Problem finding com ports on cF-2020

the "find devices" only shows the digial lines and LED's. I can't seem to setup or find the com ports on the cF-2020.

The Find Devices is used to find all of the device and channel items, it is not designed to find the COM ports on the cFP-2020 module. The COM ports are COM1, COM2, COM3 (RS-232), and COM 4 (RS-485).
To configure the ports, use the VISA Configure Serial Port VI.

  • Problem with Com port

    Hi guys. I have written a driver to communicate with a COM port (FTDI serial adapter).  On the pc from which I'm writing now (windows XP) it works properly, but when I try to use the same driver on another pc (win 7) labview see the port but isn't able to comunicate . I tried also to use a software like Tera Term to see if the com works and trying the echo it works good...so I don't understand where the problem is on this w7 pc... 
    should I install some labview drivers on the w7 pc? I have already installed
    NI run time installer
    NI max
    NI Visa run time

    NI Serial won't help (its for NI serial cards not 3rd party USB-Serial bridges)
    LabVIEW sees the VCP in Win7 but does not communicate: Works on XP: "Something" happens with Echo on from teraterm.
    I'l guess either:
    Wrong serial cable or settings and you are fooling yourself with the tereterm app and are seeing the echo only.  With Echo on any character sent should be doubled.
    Outdated FTDI Driver that does not support Win7.

  • Problem with COM port opening

    I made an application using COM port to dialog with a microcontroleur and i have some troubles with the opening of the port. i developed it under window XP pro and labview 6.1 and i have no problem when i launch my application on an XP PC having labview installed or on a window 98 PC without labview (just the runtime engine). But when i launch it on an XP pc with only the runtime engine, it seems to launch correctly but in fact, there is a problem with the COM port opening. The menu allowing to chose the port number is inactive and has no effect, like if the software wouldn't recognize the material port on the PC. And consequently, nothing happens when the dialog should start.
    Thank tou for your precious help

    Is the VISA run-time engine installed? I don't understand why it would work on the win98 machine unless you have an older installation of it there.

  • How to find COM port for a specific USB device

    I want to automatically find the COM port for a specific USB device. I use the VISA find resource function but I can't get the manufacturer's ID. VISA says the device doesn't have this information. The find resource function does narrow my search (and often finds the port depending on what other usb devices are connected). In the case where it finds multiple possible ports, can I safely send a message to each port to determine if it is the correct device? I know it will work for my purposes but I don't know if I am asking for trouble by sending messages to unidentified devices. Any thoughts on how I can identify my device port will be appreciated. Thank you - Dave F

    You can do it using WMI.  I have C# code I am supposed to convert into LabVIEW foing something similar to what you want to do.  In my case, I am testing a USB device and need to know which port on the hub is which COM port (the device creates a virtual COM port for communication).  Using WMI, you can find the hardware path to the device and know that COM10 is USB hub Port 1 for example.  Unfortunately, I cannot share the C# code.
    You can download the WMI Code Creator tool from Microsoft, which should help you tremendously find the proper method of getting your info.
    You basically want to look at all the W32_USB devices for the specific device you are looking for.  Once you have that, you can look for the COM Port associated with it.  I don't know when I will get to coding this up in LabVIEW, but will report back when I do, assuming you haven't found the solution by then.

  • Problem related USB Virtual COM PORT using PDA module 8.2 on Windows CE

    Hi,
    I am working on tranferring my application developed on LV 8.2 to a Single-board computer(SBC) running Windows CE 5.0. I am using LV PDA module 8.2 to achieve this. My problem lies in finding the port number of the Virtual COM Port on the SBC. I need to connect a USB RF modem from Maxstream to this SBC and to talk to it using VISA. I have installed the required drivers from Maxstream for converting the USB port to a virtual COM PORT. What is a way to figure out the COM PORT number on a Windows CE device? For a PC, I can see the COM PORT in the device manager but I do not know how to find this in Windows CE. . Also, I have tried using "VISA Find resource" function ..it works on a PC but I do not get anything in the Win CE device.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    -Shruti

    Shruti,
    Is there a way to verify that the Maxstream driver successfully provides you with this virtual COM port? Essentially, what I mean is that if you did not have LabVIEW on this device, how does Maxstream prove that their driver is functional? Does it come with additional software that would be used to configure the USB RF modem? In any case, we would want to try opening any terminal program (like the hyperterminal) to determine what ports are listed for communication. I hope this is useful for you. Please post back when you are able to give this a try. Thanks,
    Mike D.

  • HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

    Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
    Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
    Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
    1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
    2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
    3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
    4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
    5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
    Any suggestions on what I should try now?
    Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

    Sounds like there is a file you're not getting.  Never do a removal manually.  It's so time consuming and a pain.  There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
    Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Download from scratch.
    If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
    If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

  • Problem removing bluetooth stack / hidden devices / COM ports not released

    Hi
    Having problem completely removing Toshiba Bluetooth stack / hidden devices / com ports not released
    I uninstalled Toshiba BT s/w...
    But:
    1) Toshiba BT hidden devices still appear and I can not remove (get error)
    2) COM ports occupied by Toshiba BT not released (so they cannot be used by another BT stack) and still appear in registry
    ex: friendly name Toshiba BT Port (COM4) still in registry
    3) These unreleased com ports do NOT appear in device manager
    Thanks

    It seems that you still have some configurations which were not removed during the uninstallation.
    This means that the resources can not be release, because those are still necessary in case of a
    new installation of the stack.
    The first I would try is the following:
    - Install the latest Toshiba Bluetooth stack.
    - Uninstall it. Ensure that you answer all questions with "yes" ! This means also the one which asks if all configurations should be removed.
    - Reboot
    - Check again

  • VISA "Find" not seeing COM port but Win7 sees it

    Allo.  I'm trying to communicate via virtual com ports with a device with an FTDI chip.  The device with the FTDI chip has both a USB type B port as well as a 9 pin dsub port, and I need to verify both ports work.
    I'm using a laptop with Windows 7 and my program is in LV 2010.  I have a Sabrent USB to serial cable to test the dsub port, and a standard USB cable to test the other port.  I've installed the latest FTDI drivers and when I plug in both cables and look under Windows Device Manager, I will see both of them under unique COM port settings (usually COM4 and COM 5).  So Windows sees and recognizes both virtual COM ports, and no yellow warnings.
    However when I run the "VISA Find" function in LabView, it only sees COM5 (the Sabrent serial cable) but not the COM port using the USB type B cable.  I send the results of the "VISA find" to a display and it will show other ports, like the parallel port, so I know it's seeing more than one port.
    Any ideas why Windows can see the two COM ports but the "VISA Find" function can only see one?  My guess is there's something with the FTDI driver set up.

    Yes, but its not for the faint of heart!
    You can probably do what you want by using the refresh "F5" in MAX or add this token
    [VISA-CONFIG]
    ShowRegisteredDevOnly = 0 
    to C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NIvisa\visaconfig.ini
    Another thing to try is to recover the unused COM Port numbers each time you change the device.  By default Windows will "Save" those previously connected COM port numbers an if it sees the device again it will re-assign the old number.  This means that the COM number keeps getting larger and larger.  At some point the PC's BIOS will say that's rediculous and you will experience trouble.
    Programatically you could call
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-Serial\NiPortConfig.exe to launch the same utility.  there is probably even and unpublished switch to click just that one big button for you but I can't find it.
    It looks like you may be running into some part of this known issue

  • COM-port problem with MSI BToes USB Dongle

    I´ve had problem to get my Sony Ericsson T610 to work with my MSI BToes USB Dongle, so I tried to update my drivers. Now I have Microstar Bluetooth Software 1.4.2 build 10 but can´t get my Serial Port service to work. In Advanced configuration / Client Applications under "Bluetooth Serial Port" / "Properties", the only serial port I can choose is com0. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    /Peter

    Well, I think i´ve solved the problem. To get the com-ports to work I installed the software. Then I had a problem to get the phone to communicate with Sony Ericssons synk-software and outlook, but suddenly it worked and has worked since then. I have no idea what the problem was but now it works and I´m satisfied.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Windows 7 is not officially supported by National Instruments as it hasn't even been released. That means you won't get any official support from NI on this.
    That said, does your computer actually recognize a serial port? Do you have an actual serial port, or do you have some sort of virtual COM port, or are you using some sort of adapter, such as a USB to serial port box? If it's any of the latter, the most likely reason is a driver issue which needs to be written to be compatible with Windows 7. 

  • Com Port problem running XP

    I am trying to communicate with a RidgeSoft IntelliBrain-Bot robot via an installed Radio Shack Serial to USB cable.
    The XP system Device Manager shows the active port for the cable is COM3 and that it is working properly.
    I have activated the "computer to computer by cable" modem and that is working properly.
    With the bot Serial connected to my MacBook Pro USB and the bot turned on, the RidgeSoft program on XP will not start, stating it is an invalid com port.
    I am working with RidgeSoft on this but wonder if any similar Serial to USB situations have occured which hopefully were solved?
    P.S. I'm far more knowledgeable with a Mac than I am with a Windows machine.

    OpenComConfig fails if the port is already open by some other process.  Com ports don't have sharing semantics in Windows as far as I know.
    The first question is what other process wants to use the same port?  Configure the processes so they don't contend for the same port.
    The locked port will release (it's a resource to the process) if the owning process terminates for any reason, even if it doesn't release the port.  Windows will clean up resources that were held by a terminated process.
    So you can release the port by terminating the process holding it, but the situaution shouldn't be happening in the first place.
    I get caught by this sometimes when I have the port open using a terminal emulator (e.g. hyperterminal or terminal) and try to run a CVI app that then wants the port.  It can be confusing.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum - com port problem - XP SP2

    I have fitted my tablet to the com port but when I restarted I got the message "New USB device found." and the com port is showing that it is being unused in the Device Manager.
    Any ideas as to why and what I can do about it (apart from shelling out for a new USB tablet) ?

        
    Sorted.

  • Problem Finding External Device In Final Cut Pro 3 & OS 10.4

    I upgraded our system from os 10.3 to 10.4. Now when we open Final Cut Pro 3 it can not find the external device. Anyone have any idea why and what we can do to rectify the problem? When I switch back to os 10.3 (Which I still had on a second internal hard drive) FCP3 has no problem finding the external device/camera.

    The only other suggestion I have would be the Guiness Solution. (though if 10.3 can locate the external, this may/may not help). Essentially this procedure allows the FW port to 'reset'. It is very simple and painless as well.
    Short version...
    Shut everything down
    Unplug everything
    Go have a nap, Guiness, Harpoon, Cafe Colåda, Hot Chocolate, talk a walk...anything to occupy 15 minutes or so.
    Come back and plug everything in
    Turn on deck/camera first
    Make sure System Profiler recognizes FW device (deck/camera)
    Start FCP....Does it work now?
    If you haven't already, you might trash prefs
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
    and run Repair Disk, using Disk Utility.
    I still wouldn't discount the QT possibility. Even though it worked before your upgrade to Tiger, the upgrade to Tiger, may have triggered something that is causing the issue.

  • I can't find the port in other PC ??

    while I change the VI from my PC to another, my program (read serial port by using visa) can't find the port, I push refresh but nothing happens despite the 'COM' is installed.

    I resolve the problem  I can read the port now it's all about the version of NI visa.
    But now I'm communicating with a schneider PLC with serial port through visa (well configurated : baude rate, stop bits...) but nothing happen in 'read buffer' when the program is running !!!
