Controlling PCI-1422 with Labview instead of MAX

Hello Experts,
I want your help in one of my problem. I have a camera from Sensors Unlimited which is SU-640 1.7 RT-D and a NI parallel card PCI-1422. I can use and acquire data with MAX from the camera but I want to operate,use and acquire images from the camera using LabView. Is there any way of exporting or using the camera with Labview instead of writing a fresh code in LabView? 
Does LabView offer any support or reads automatically from PCI-1422 or any possible solution that I get the block diagram code for using this camera in LabView.
Please let me know, reply.
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks but again it requires writing and struggling with coding and experience on  LabView skills.
Just wondering something easy. I tried one of the example and it worked actually but I am trying to get more ideas or options to make it look better and impressive.
You want something and easy and doesn't require any effort on your end?    Hire someone who knows how to program in LabVIEW.

  • Is Ardence RTX required when I use PCI-7831R with labview real-time module for RTX target

    I am new in the labview real-time field. I want to use labview real-time module for RTX target on only one desktop. My card is PCI-78331R.  Is Ardence RTX necessary? Why I cannot find my card in the MAX after I configured the RTX?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Ziaozhongda,
    You must have the RTX runtime engine installed before the LabVIEW Real-Time RTX module will install.  Additionally, you should follow the instructions in the "Using the NI PCI-7831R with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for RTX" section of Getting Started with the NI 7831R (page 8).
    Please see Configuring Hardware for Use with RTX.

  • Can I use a DAQ PCI-1200 with Labview 5.0.1?

    I have a Labview 5.0.1 software, and I want to use PCI-1200 with it. Can I do that? My OS is Windows XP, but I can change it with Windows98/2000.

    Hello jhylee,
    The latest NI-DAQ driver for the PCI-1200 is 6.9.3, which is compatible with LabVIEW 5.0.1. LabVIEW 5.0.1 supports Windows 2000, but not Windows XP (although it may still run).

  • Controlling Hamamatsu Camera with LabVIEW

    I am using a Hamamatsu 1394 ORCA-ERA Camera in order to save microscope images on a PC. Im my lab, we are attempting to automate the process of saving an image from this microscope, and coordinate the time of the image capture with a function performed with LabVIEW. 
    As the 1394 name implies, this camera is connected to our PC using a firewire port. Is it possible to control the function of this camera with LabVIEW through a firewire port? What additional LabVIEW libraries would I need in order to perform this task, if any? Finally, is it possible to use LabVIEW to control a program called micro-manager that we currently use to save images? I know the Hamamatsu API supports both programs, but I am not sure if cross-communication between them is supported. 
    Thank you for reading, any response is greatly appreciated. 

    You say the API supports LabVIEW.  Does it have any example code for you to start with?  Typically driver sets include examples to make it easier to work with their API.
    If it works with that API, I'd see if you can get that to work with taking the images without using the second program.  You can typically use something like system exec on a Windows machine to run programs.  I'm not sure of anything that works similarly for a Mac.  Does micro-manager have an API you can use to make calls to it?

  • How can I control PIC programmer with LabVIEW

    I need to control a PIC Programmer (MPLAB PM3) with LabVIEW. How to do this?

    Hi Paul.
    I am working on a project that is using LabVIEW to communicate via serial communication with 4 programmers (Com 1, 2, 3, & 4). I am currently using the Microchip PM3 programmer DOS utility PM3CMD.exe to send/receive commands from the system exec.vi in LabVIEW. I am attempting to program simultaneously with 4 programmers, but the PM3 programmers are returning a database error if I try and communicate with more-than 2 programmers at a time. I noticed that you have some experience with some drivers from Microchip and using serial commands.
    Do you have any suggestions that may help me.
    Thanks.

  • Using PCI-6251 with Labview 6.1

    I recently purchased a PCI-6251 multifucntion DAQ board to get a higher sampling rate than my old PCI-MIO-16E-4 board.  However I have existing software that I want to run on the new board.  The board came with NI-DAQmx which will only work with Labview 7 or above.  I am currently running NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and the Measurement and Automation program does not recognize the new PCI-6251 board.  Is there anyway to get Labview 6.1/NI-DAQ 6.9.3 to recognize and configure the new board?  Or will I be forced to upgrade my Labview?

    The M-series boards (PCI-62xx are M-series) require NI-DAQmx driver. The NI-DAQmx driver requires a newer Labview. No way around it.

  • Integrating custom PCIe hardware with LabView

    Hi, I am new to LabView so appologize if question is in the wrong place.
    I have a custom PCIe acquisition card that I want to use in LabView environment to postprocess some data. So far the board has been used successfully with its windows drivers and VS.NET software. What is the process for setting up a device like that in LabView? Can LabView use the COM object windows driver just like a Visual Studio project would? If yes, is there a document that explains how this is done?
    I have worked with NI's own instruments where the driver is provided and seamlessly integrates into the LabView, but I am a bit lost with this custom non NI board.
    Thank you.

    Thanks. I tried searching that site for examples... but this is a board that our company has developed (software defined radio) and I am certain no one has written any drivers for it yet. Thats the problem statement that I am trying to research. What would it take to make the board we designed compatible with LabView. Since this is a Software defined radio platform, LabView offers some useful functions that can be used to postprocess and analyze data captured by our card.
    Ideal goal is to have LabView module capture data from PCIe buffer allowing for further processing (filtering, FFT, demodulation, etc...). I would appreciate if you can direct me to some examples or literature on this topic.
    Thanks,

  • How to use ExpressionEdit Control in teststand with labview

    Hi
    I am trying to get the ExpressionEdit Control to work in a labview custom step in teststand, but i have no idea how it works and cant find a solution.
    What I need is a simple example.

    Hi,
      that would really depend on how you want to use it. Do you just want the text from it? In which case there's a property of Text you can get from the control. Architect your code so that when you hit your OK button etc, it grabs the "text" information from the control.
    All of the properties and methods are documents (right click the control's fpterm on the block diagram, create >> property (so it created a property node for the activeX control, not a property for the LV control it's buried in) and select things like Text, or an invoke node, and things like DisplayBrowseExprDialog.
    You can then right click those, and go to "help for ...." for that property or method.
    Unless we know what you propose to use it for, then we can't really help with sample code, since it might not be applicable to your setup. (i.e. text out versus evaluation of the expression, versus displaying the browse expression dialog etc).
    You'll probably need to write to the context property to get the correct sequence context to browse with (pass in the "thiscontext" to your vi, and write to the context property of the dialog box.)
    Hope that helps
    Thanks

  • Controlling Newport SMC100 with Labview

    Dear all,
    I need to control a single axis Newport motor via Newport SMC100, i installed the SMC100 labview drivers.
    Do anyone have examples? OR anyone can show me the way about how can i implement my system very fast?
    Please have a look at the brief description of my system:
    I am also measuring load with "load cell,amplifier and DAQ (NI USB-6343, X series)" so what i want is to trigger SMC100  after a certain value of load cell is reached.
    Do anyone has any idea how to work this out? is this so hard application for a beginner?
    This is my master thesis's test setup so i am really looking for help.
    Best regards from Turkey!

    Hi Kindly-Wisher,
    It looks like you have already created a Discussion Forum for this topic (How to interact Motor Controller with Load cell via LabVIEW).  Please try and keep a topic to just one thread.  You can reply back to that thread if you still have questions.

  • Controlling an SLM with labview

    I'm trying to control a spatial light modulator (Hamamatsu Photonics, X10468 SLM) using LabVIEW. The connections and LabVIEW program are as shown. When I move the image window
    generated by IMAQ WindMove, the display on SLM changes. Why is it so ?
    Attachments:
    Connection.png ‏4 KB
    SLMDisplay.png ‏21 KB

    Hi Alice12,
    Your USB to DVI converter creates a second (or third) monitor.  These days, most spatial light modulators work as an additional monitor.  Whatever the computer displays on that second monitor (program windows, the desktop, your mouse pointer) will be "displayed" on the SLM.  To display an image on the SLM, you need to create a window to display the image and then put that window on the second monitor.  That's what the WindDraw and WindMove VIs do -- they create a window to display your image and position the window on the second monitor.  Of course, if you move that window, the SLM display will change.  The SLM is displaying whatever your computer puts on the second monitor.
    While developing and testing your program, it is very helpful if you can temporarily replace the SLM with an actual second monitor.  If at all possible, get a monitor with a DVI input, connect it to your USB to DVI converter, and set it to a resolution that is as close as possible to your SLM (looks like 792x300 according to your program).  Then it will be easy to see what will actually be displayed on the SLM.  Once your program is 100% working and you want to run your experiment, unplug the extra monitor and plug the SLM in.
    A couple of other tips: You can replace those For loops with a single Initialize Array function (on the Programming > Array palette) -- resize it vertically to be the right number of array dimensions, then create a numeric constant with the value you want each element of the array, and right-click on the numeric constant and select Representation > U8.  Also, the IMAQ manual says you should call IMAQ WindClose when your program is done (I have little experience with IMAQ).
    Does this help?  Some of the specifics of getting the second monitor working properly depend on your operating system, so if you still need assistance it would be helpful to know what OS you're using and which version it is.

  • NVIDIA control (Shadowplay mostly) with LabVIEW via ActiveX - Does anyone have documentation?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm looking to capture my monitor video at around 30fps. ShadowPlay works well with my graphics card, and I've found that there is an ActiveX Library on the PC. The attached screenshot shows an example code for 5 seconds of capture. 
    Shadowplay only captures one monitor but I want it to capture both, or make two videos (one for each monitor) preferably. Although a possible work around would be recording one at a time but being able to programatically change between the two. The Shadowplay library is: ShadowPlayServerLib and the NVIDIA Library is: NVI2Lib (I presume this is NVIDIA but could be wrong)
    I can't find any documentation on the activeX commands so I'm struggling to know what inputs and outputs of the property nodes should be. Does anyone have any? A search of the internet brings up my own forum post on NVIDIAs website: 
    https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/805560/geforce-experience/shadowplay-activex-documentation-...
    Any help on the NVIDIA/ShadowPlay side of things would be great, alternatively any ideas for capturing video at 30fps (I tried to use .NET to capture the screen shots to png files but it only managed 2.5fps without saving them)
    Many thanks

  • Controlling Mouse cursor with Labview

    Dear Experts,
    I have a project trying to use Muscle signal to move a mouse cursor on computer screen. Basically, if the signal is positive, it moves to the right, and if it is negative it moves the cursor to the left.
    I've seen a friend did it before way back, but don't remember how. I've been spending a lot of time trying stuffs, but none works.
    It will be nice if someone can post a simple example or give me tips on how to do it
    Thanks!

    Similar but different: Waterloo Labs Eye Mario.
    The basic idea being acquiring data and when it exceeds a limit, an event fires registering an action. In this case it was a button click but for your application, modify it to change the cursor coordinates (increment or decrement the x or y position).

  • Controlling VI Logger 1.1.1 with LabVIEW 7.1

    I have LabVIEW 7.1 on my system and installed VI Logger (1.1 them upgraded to 1.1.1). I would like to programatically control VI Logger with LabVIEW. There are references to VIs under the Advanced pallate to do just that, but I cannot find them or any help files to explain what to do. Where do I find these VIs?

    Hello,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    After you install VI Logger, the VI Logger Subpalette should appear on the functions palette. See the attached screenshot.
    If they do not appear there, try to reinstall VI Logger.
    Let me know if you have further questions.

  • Windows 7 Compatability with Labview 8.0 and missing files while interfacing the FPGA with LV

    I am trying to use an FPGA (PCI-7830R) with Labview 8.0. The computer has Windows 7 OS. I installed LV 8.0 in the proper order with the FPGA Module and labview is able to see the FPGA when I open a .lvproj (the FPGA is in the tree) however there is a warning symbol next to the FPGA selection and when I try to open a .vi file that is used on the other stations in my lab (it works on all the other stations), labview is unable to find a whole bunch of files. There are some pictures.
