ASRL COM server

[RomainVDS]

Hi all,

I know that it is possible (and I often use it) to configure a VISA server on remote computer in order to allow access from my computer to have access to GPIB device directly connected to remote computer.

I would like to know if it is possible, in the same idea, to configure a server on remote computer COM port in order have access from my computer to the devices connected on the COM port from the remote computer.

Thank you in advanced.

Hello,

Following the process to setup a VISA server/client connection, http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F3AB0B5D7DBA367C86257982005BBF2C, did you try to select a ressource of type "ASRL" (COM)?

Hello,

In the VISA interacive control, I can see the ressource ASRL (called visa://10.1.54.2/ASRL1::INSTR in my case).

My problem is that my software which will drive the device must be linked to a COM port and cannot detect this visa alias (even if it is pointing to a COM port).

Is there a way to create a new COM port on my computer which will be linked to this remote ASRL ?
