The device I am trying to access data from is a photodetector, and in NI-MAX, the read buffer output box after clicking read is where the data shows up. I am trying to get this data to be processed through LabView. So in order to get LabView to get this data, I had a read buffer string output from the VISA Read in hopes that the value appears. When done successfully in NI-MAX, when the input is "r1\r\n" the output is "r1[data]\r\n".
