How to send a command in Hex to serial port

I need to send the following command to serial port
[SS] [1] [CR] to serial port , how do i do that in Hex

Norman,
Learn to write a single commands and get back a valid replies first, before
you try to develop an app to continuously communicate with the instrument.
Once you get the command set down, you can plug them into your state
machine.
Attached is a VI about ASCII to HEX and Carriage Returns.

Sending an ESC code using the serial port

I have a motor control aplication that requires sending an ESC character using the serial port. LabView has several built-in functions (end of line, line return, etc.) but I just do not know how to send this particular code using the serial port. Any ideas?

The hex code for ESC character is 1b, Try writing it in a 8 bit unsigned number and then change that byte to charachter using labview function "byte Array to string". In this way you can pass this charachter.

JDev TP4 DVT:Map Component: How to send a command to Mapviewer Server?

How to send a command to Mapviewer Server programmatically using a DVT:Map component? ( for example : To capture a Theme info when i clicking in the a map theme position?
Juan C LLanes

Hi Juan,
Are you trying to click on a point in the map and update another control on the page?
This is available today, if you create a master-detail binding and bind the master to your map theme, and detail to another view e.g. a table, and check the checkbox "Enable row selection" when you create the map theme binding, then you will get this behavior automatically.
If this is not what you are looking for, please clarify.

It means this program can run. But somtimes I cannot receive sms. sometimes can
Basically, it is not well-written from both a LabVIEW and a communications point of view. Unfortunately, I can't elaborate because today is an exrtremely busy day at work. I'm hoping this bump will prompt someone to help you with your problem. If you could also provide us with the programmer's guide or the manual for your equipment, that would be extremely helpful.

How to send a command from a vc++.exe to LABVIEW.exe in order to control the button on the LABVIEW.exe

Hello, everyone. Using VC++, I have gotten the handle of a *.exe(built by Labview), but I cannot get the button handle. I want to get the button handle and post the message to control the button. How can I do that? When I use the SPY++, the *.exe(built by Labview) have not any child windows which is very different from the *.exe(built by VC++). In SPY++, what is the LVDChild class? How can I send the message to control the button on *.exe(built by Labview)???
That is to send a command from a vc++.exe to LABVIEW.exe in order to control the button on the LABVIEW.exe. How can I get it ?
Thank you!

Checkout the LabVIEW ActiveX server interface in the User Manual in Chapter 20, Windows Connectivity and the VI Server Reference in Chapter 17, Programmatically Controlling VIs.
There is a sample for Visual Basic under examples/comm/VBtoLV.frm, which should be quite simple to translate to Visual C as long as you can figure out the basics of ActiveX programming in VC (I have never done anything with ActiveX in VC). For those basics I would recommend some text book or MSDN.

How to send AT commands with JAVA?

Hi,
to get the cell id on a mobile phone I would like to send "AT+CREG=2" as an AT command to the mobile phone.
Is there an API for getting network registration things like the cell identification of a gsm mobile phone or is there a possibility to access the mobile phone with AT commands?
In MIDP 2.0, there is the possibility to access serial ports of a mobile phone. Probably this will work?
I would be glad, if anyone could give me an idea. I'm investigation since weeks.
greetings,
Ralf.

Hi
i really don't know, but when i read your posting i thought that this may not be possible because it would break the java security concept.
I guess, if you'd like to get any plattform/device related information you would need to have a vendor/device specific api.....
but as i said, i don't know, i just guess...

How to send SCPI commands to a VXI instrument

I am using a VXI Interface tech SR2510 LVDS card with teststand and keep getting the following error when the intial diagnostics test trys to run. "Device I/O Driver error" I tried to use the Visa Interface and the interactive control in NI MAX but was not able to send SCPI commands. What can I use to communicate with this card. The resource manager does successfully execute and I see my instrument in the devices list so I am confident it is not a VXI problem.

Hello DF1963,
Can you communicate with the card through its driver/interface? Also, please review the following NI-VISA Help topic: Introduction to Programming VXI Devices in VISA to ensure that correct commands are being sent. If your device is correctly configured in MAX, I would also recommend verifying with the card manufacturer as well.

How can I read the voltage from a serial port

I am fairly new to LabView and I am having trouble figuring out how to read the DC voltage coming out of an RF Power Supply through a serial port so that I can monitor the voltage every few seconds. In order to do this do I need to purchase a DAQ card or anything like that?

You would not need a DAQ card to read data over the serial port. You would, however, need a serial port. That may sound sarcastic, but it's not, since many manufacturers are ditching serial ports on computers. If you don't have a serial port then you would need to get something like a USB<->serial adapter or a serial port card that you plug into an expansion slot in your computer.
Assuming you've got that then you need to find the command set for the RF Power Supply, and write drivers for it so you can send the command to read the voltage, and then read the resposen. I would suggest looking in the Instrument Driver Network to see if a driver for your supply has already been written.

How to add control buttons using Java thorugh serial port?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
I have some questions on Java and serial port.
I want to write a Java program to control my robot, through serial port. For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.
Now I already have the buttons, so next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.
I already have all the javax.comm things installed.
below is the code for my buttons:
import java.awt.*;
public class ControlButtons extends java.applet.Applet
     GridLayout myLayout = new GridLayout(3, 3);
     Button button1 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonForward = new Button("Forward");
     Button button2 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonLeft = new Button("Left");
     Button buttonStop = new Button("Stop");
     Button buttonRight = new Button("Right");
     Button button3 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonReverse = new Button("Reverse");
     Button button4 = new Button(" ");
     public void init()
          setLayout(myLayout);
          add(button1);
          button1.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonForward);
          add(button2);
          button2.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonLeft);
          add(buttonStop);
          add(buttonRight);
          add(button3);
          button3.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonReverse);
          add(button4);
          button4.setVisible(false);
}Now I would like to ask for direction on how to add in the code to make it work with serial port.
Thanks

The plan is, I have a robot device connected to the serial port.We don't know anything about that device. We don't know how to control it. We don't know what you have to write to the device to make it do anything. Only you know what.
For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.So what do you have to send to make it do that? and same for the other buttons.
Next, you need to work out from the javax.comm API how to open the serial port and send data to it. This is a standard exercise in learning a new API. You must be able to do this. Again and again.
But the program is useless. The button can be clicked, but didn't do anything.Because (a) they have no ActionListeners and (b) there is no code to send anything to the serial port.
You have to write all that. So you also have to look up ActionListener in the Java API and how to attach it to a button. You can do that. We all do that kind of thing every day.
So next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.You've been asking nothing else since you started, but you've also only done enough investigation of your own to create the buttons. That's only the start.
The problem is what method and command should I use to make those buttons actually functioning.See above. You've been told part of it several times. The rest only you can answer, because it's your robot.

How to control an Xserve G4 with the serial port

I have an Xserve G4 first generation, and was wondering exactly how you would go about connecting to it via serial port incase I need to change something when there is a network issue. I have looked around the internet without much success. It has Leopard Server on it, so Apple says the baud rate is 56700, and 8bit, no parity. So that's all set in the client machine, which is a MacBook Pro with a USB to Serial adapter on it, which shows up in Zterm. Once I'm in Zterm, it just sits there, and pressing enter doesn't prompt a log in. Does anyone see what else I'm most likely missing?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Cemelot. Yes, I did create a profile in ZTerm. This is what I have it set to.
I also read that you're supposed to run the command "/usr/libexec/getty serial.57600 /dev/tty.serial" on the Xserve itself. It made no difference if I did that or not. I also checked to make sure tty.serial was inside /dev/. Anything else I'm missing? Thanks again.

How can I write bits through the COM1 serial port?

I'm trying to write bits through the serial port COM1.
Labview "Write VI" only writes everything in string. It seems. How can I write bit by bit through COM1?
Thank you,
Van

Serial transmission (COM port) protocol requires sending a group of bits at one time. You cannot just send one bit. Standard COM port settings must be either 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, etc... You have to group your bits 7 or 8 at a time. You could probably send a 0 byte or a 1 byte. This would be like sending 0000 0000 for a low bit and 0000 0001 for a high bit. Your receiving end would have to know how to interpret what you are sending if you choose this method. Of course you have to convert your byte into a string before sending to COM port. Wire a U8 data type to a Build Array input. Then wire the array output to a Byte Array to String input. The output of this function will be the character representation of your byte suitable for sending acr
oss a serial port.

How to display raw, not ascii, bytes from serial port?

Hello, I have an instrument that outputs raw data, not ascii, bytes to a serial port. How do you display raw data, not ascii, bytes from a serial port? Since raw data bytes are not displayable, there is got to be something in labview to interpret/display the received bytes the way it is as data in HEX or Binary. The STRING-TO-HEX and STRING-TO-BINARY functions are not applicable in this case because the bytes were not string type in the first place. For example, if the receive byte is 0x4D, I need to display 4D in HEX or 77 in Decimal and not the ascii character "M" corresponding to 0x4D ascii code. I am using a VISA-RD function currently to receive the data from a COM port. VISA-RD outputs string type. Thank for any feedback or suggestion in advance.

BC@Baxter wrote:

Of course they are string type, just not formatted in a human readable form. So, YES, these functions are not appropriate.

Dennis is right, but there is no "decimal" display for strings, so the second requirement needs a tiny little bit more code.
If you have a single byte string, you can typecast it into a U8 number and set the display format as decimal, hex, octal, or binary as desired. In decimal, it would display the number 77. Since it is now a numeric, you can even do math with it.
In general, the string has multiple bytes, and you would typecast it into an array of U8 numbers (Since this is an often used function, there is also a "string to byte array" which does the same thing).
Typecasting is the secret. You can e.g. easily typecast 2 bytes into a U16, 4 bytes into a I32, 8 bytes into a DBL, etc. For more detailed requirements, there is also the "unflatten from string". Check the online help for details. Good luck!

How to communicate two PC's with the serial port with Netbeans

Do you know how to do it?
Do you know how to communicate with the parallel port too?
Could you give some ideas?
What commands or instructions I have to use?

What does NetBeans have to do with it?
All these "people" today that start out in Java using all these "nifty" IDE's. All it does is produce exactly this. They think their IDE is Java. Once they no longer have their one specific IDE in front of them, they can no longer function. They have no idea what the classpath, what the compiler actually does, how to package a jarfile, hell, most of the time, they don't even know how to execute a simple application.
As far as your question. Did you even try to Google for some Serial port API package? Assuming you did, did you download it and read the documentation that comes with it? Did you search for a few examples on the web? Did you read them? Did you try them? I can almost guarantee that the answer to everyone of those questions is "no". So, my question for you is, "Why should we help you?" You obviously have no desire to help yourself, so I think we should reciprocate in kind. Don't you?

How to configure visa to adquire dat from serial port and then converted to numeric value from a home embedded device

I already stablish communication with my serial port using VISA, selecting COM1 as the resoure name.
After that, I tried to read the data from the port (as we know the data was in string format )but I need to convert the data to numeric value to hadle it (no arrays).
Another main thing is that I'm develoing a new based Embedded design and tthe info that will trhow out from the device to the PC is binary.
How can I solved the problem, and if I want to make bidirectional communication with my system how can I do it? The VISA intructions as *IDN? and so forthetc can be recognize by the external system if the COM1 port is recognized by NI Max as ADSRL1::I
NSTR1?

Hello,
For an example of bidirectional serial communication in LabVIEW, please see the shipping example LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi. This can be found from LabVIEW by going to Help >> Find Examples. From the example finder, select Hardware Input and Output >> Serial >> LabVIEW <-> Serial.vi.
Once you are able to read the string data in, you can use the VIs in the String/Number Conversion palette to convert the data to numeric format. To access these, right-click on the block diagram >> All Functions >> String >> String/Number Conversion.
Let me know if this does not help.
