cvi hyperterminal functions

[TheSpecialist]

I need to mimic the Windows hyperterminal text file transfer function using CVI.   I have a device that updates its software by interfacing with a windows hyperterminal.  I send the update command to the device and it waits for you to select the file from the hyperterminal using the transfer text file function.   How can I simulate this text file transfer in CVI?

Hi The Specialist,

Which file transfer protocol are you using? If you are using XModem then the XModemSend function should work.  Otherwise you may want to use the HyperAccess tool to control hyperterminal from CVI via activeX.  Refer to this discussion forum for details.
