NI-VISA Serial Port: basic exercises

Abstract

After completing this activity, you will be able to connect, acquire, and send data through the USB serial port with the LabView program.

One of the many applications that LabView has is an I/O software known as VISA (Virtual Instrument System Architecture). A standard tool to create interfaces that allow us to control (configure, program, debug) instruments/equipment or acquire data from external sensors. All the above tasks are done through any communication port like Ethernet, GPIB, USB, and more.
