Hello friends! Today, we will receive continuous data from a COM port in LabVIEW and display both the incoming text and its individual values. This is a useful first step when connecting a microcontroller, measurement instrument or serial sensor to a computer. Our original example receives comma-separated values and places them in a one-dimensional array. We will keep that flow, but also explain how the program knows where one complete record ends. Without that step, a serial reader can appear to work during a short demonstration and then occasionally display incomplete or mixed measurements. We will start with the software and serial settings, build the front panel and block diagram, then discuss parsing, timeouts and stopping the reader cleanly. The original VI remains available near the ...
