Re: labview (serial port from usb)

Hi,

When you use USB to Serial Converter then it's like your giving USB connectivity to your PC but latter it will convert to Serial by that converter. So it means at Laptop side you have USB device only but if you want to link any Serial (RS232) software/application with this USB to Serial Converter then you need two types of Driver

1) USB device driver for that converter

2) VCP i.e. Virtual COM Port, Which will create one virtual COM Port for your Software application and link it to USB Physical port

 

   Generally it will create COM port with Address COM4, COM6 like that. So you need VCP which will be dedicated for that USB to Serial Converter.

 

ALL the Best  :manwink:
