No error with VISA CONFIG SER. PORT when no cable connected

I'm using LV8.5 and VISA CONFIGURE SERIAL PORT.VI, with an error indicator connected, and I expect to see an error displayed when I have NO SERIAL CABLE connected to my pc. Shouldn't this condx generate an error? If not, what can I do to display an error when no cable is connected?

Are you saying that you wan the configure serial port VI to throw an error if you don't have a cable connected to the serial port?
It can't.  How would the serial port know whether a cable is connected or not?  The VI configures the port which is the actual hardware implementation inside your PC.  It doesn't know what is happening beyond then connector on your PC.
You do have some alternatives though.  If the device you are going to communicate with puts any voltage on any of the hardware handshaking lines, you could check the status of the hardware handshaking lines and see if they are enabled or not.  If they are not, you can throw your own error saying the cable or the device is not connected.  Or if the device doesn't do that, you could make your own communication cable that does a loop back on the hardware handshaking lines.  If the line is not enabled, then the cable must not be connected.  Of course in that case it won't tell you whether the other end of the cable is connected to anything.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

    my ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

    yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have  any drivers
    its driving me round the bend at the minute

  • Syntax Error with Table Parameter (type: ANY) when Creating Function Module

    Hello experts,
    I want to create a function module with a table parameter and table type is ANY. But when I check (Ctrl+F7) this function module, syntax error occurs - "In this statement, the internal table "MSG_TABLE_ITEM" must have the type "STANDARD TABLE"."
    Could anyone tell me what the wrong is? And how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Shelwin

    Hi,
    For table parameters, you can only pass
    MSG_TABLE_ITM   TYPE STANDARD TABLE
    or
    MSG_TABLE_ITM  ( don't fill other columns TYPING ASSOCIATED TYPE  ).
    For reference check FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' - Table parameters

    Hi Mike,
    You can actually just check for the existence of the cell:
    var l_Cell = $x(pId);
    if (l_Cell)
    rest of the code to hide the column
    }As long as l_Cell refers to a valid page item, then the if test passes and the rest of your code can run.

  • I get this error with iCal "generates a conflict" when synced with my Yahoo calendar. Help Please

    I updated to Maverick "Mistake" and have been getting this error since "generates a conflict" with the new iCal and my Yahoo calanders. There werent any problems before the update. Any suggestions as to how to fix it ? Does anyone know how to go back to the last version of iCal ?
    Thank you for ANY help

    Given that the calendars are hosted by Yahoo, I would remove the accounts, then re-add them back.
    That shouldn't lose anything, but I don't use Yahoo so I can't say for sure. They use a standard CalDAV server, so all should be ok.

  • Error with My Best Buy Points when trading in?

    I have Gamer Club Unlocked and have recently traded Destiny for $44 including the GCU 10% bonus. However, when I look at my Best Buy Points history, it shows that the game was traded in for only $40, and that I received 80 points for the transaction. 
    Did I get screwed out of 8 points, or do the double points only apply to the base value of the game?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey again downthesun01,
    Good question! The My Best Buy points awarded for any given trade-in are determined by the base value of the traded games, before any applicable promotions or Gamers' Club Unlocked benefits are added. The trade-in bonus credit GCU members receive is also calculated independently from any other applicable trade-in offer. For example, here's how things would break down if a GCU member were to trade in a game worth $50 during a 50% bonus trade-in credit promotion:
    Base Trade-In Value = $50.00
    My Best Buy Points Awarded = $50.00 x 2 = 100 Points
    10% GCU Trade-In Credit Bonus = $50.00 x .10 = $5.00
    50% Trade-In Credit Bonus Offer = $50.00 x .50 = $25.00
    Total Trade-in Credit Received = $50.00 + $5.00 + $25.00 = $80.00
    I hope his helps.

  • Error msg "no modem found!" when trying to connect...

    Hi.
    I'm getting this error message when I tried to connect to N95 via bluetooth as modem, using "One Touch Access". I can use "One Touch Access" to connect with N95 via USB cable, though.
    My hardware is:
    Toshiba R150 laptop;
    Generic bluetooth adaptor with IVT BlueSoleil as driver;
    Windows SP2;
    PC Suite 6.86.9.3;
    Nokia N95
    Any solution?

    hi,
    i know you want bluetooth, but cable is really much better ya know...
    but if you insist on BT, well couple of thing i could suggest:
    test and make sure that BT is working properly, you can do this by sending files via bt on both ways
    make the N95 as default modem, then goto it and query it, just to make sure it is working well...
    thats all i could think of at the moment...

    Hi, I use Mail.app and sometimes it times out when waiting for a response from the ISP. I've had this happen when other apps are using up all the bandwidth, but also for random reasons. It's not an OS X thing, as the same thing happens with my OS 9 box. Some ISP servers are just flaky!
    What OS version are you running? I seem to recall that later versions of 10.3 and 10.4 fix some network-related problems, but you'd have to check the release notes to make sure.
