Speaking of Labview, does anyone have comments regarding its ability
to control RS232 instruments?  I am trying to determine just what it can
do over the serial port, especially with regard to data protocols and
baud rate.

For instance, is the RS232 character stream text oriented or binary oriented?
Does the user have complete control over the generation and interpretation
of RS232 data?

The system which I would like to control is a custom real-time controller
which currently talks to custom PC software at 57600bps.

I have the Labview Demo, which has all of the communication facilities
disabled.  Getting detailed information in Aus. seems to be difficult
at the moment due to a shortage of supplies to the local National Instruments
office.

I would appreciate any comments about Labview in this regard.

George.
