) and if I can do that can I assign a new number to that device?

    Without the KVM the results are the same, except that using the fallback grub entry shows the console but X fails to start
    (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected.
    (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
    (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
    The same happens if I load the i915 module
    MODULES=(i915 !vesafb !uvesafb !vboxdrv)
    If I load the i915 and use
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=795 i915.modeset=1
    the console still is unusable, but X boots
    And I still see the
