Thank for the quick replies! I haven't had time to try them out, but I think that the format into string vi is what I want. It seems that it will let me format he inputs and add a line feed at the end. It also seems to be able to stop adding spaces between strings if I input a format string such as %s%s%s. I would connect the crio to the computer to see if it was working, but I do not have the proper serial cable to make this happen. The only cable I have with me at home is one with a USB to serial converter on one end, and the other connector has been cut off and the wires have been broken off to program my basic stamp. For now, i am just looking at the output on an oscilloscope although it is not quite triggering properly on the signal.
