Dual monitors with a laptop

Re: Modbus communnication using labview???

If the communication you need is very simple, like e.g. just to get X modbus register values from the unit then opening a serial og tcp/ip link and sending a fixed string to the unit (assuming it's a slave...is it?) will do the trick. Then you'll get back a string that is fairly easy to decode

Another way of adding items to your palette is by saving the folder which includes the dir.mnu file and all the VIs into your \labview\user.lib directory. LabVIEW will automatically update its user library palette next time it launches. There are more explanation on this behavior (palette-
