rs-232 works with teraterm but not labview

Hello,

I am trying to control a multiposition Valco valce using rs-232. If i just start TeraTerm and run the commands directly, the valve works as expected. However, when i try to use either the basic or advanced serial read write example vi, i get no response from the valve. I have also tried to use the NI MAX program with no results. The serial port for the valve should be set up as follows: 

Set the serial port at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no hardware or software
handshaking.

Im not sure why TeraTerm would work while labview does not when i am using the same exact settings. 

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You
