Reading information from Weather Link onto Labview

[break406]

I might have been confusing on my information given and I'm not sure why we purchased the weater link software. So far I have managed to create a project and find the cRIO. One problem where I am stuck locating the serial port on the cRIO. I can click and drag the AO and DO from the project into a VI but I can't locate the serial port. Once I do locate the serial port from the project, what to do with it? Am I even on the right track?

Serial communication on a cRIO is handled a little differently than analog and digital out. Rather than drag in an icon from the project explorer, VISA resources such as the serial port are accessed using VISA calls from the VISA palette. If you need help getting started, there are some examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder that outline the basic Open»Read»Write»Close structure of using VISA calls.
