For this project I designed a LabVIEW program that can communicate using UART through a computer's serial port at a user defined baud rate. I started out by making a product brief  to set my goals and clarify what I was doing to my professor.  In the LabVIEW VI I put some preset commands that would send a preset command and parse the data sent back. These were commands specific to an STN1110 or ELM327 chip used to interpret between UART and various OBD-II signal protocols. However the raw output would still be displayed. Custom commands could also be sent to but the output would be as it is and not parsed. The program would run continuously and would stop when told to stop. This project allowed me to learn about designing LabVIEW VIs for testing that not only worked but were neat and commented.
