Configuration: - used to open up the serial port with the specified or default parameters Write: - used to write the string to the output buffer of the serial port Read: - used to read the string data from the input buffer for the specified byte count Close: - used to close the port and release the resources associated with the port
VIs for serial port communication
Byte count: - specifies the number of byte present in the input buffer Break: - sends a break to the output port for the default duration or specified duration Flush I/O: - flushes the I/O port buffer Buffer size: - sets the I/O buffer size
Writing a data on the output port
It is to be remembered that the data which is to be written onto the output port should be a character or string Specifying a buffer size is an optional step, if not specified it takes the default buffer size
