Excellent! Unfortunately NI-VISA does have some incompatabilities with some third-party USB-SERIAL devices that don't support all the features that our NI-VISA configuration VIs attempt to enable. I don't have a list of the devices that *are* and *aren't* supported, but if you guys would like to share what USB-Serial device you're using and whether it works or not, I think it would be very useful for teams to know...

We can tune our PID system on the fly, and now with Labview as feed back with a graph....it only took about 5 minutes to tune our PID control. Amazing tool.....amazing...what a time saver.

Slick! Do you care to explain how you did that within the dashboard? Did you use the user_bytes? Care to share any screenshots?
