Do you use the VISA Clear or similar function by any changes? I think this does reset the entire port under VISA for serial ports (actually the real cause of a problem on this list lately) which will put it back into the default (e.g. OS) settings. Other than that I have never encountered setting those serial port properties not working the way they should as long as the port I was trying to configure was actually present in the system ;-) Rolf Kalbermatter CIT Engineering Nederland BV tel: +31 (070) 415 9190 Treubstraat 7H fax: +31 (070) 415 9191 2288 EG Rijswijk http://www.citengineering.com Netherlands mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
