• Add serial port

  I am trying to add a serial port to a virtual computer to point to the physical serial port ESXI hosts. I must repeat cela about a hundred times, so looking for this script. I can find scripts to do this with other types of serial ports, but could not adapt it to a physical serial port mapped through.

  Thank you

  You can try like this?

  You will need to check the "devicename".

  $vmName =

  $dev = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

  $dev.operation = 'Add '.

  $dev.device = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualSerialPort

  $dev.device.key = - 1

  $dev.device.backing = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualSerialPortDeviceBackingInfo

  $dev.device.backing.deviceName = ' / dev/tank/series/uart0.

  $dev.device.connectable = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConnectInfo

  $dev.device.connectable.startConnected = $true

  $dev.device.connectable.allowGuestControl = $true

  $dev.device.yieldOnPoll = $true

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

• Problem creating virtual serial port (perl)

  I am trying to add virtual serial ports using vi perl. I don't get complaints about the creation of the device specification or specifications of the virtual machine, but for ReconfigVM() I get this error.

  I have attached a better list layout of the dumpster and snip code, if the following is too hard to read.

  Hi David,

  The error is because you don't have to specify the 'fileOperation' in the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec to add serial ports. The virtual machine correctly, reconfigure if you remove the following line:

  > fileOperation = > $fileOp,

  In addition, properties "pipeName" and "end point" of "VirtualSerialPortPipeBackingInfo" are strings. Thus, instead of

  > my $endPoint = VirtualSerialPortEndPoint-> new ('server');

  > my $vdpName = VirtualDevicePipeBackingInfo-> new (pipeName = > $pipeName);

  You simply do:

  > my $endPoint = "server."

  > my $vdpName = $pipeName;

  Hope the above helps you to resolve the error.

• ESXi 4.1 supports the transmission of serial port?

  I'm having a bit to find this information...

  My ESXi server has a serial port that I want to be available to a virtual machine (guest).  Is this possible?

  I don't want to share the serial port or do anything "fancy".  I just want it to be accessible.

  Thank you!

  Starting with ESXi 4.1, you can go through a serial port.  Simply add a port series to virtual hardware for the virtual machine and choose the option 'Use the physical serial port'.

• Serial port and parallel to ESXi 4

  Hello

  What about series and PARALLEL to VM mapping in esxi 4?

  Nothing. You cannot map serial ports or parallel in ESXi, ESX is required for this type of functionality.

• Physical serial ports are supported in ESXi?

  Physical serial ports are supported in ESXi?  I install Windows 2008 SBS on a HP Proliant ML350 G6 ESXi (version of stick USB HP) running. The server comes with a serial port on board.  I was hoping that connect an external modem and expose it to the virtual server, Windows SBS 2008 to serve as a network fax.  Is this possible? Alternatives if not supported?

  It would be a no.

  There are TCP/IP USB devices, do not know if there are similar devices for the series, but NO physical devices, sound cards, usb, parallel, series can be transmitted to a virtual machine.  That's because ESX uses vmotion, and it was designed to let the virtual machine move between machines, so allowing physical connections so would interfere with this operation.

• Adding a serial port to Tiny M73

  I am trying to understand the number of the serial port in option on the M73 (10AY001YUS). Can someone ponit me in the right direction? I found other posts here with psrt numbers, but I can't find out how to confirm they work with specific machines I have.

  I received my 04 X 2703. It's certainly the right part. Hope this helps you guys.

• VISA (serial port) commands fail in VI, but working in the VISA test Panel

  Hi, I have an instrument that has a usb connection. When I connect it to a Windows 7 PC, it picks up the driver automatically and presents itself as a "USB Serial Port (COM7) (manufacturer's FTDI).»

  When I opened NI MAX, this feature appears as COM7 (ASRL7::INSTR) under "series and parallel. And when I click on open visa Test Panel and try it "* IDN?" command, it works OK.

  However, the VI (which sends just a command VISA "* IDN?") give me a timeout error (0XBFF0015) or a resource/device absent error (0XBFFF0011). A screenshot of VI is attached.

  No idea why?

  Thank you.

  PS: I went through the process to create the VISA-USB driver, who has another question, but I'm trying to understand why this happens. This device has also a GPIB port and when I use a USB-GPIB adapter, it works very well.

  N ° your first string to write sends a literal backslash and a literal n.  Your watch \n control, but it is in Normal display mode.  Change it to \codes mode and delete the extra backslash it.

  Your second string to write is set correctly for the mode \codes.

  Because the wrong string is written, the timeout error occurs and prevents the VI downstream on this same error running thread.

• Time GPS, Position, Velocity.vi - error-1073807360 reading was held at node (arg 1) .vi property VISA set up a Serial Port (Instr)

  We receive information such as the Latitude and Longitude of a receiver Garmin GPS18xLVC via a serial port on our PC using LabView 7.1.  Successfully, I connected the GPS on the serial port and tested with HyperTerminal.  I tried reading GPS time, Position, Velocity.vi several times and still receive the following error message: error 1073807360 has occurred to the property node (arg 1) visa configure a Serial Port (Instr) .vi.  I think it has something to with the configuration of the VISA series under vi.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I understood the question, that I had with the time reading the GPS, the Position, the Velocity.vi.  The vi. "do not open" port com automatically and so I had to modify the NMEA GPS Subvi reading to first open the port (VISA open command) and then continue with other operations.  Once I did this it started to work very well.  I don't understand why this feature has been left out because it won't work without it.  I tested the code with a receiver Garmin 18xlvc and it seems to work fine.

• VISA from read/write to serial port - unable to implements several orders of writing!

  Hello

  I'm new to Labview and I'm reading from a pressure through a virtual serial port USB sensor. I am able to read the port when you use HyperTerminal

  The code sequence that I should write to the port in order to obtain measurements using hyperterminal is the following:

  ' *' (2A hex)-online start and the responses of the port by asking 'Command', I should then enter

  FF-online measurement select the port must ask the 'mode', so I should enter

  0 has-online measurement of high resolution mode and it was then that I should start receiving action.

  The port is always answer by errors when I write the start command or the FF one. I tried to establish a sequence stacked to write the three commands then read the port, I added some delay between the three of them, but it does not work.

  Now I made really simple and removed the stacked sequence and just put the three commands one after the other and try to remedy not to not on the code.

  I'm really stuck at this point, could someone help me please? I read a lot fo articles on the forum, but I can't solve this problem

  Thank you

  I have attached my VI and the SCP1000 documentation (I can provide other versions of my demo if necessary)

  The reason for your problem is a frequent misunderstanding even among experienced programmers. Take a look at this thread

  http://forums.NI.com/NI/board/message?board.ID=170&thread.ID=417750

  In your data sheet, then they return codes like 0xFF or 0x0A so has a single byte of average value. Then you in your-active code constant writing FF\n is so this equal to values in format hexadecimal 46460A and your instrument do not understand. But it will include FF0A. In order to solve your problem, you would type in \FF\n in your '-' chain helped codes. Remember too, if you type in \32 it will be converted to character 2 this being 0 x 32 50 decimals and code ASCII 50 is equal 2

  Take the time and change the display format of string between '-' display and Hex display and you will see the difference

  Hope this helps

• Property node (arg 1) visa set up a Serial Port (Instr) .vi-> Untitled 1. VI

  Hello

  I'm trying to connect an instrument stahl ER-300 with labview. The Stahl is connected to my laptop via a serial port/USB converter.

  When I run the program, I get this error property node (arg 1) visa set up a Serial Port (Instr) .vi-> Untitled 1. VI

• On the PXI-8106 serial port connection problem

  Currently, I am trying to connect to the serial port on the PXI-8106 via RS232 module. However, when I try to run the Test VI opened for COM1 MAX (PXI Remote) running on a PC, I received an error like below:

  Returns the status code: 0xBFFF00A8

  Name of the State: VI_ERROR_NPERMISSION

  Access to the resource or the remote machine is denied. This is due to the lack of sufficient privileges for the current user or the machine.

  Right now I'm just a just loopback test to ensure that the interface for device is working before you start my labview code. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, if it has to do with the PXI or PC. Could you please suggest a few solutions to this topic?

  Thank you.

  I managed to understand. It did not work on the right platform.

• How use the serial port read and display the text but not scroll off the screen?

  I'm new-ish/return user fan of Labview and trying to change the example VI "Advanced serial write and read VI" is the part of the dev suite 2012.  I need to use the string box for ALL of the text from a serial port, always adding and just roll off the screen when the actuals come to the serial port.

  What actually arrived more than bytes (or no bytes AT ALL!), during reading time text, current rolls out of the box in the chain.  Even when receiving 0 bytes, screen is removed.  I'm not very familiar with the locations of functions and even worse to understand obscure references to functions, so please keep very basic answers so I can follow.

  Just to be clear, I need window of the chain behave as HyperTerminal does always displays the data and it is not pushed by window arbitrarily.

  Thank you

  A long shot.

• output ascii 'code' for serial port

  Hi all, I don't know it is a simple problem, but I was try and fight the scourge. If all goes well it will take someone smarter than me almost no time at all. I am trying to contact a relay via the serial port (http://www.controlanything.com/Relay/Device/R45PRO ) box. It has a set of simple controls and looks like it should be easy. Unfortunately, the box is awaiting receive a number (an ' ASCII Code' as their described manual) rather than a normal ASCII character. So, if I try to send this "254" is he talking about listening to a command, the write VISA function it sends 50,53,52 or some such. I searched and found a bunch of examples for fixing such problems on the side of the reading, but none of them does not seem to work for me. I'm now resort to try things bothered as the conversion of a number and a Boolean and then to a string table, but is not do me any good either. I also tried just to send a string constant in hexadecimal and just write FE hoping that will get it in the mode of listening... but then I can't understand how to add a \n at the end character. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very pleased them. Thank you, mike

  What you're looking for? The same question has been asked hundreds of times.

  First of all, learn how to do a right click. If you did this on your control station / constant, you would have seen the Hex display and '-' Code display options.

  If you wish, you can use a U8 to set a single byte. Use the conversion feature and the output of wire to the entry VISA.

  You can use a table of U8, and either the cast or byte array to a string. Flatten it to a string can be used instead the typecast if you wish.
