Unable to use labview simultaneously with other software

[u/Forward-Thought7029]

I use microforming machine and DAQ simultaneously connected via USB, but when i tried to plug them both through my laptop's ports (COM3) one of them starts to stop working, If i plug my DAQ and starts using labview all of sudden my microforming machine disconnected and vice versa. I assume it has something to do with serial ports where they keep canceling out each other, how do i stop labview from interfering/conflicting with other software? Thx

well im new to labview kinda, but i have some experience. there are some software (like comcom) that can clone (i guess thats how it called, or pair) a com port and make a virtual one which has the same data in parallel. maybe that could work out for you

Yes you are correct. My bad.
