How to read from 4 serial ports
Hi
Does anyone know how to read from 4 COM ports with only 2 interupts? I can
manage it by using Close serial driver.vi, however this makes the amount of
allocated memory by Labview increase throughout my experiment and thereby
slows down the computer. I use Labview 4.0.1 on Win95.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply however I could able to write the PCR to read one variable without wagetype. My question is, I have 6 variables in VAR table and now I want to read all the variable and based on the variable I need to create the 6 wagetype each for each variable.
I know to create the wagetype with one variable.

However, how I could create the only 1 PCR for 6 variable?

A problem about reading from serial port
Hi,
I just sent '0x03' from MCU to PC continuously, and then sent '/n' as a stop character after every '0x03'. I use labview to read the data. The problem is when it get two '03' it get a '0', another two '03' and another a '0'. I don't know where is the '0' from?
PS: Hyper terminal can display natrually.
Thank you!

serial read.vi 36 KBI think the problem may be the loop reading the serial port is running too fast. There is no timing delay in the loop, so you are reading it as fast as you can, and probably faster than the device is sending data. So sometimes the buffer is empty, and then the empty string gets converted to a numeric zero. The way to know for sure is to put an indicator on the error wire coming out of the serial port read. I bet you will see errors about the read buffer being empty.
Put a wait timer in the loop to slow down the execution just slightly. This is a good idea so that LV doesn't eat up all the CPU resources. Look at the example for Basic Serial Write and Read. You may want to have a loop ahead of the read that waits until there are a certain number of bytes at the port before it reads the serial port. You may want to put a loop around the serial port that waits until a valid number is read in before it exits the loop and goes to the numeric conversion.

Efficient optimized way to read from serial port and GPS data display using map
Hi,
I have a custom h/w which reads the data from GPS Rx and after parsing send it to PC over RS232.
Each second it sends 201 bytes to PC. I have developed a VI to read the GPS data and display it. Project file is attached.
Fulctionality of different loops are as following:
1. LOOP 1: 1.1 Reads the serial data from com port.
1.2 Synclonize the frame using start bytes "a" and "z".
1.3 Reads next 4 bytes containg receiving error information.
1.4 Reads next 195 bytes. in which initial 80 byes are GPS data. rest are others.
2. LOOP 2: 2.1 Extarcts the GPS information and put them in an array.
2.2 Extarcts the receive error infor and counts the total error by incrimenting the variable using shift reg.
3. LOOP 3:3: 3.1 Displays the GPS data in chart and log the data in a file.
4. FLOW : Uses the GMAP .NET based API to creat a MAP and display.
Problem statement:
1. Functionality acheived.
2. However in between data set is being missed by the programm.
Quesitions:
1. Is the developed VI is efficient in terms of using queue loacl variables etc.
2. What are the improvments I can do to solve the problem.
Any other suggestions|
Thank you

Telemetry_Receiver_v2.zip 3075 KBOne of the most common problems in serial communication is the need for an adequate timing: how much time is expected your device to spend before answering? Have you put and adequate pause in your code before reading from the serial port?
Hope this helps

Plot more than one analog value to a waveform chart by reading from Serial Port
I have 4 LDRs and I want to plot their values to a waveform chart by reading them from the serial port. I have looked around and found an example of a VI plotting one value to a waveform chart (attached below) but I am unsure about how to expand this for 4 different waveforms, mostly because I don't particularly understand the way is being read currently. If someone could either point me in the way of a relevant example or explain/show me a solution, or explain howthe current VI I have works, that would be greatly appreciated.

LDRread.vi 20 KBSince I assume each LDR (whatever that is) has its own serial connection, you will need to read from 4 different serial ports. From there, just form an array of all the data and write to the chart.

Computer freezes while reading from serial port
My computer freezes when i tried to read from a serial port for a longer period of time such as 10 hours. I always close the serial port after reading. please, help me solve this problem
I too experienced a similar problem twice on my machine and I have no idea how to stop it because it is so intermittent and I cannot replicate it.
Perhaps I can offer some clues.
The Labview screen cannot be stopped and some parts of Windows appears frozen. Oddly enough I can switch to the block diagram but thats about all I can do. The LV stop button will indicate a mouse click on it but the VI does not stop. iT also cannot be closed.
Even the reset button and power button on the PC does not work. I am forced to power down the PC (pull the plug) to get back control.
I believe it is related to a visa call to my serial Balance.
ANyway no solution but hopefully some clues.

Function for reading from serial port
Hi experts,
We are trying to read data from the serial port with the following function we got from internet.
The problem is when creating the object with the sentence CREATE OBJECT o_obj '"MSCOMMLib.MSComm.1"'.
This returns a sy-subrc = 2 and shows the exception NO_CREATE_OBJECT.
We already copied the file MSCOMM32.OCX in c:\windows\system32 and we successfuly registered it, with regsvr32.exe.
We tried it with Windows XP and Vista.
Anybody has any idea?

Controlled reading from serial port
I'm trying to establish a connection to an external device through the serial port. This is done in a while-loop which sends an association request tries to get a response if a response is not recieved a new rewuest is sent, etc. At the moment this procedure does not work. I am considering two explanations for this. The first is that the loop does not wait long enough for a response to come and simply keeps pumping out requests, the other is that there is something wrong with the reading algorithm, that doesn't let it properly take in information from the serial port.
Solved!

read_visa.GIF 8 KBI made a new version of the read case. The old version was a while loop, the new version is a while loop which will go on until it encounters an EOF character. In this case it is
0xC1 or 'Á'. I thought the old version would break before getting any message. This doesnt get any signal either. I have probed it, and it doesn't get a string from which to take the length.

HI,
I need to read data from virtual serial (rfcomm - BT GPS receiver). I connect to my gps using system command:
[root@localhost ~]# rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
and this creates port at /dev/rfcomm0, when I do :
[root@localhost ~]# cat /dev/rfcomm0
I get:
M,0.0,0000*76
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,50.0,50.0,50.0*05
$GPRMC,000009.999,V,0000.0000,N,00000.0000,E,,,101102,,*17

$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,50.0,50.0,50.0*05
and the only problem is what to do to read this sequences via java application. I obtained package comm2.0.3.zip , but have no idea what next. I would be grateful for any help.

How to save a datas from serial port?
How to save a datas from serial port?
Hi
I need some help about rs-232 communication. I want to make a vi witch can do this things:
-read a txt file (to simulate a serial port like when the datas are coming)
i will get 3 different data in serial port (like this: 121 213 135)
i want to save in a txt file what datas get my vi
so
-write in a txt file or draw in a diagram (or both)
so my problem is: read in serial port and save in a file and draw a diagram.
if anybody can help pls HELP ME because im a beginner in this problem.
I already do something but Im not sure that good.
Thx for all. -
Problem while reading data from Serial Port
Hi All,
I am facing some problem while reading data from Serial Port.
As per the requirement I am writing the data on Serial Port and waiting for response of that data.
Notification for data availabilty is checked with method public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) of javax.comm.SerialPortEventListener.
When we are writing data on the port one thread i.e. "main" thread is generated and when data availability event occures another thread "Win32SerialPort Notification thread" is generated. This creates problem for me as we can't control thread processing.
So can anybody pls explain me how to overcome this problem?
Regards,
NehaMy Problem is:-
I am simoultaneouly wrting data on port & reading data from port.
First I write data on port using outputStream.write() method. Now when target side sends me response back for the request on serial port DATA_AVAILABLE of SerialPortEventListner event occured,we are reading data from serial port.Now till the time we didn't get the response from target next command can't be written on the serial port. When we are writing data on port main thread is executed.Now my problem starts when DATA_AVAILABLE event occured.At this point another thread is created.Due to this my program writes data of next command without reading response of previous command.To solve this prob. I have used wait() & notify() methods as follows.But again due to this my pc hangs after execution of 2 commands. (PC hang in while loop in a code provided below.)
From SOPs I could figure it out that after 2 commands we are not able to write data on serial port so DATA_AVAILABLE event doesn't occure n pro. goes in wait state.
Can anybody help me to solve this issue.
Neha.
Code:
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event)
switch (event.getEventType())
case SerialPortEvent.BI:
case SerialPortEvent.OE:
case SerialPortEvent.FE:
case SerialPortEvent.PE:
case SerialPortEvent.CD:
case SerialPortEvent.CTS:
case SerialPortEvent.DSR:
case SerialPortEvent.RI:
case SerialPortEvent.OUTPUT_BUFFER_EMPTY:
break;
case SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE:
try
dataThread = Thread.currentThread();
dataThread.setPriority(10);
dataAvailable = true;
byte[] tempArray=new byte[availableBytes];
inputStream.read(tempArray);
catch (IOException io)
SOP(io, "Error in serialEvent callback call for event DATA_AVAILABLE");
public void writetoPort(byte[] data) throws IOException

Reading a char array from Serial port
Need help!
Hi, I've got the following problem - I wanna read a input stream from serial port and I use at the moment the following method (reading bytewise):
public String receiveText (){
byte ch;
fStrBuf.delete(0,fStrBuf.length()); //clearing the buffer
try{
do {
ch = (byte) fPortInStream.read();
fStrBuf.append( (char) ch);
while ( (byte) ch != 0x03); //The end of frame byte
}catch(IOException ioe) {};
return fStrBuf.toString();It works pretty well, but disadvantage is that it's too slow to use it in the thread (at least I think so)
How can I change it to read all available data from the port (or simply faste). I don't need event listeners, because it's a request-responde communication.
I tried smth. like this
byte[] readBuffer = new byte[20];
try {
while (fPortInStream.available() > 0) {
int numBytes = inputStream.read(readBuffer);
fStrBuf.append(readBuffer);
} catch (IOException e) {}
return fStrBuf.toString();But it doesn't seem to work :-(May I suggest that you use StringBuilder rather than StringBuffer. It has less overhead because it is not threadsafe. I do synchronous serial port stuff with Opto 22, and i have no listeners enabled.
Appending to the String(Builder/Buffer) directly from the byte buffer mangles it. So I use a string (ugh). With the Opto22 brain boards, i am looking for a carriage return as a term char. It either finds it or times out.
This is the best i have come up with so far:
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
String data = new String();
long msTimeOut = 2000;
public void getResponse () throws IOException {
byte[] readBuff = {0};
int charAvail;
response.delete(0,response.length());
long ts = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
try {
while ( readBuff[readBuff.length-1] != '\r' ) {
charAvail = inputStream.available();
if ( charAvail > 0 ) {
readBuff = new byte[charAvail];
inputStream.read(readBuff);
response.append(new String(readBuff));
if ( Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() > (ts + msTimeOut) ) {
response.delete(0,response.length());
response.append("TIMEOUT");
break;
} catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); throw e; }
data = response.substring(0);
} I just starting writing Java about 4 days ago, so caveat emptor. -
How to get data from serial port to GUI textArea
From Serial Port.....
Messages from base (always 5 bytes):
0xAA, 0, 0, 0, 0xBB - IDLE Mode
0xAA, 0, 0x80, 0x80, 0xBB - Question Mode
messages from terminal (always 6 bytes):
0xAA, a, b, c, chksum, 0xBB
where chksum = a+b+c;
a = address (0-250)
the 2 MSB's of b represenet the answer:
0 0 - A

How do I use serial port read and show text, but not have it scroll off screen?
I am new-ish/returning amateur user of Labview and I am trying to edit the example VI "Advanced serial write and read VI" that is part of dev suite 2012. I need to use the string box to show ALL text received from serial port, always appending and only rolls off screen when more real data arrives at serial port.
What is actually happening is as more bytes (or no bytes AT ALL!) arrive during read time, current text rolls off the string box. Even when 0 bytes are received, screen is blanked out. I am not very familiar with functions locations and even worse at understanding obscure references to functions, so please keep replies very basic so I can follow.
Just to be clear, I need the string window to behave like hyperterm does-always shows data and it is not pushed out of window arbitrarily.
Thanks,
Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.OK- lets start back at the beginning. I have a few questions...
WHy does incoming txt get placed at top of txt box and then scroll up? why would it make more sense to input at the bottom and scroll toward the top. I have created this huge txt box that appears to be impossible to use.
I have attached example of txt boxes I have tried, and pic of VI I have edited. Bad marks for uglyness....

Read data from serial port or TCP port of frontend PC
Hello Friends,
I have requirement to read data from device connected to frontend PC which will provide meter reading data.
Vendor has given me two option.
1. Device can be connected to seiral port and data transfer will be done through MODBUS RTU protocol.In that case data need to capture from serial port.
2. Device can be connected to TCP port and Socket program can be provided for data transfer. In that case SAP will act as client and communicate with TCP port.
There will be multiple workstation with individual meters connected to them.
I am aware of text file interfacing through front end tools using custom code using VB,JAVA or others.
Is there any solution availble to achieve above things using ABAP other than text file , like direct communication?
I am using ECC 6.0.Hello,
Socket programming in not available on ABAP, but you may use RFC for the same.
Use the below links for more details

How send data to serial port from forms 6i
How send data to serial port to activate hardware connect.
The hardware is a drawer for cash the point of sales.Andres,
I do the exact thing you are looking for,
I spool out a text file using text_io
the file will either contain a double ^G or an epson escape sequence, depending on the drawer type connected.
I then copy this file to the port using a copy function id d2kwutil
Works perfectly, but god knows how I'll do it if we want to run the point of sale over the web :)
