You can use the VISA Write to output data to one serial port and like Mads suggested, have a loopback cable to another serial port to do a read from. The actual format of the data is what might get tricky. There is no kind of standard describing what the data from a serial instrument should look li

Thanks mads , surely there's got to be a easier way ,Perhaps there's a vi around that I could wire up to the relevant paths and this could give we a sort of ascending or descending streams numerics

The best is probably to make a simulation software and then use a null-modem cable and have your application talk to the simulator via a loop-back serial link...But making the simulator could be some work (if it's just a few commands to support it should be possible to make within an hour, but that

Hi I have been working with a vi witch connects to a serial port and reads load and displacement, how can I simulate the type of data I would normally be receiving , so that I can test everything thoroughly, without actually connecting to the instrument at work. There is a peak load detection and
