title: Simulating input in Labview
body: <p>I am trying to write a Labview program that takes input from a thermal sensor on serial port RS - 232, applies some basic transformation to it, and displays it on a screen.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if it is possible to somehow simulate the sensor in labview, or by using some external simulator application so I can test my program before I'm given access to the actual hardware.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>I have Labview 2011.</p>
