TPC 2106T :cannot access serial port

[karpaga]

I used visa read function to read the serial port through Tpc but the bytes is always zero.

HOw to access the serial port?

Hello,

You should be able to do Serial communication on the TPC-2106/T using the Serial Compatibility VI's. You can find these VI's by accessing the Functions palette on the block diagram and navigating to Instrument I/O»Serial Compatibility.

I hope this helps.

I used the same serial compatability vis to read again the same problem persists

Hello,

From what I understand, you are trying to send serial data to the TPC-2106/T, and it is not reading the data, and it just returns 0 bytes read. Is this correct?

What are you using to send the serial data to the TPC, and can you confirm its doing this?

Can you post a screen shot of your vi?

Im using a Barcode scanner.

any solution?

The scanner is sending data i checked by connecting the scanner to my pc

Hello,

You haven't specified any of the initialisation values:

Are you sure the default values are correct? (for example, 9600 baud, 8 bits)

Could you post a link to the datasheet of the scanner?

Thanks!

Even i tried writing data to TPC through My Pc using visa write .Again the same problem i faced.I think its not a fault on Scanner data.
