How to control more than one instrument via different interfaces at the same time

Hi, I am new to Labview.  I am working in a project where I have to make a Automated testing tool . So, here is the set up -  I have a Chip on a board to which there are several instruments connected namely Agilent power supply, Agilent pattern generator, oscilloscope,Dmm and Thermotron. All these instruments will be connected to the host computer via ethernet, GPIB or RS232. I have to write a program on Labview where the program  should be able to communicate with these  instruments  at  the same time  and show the ouput  on display unit . I have to run the program once, should be able to view the ouputs. So, Is it possible to write such program in Labview??.  I have  downloaded  few instuments  drivers. Is it possible to combine those intrument drivers and construct a new VI which would be able to control all this ??   Will it be easier to program this on Labview or  I should  go for Labwindows/CVI  ??.
Please mention some useful sites or tips (if u know) for writing program.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shasanka,
ofcourse it's possible to control more than one instrument at a time.
You should use the VISA routines to access all your devices. Every device get it's 'address' as 'VISA resource name'. This resource name contains information on the used bussystem and the (internal) device address (i.e. GPIB devices have an address number).
So I suggest to read the manual and to look at the examples that come with LabView!
And (from your question) it seems you should take the 3 or 6 hour seminar as well! (Look at www.ni.com -> academics.)

  • Can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.

    Ryan,
    Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say that the program which ran first cannot find its report?  Are you trying to modify the same report simultaneously with these different apps?

  • Can I configure my Bluetooth connections to use more than one wireless audio output device at the same time?

    I am trying to get my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.5) Bluetooth system to recognize 2 different wireless speakers at the same time. both are currently paired with mu computer and can be chosen independently and work nicely.

    Version 10.0.3 is the latest version of iMovie. iMove '11 (as in 2011) is version 9.
    iMovie saves your Projects automatically. So you can just choose to create a new Project. Your existing Projects will remain available for you to go back to whenever you like.
    You can have as many Projects as you like. You don't need ot finish one before you begin another.
    Post back if you have specific questions.

  • Can't connect more than one PC to my network at the same time.

    When trying to connect a second wireless laptop to my network, the one already connected gets disconnected. I'm using a WRT110 router(cable connection) that I bought 5 days ago, and two laptops with Win Vista. I don't have any PC wired connected.

    First thing which you need to do is upgrade the firmware of your Router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads... ......insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    Once you configure all the settings on your router... here are some wireless settings which you can set on your Router and i think this might make your both the wireless computers go Online...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Is it possible to have more than one event/project in Imovie at the same time?

    Let me see if I can shorten this. I am working on a project for a review. It's going to take quite awhile and I'm half way through it. However, I need to work on another project, one thats short and I can dish out fairly quickly. My problem is that I cannot start it without discarding my current project. Which I cannot do because I will lose a weeks worth of data. And I cannot save it because it will combine all the clips and I would have to re-split them (half a days progress).
    So in short, is there a way to save my project as-is? Or possible create a new event and start a new project while maintaining my current work? Thank you for your help!

    Version 10.0.3 is the latest version of iMovie. iMove '11 (as in 2011) is version 9.

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

  • How to send more than one doc via email from Pages on iPad

    When sending a resume and a cover letter via Pages from my iPad, how do I send a second document via the same email?

    What fruhulda said. In addition, in the Mail composition window, I recommend that you select the paperclip icon from the Toolbar, and enable Send Windows-Friendly Attachments.
    You can also select multiple files in the Finder and drag them onto the composition window. In my experience, the documents resist an iconic state, so right-click on just one, and choose View as Icon from the contextual menu. This will transform all attached documents into icons.
    If you want to send just one document from within Pages v5, use the Share icon in the Toolbar and select Send a Copy > Email. You can then choose PDF (and its image quality), or Word (.docx default, or .doc) document formats that will be attached as an icon in a new pop-up Email composition window.

  • How do I set up the app FindMyiPhone on more than one phone when all phones have the same Apple ID?

    I have two iPhones and I want to set up FindMyiPhone on both phones but we both have the same apple acct.  I want to be able to track my teenage son's whereabouts and this would be a good way.  When I log into iCloud, only my iPhone shows up.  His used to but after I did a weekly restart on my iPhone I lost his.  Before, mine wasn't showing up, only his.  Now mine show's up but his doesn't.

    You could look at using a template.  Create your master template, create editable and non-editable regions, then use this template create all the child pages.  When you need to make a change to the menu, make it in the template and the changes will flow down to all the pages created from the template.
    Using DW Templates:

    Difference between using a template and server side includes.
    When you make a change to a template, you need to re-upload all the pages created from the template.
    Using a SSI, you make the change in the ssi file,  upload it and all pages are automatically updated.
