Hi everyone ,I am trying to develop a GCS in labview, similar to the ArduPilot GCS, I am now acquiring data from the GPS, thermopiles (in a specific format) and am displaying it in labview after filtering it. The data is being acquired via the serial port of the computer. When i first built the software i tried it in my desktop( which had serial port) and it worked fine, i was also able to generate messages in labview and send it serially out.However now i tried it in my laptop which didnt have serial port. So i bought a USB to serial adapter. I can see the data from the UAV i.e.. the thermopile, gps readings in hyperterminal. But i cant get labview to work with the simulated serial port. Labview doesnt display the readings and gives an error: "unknown system error". I cant figure out why, there must be no mistake in the labview program as it works fine in my desktop, and also no mistake in the data being sent cause i can see it in the hyperterminal window in the proper format.Please help. Did you people also face a similar problem when developing the ArduPilot labview based GCS?Thank you.

I am by no means an expert in this, but do have some labview experience. One the desktop labview is talking to a serial port and a usb on the laptop. Maybe you need change the I/O part of the program to talk to a usb for the laptop version ?
