Hurray for epanorama!! I think you will be able to do this. What concerned me was controlling the exact lines of the serial port. I searched NI's site and found <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/1ECEFAA7AD52994986256966005356EA?OpenDocument">How Can I Control the DTR and RTS Serial Lines in LabVIEW?</a>. I think this is the info needed to complete the serial concerns. You can search NIs site at the <a href="http://search.ni.com/?col=alldocs&layout=TechResources&ql=a">advanced search</a> page. It is very useful.
