What property settings to I need to set in order for VISA Serial Read to read ASCII exactly like the legacy serial read vi?
I have successfully built a vi which communicates with a piece of equipment via the serial port using ASCII characters. I am trying to replace the older versions of Serial Read and Write VIs with the VISA Serial Read and Write VIs. The VISA Write works fine, but the when reading data coming from the "box", the VISA Read VI returns string data with foreign looking characters instead of the usual correct ASCII characters as shown by a dumb terminal which is in parallel with the serial data line. Is there a special property node which needs to be configured on the VISA Serial Read vi, or do I need to set something on the VISA Configure Serial port vi? Why aren't the VISA serial vis compatible with the older serial vis? Thanks...
