Please help this newbie make a start with LabView 7

Sorry for these very very basics but I failed to resolve these myself though I did my best.
I try to make a GPIB i/o on a block diagram.How to ?
I cannot find such in the functions menu.
I find only a vi for typing direct commands ( which does work ).
I tried many many variances, but end of all i get stuck, e.g. at : file>new>instrument i/o(gpib)>read and display>right click>controls>search>i/o....i get stuck.
I am afraid I do miss a lot.....
I have a NI GPIB PCI 488.2 card and some HPIB instuments.
The PCI card and the NI 488.2 drivers work.
I can read the instruments' dev.#.
How should I implement instruments' r/w commands in an i/o block diagram ( if possible at all ).
I cannot use VISA ( I
assume C++ or VB is needed for that, which is beyond my capabilities ).
Any help will be gratefully welcomed.
Peter van Daalen.

LabVIEW can do VISA and NI-488.2 directly; you don't need C++ or VB.
First of all, you should see if there are instrument drivers available for your instruments. There are thousands of free drivers available on http://ni.com/idnet/. Search there first, because if you can find a driver for any of your instruments, it will save you a lot of time.
If you can't find a driver, you will have to send and receive messages from the instrument directly, and this is where NI-VISA and NI-488.2 come in. The simplest way to get started with this direct communcation is to use the "Instrument I/O Assistant". This is in your "Functions->Input" palette, and you can read about it in the online help.
The Instrument I/O Assistant will bring up a dialog to select th
e device, send it a command and parse the results. Once you click "OK", it creates an Express VI on your diagram for you to incorporate into the rest of your application.
I hope this helps you get started.

  • Please help this: JNLP association extensions confict with arguments

    Hello, Please help this:
    I use <argument> tag to transfer some parameters to JWS application.
    I also use <associatio> tag to associate a specila file(such as .zzz) to JNLP. But when I doulbe click .zzz file, my application only get "-open" and file path as argument, those parameters in <argument> tag in my jnlp are lost!
    What should I do

    ..Is this a bug for JWS? No.
    ..association extensions tag conflicts with <argument>?Quoting the 'JNLP Specification', section 3
    'JNLP file', part 5 'Descriptor Information', under
    association element/mime-type attribute
    "An application making such a request
    should be prepared to have its main

    -open filename and -print filename

  • I am totally confused!  Please help this newbie :-)

    Hi there,
    I am sorta new to Java. I've learned the basics of the language, but now I am finding myself totally confused with all the new stuff. There is SOOOOO much stuff on the java.sun.com website that I don't know where to begin.
    Ok, here is my question. Well, questions.
    1. Is there a document that describes when exactly one would want to use the J2EE as opposed to the J2SE?
    2. I want to develop a multi-platform small business desktop application. This application needs to support multiple users accessing a database on a server. It also needs to be capable of accessing a web service via the Internet. And there will be a web-based version of the application. So given these requirements, how do I know if I need the J2EE or not? I would like to avoid requiring the J2EE. The idea being to have a desktop application that can be sold for around $100 per seat license. J2EE application servers are relatively expensive, are they not?
    Where do I even begin? Can someone point me to a document or some information?
    Incidentally, I want to do all my development on Linux.
    Thanks for any help!
    Joe

    Suppose somebody said to you "I have just started to learn to cook, and I would like to open a restaurant in Paris. What should I serve, and will I need to know French?" What advice would you give that person? Well, hopefully you would tell that person to get a job washing dishes or waiting tables at a local restaurant and learn the business starting from the ground up.
    Same answer in your case. Start with J2SE and work on learning Java. Also learn about Internet technologies. Then probably after several months to a year you will start to understand the business, and the answers to your questions will become clearer.

    I have an iMac which I just picked up used. My problem is that I just installed an HP 1600 all in one. I downloaded the OS X drivers for it and everything went well. However the computer has an older version of Mac: Word & Excel (2001) and when I use these programs it goes into what I think is called classic mode. Then when I go to print, the printer I just installed is not present. In fact, when I go to the chooser there is a list of printers that I have no idea where they came from. How can I print to this newly installed printer from these programs and how do I delete these other printers which I don't have.
    Ps. When I go to the Print Center the only printer present is the newly installed HP. Also when I click on the configure button it does nothing. Did I do something wrong during the install?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Hi, alpinecow -
    If that printer is usable in OS 9, you will probably need to install software for it into OS 9. Check the CD that came with the printer to see if there is an OS 9 (or Classic) set of software for it.
    I'm not familiar with that specific model HP printer, but may HP printers, particularly laser ones, are comfortable using OS 9's LaserWriter 8 driver. In Chooser, try clicking on LaserWriter 8 in the left pane; if the printer then shows up in the right pane, click it, then the Create or Setup button that becomes active at the bottom of that pane.
    There are some things that work differently in Classic vs. how they work in OS 9. If that printer needs AppleTalk, you may need to enable AppleTalk in Chooser. Not sure how that works in Classic, since OSX is running the hardware.
    As far as getting rid of other printers, go into the OS 9 (Classic) System Folder (not the folder named System, that's OSX), here - System Folder >> Printing Prefs >> Parsed PPD Folder, and from that folder discard the items for printers that no longer exist for that machine.

  • Please help this newbie - Link to a Tabbed widget

    I have 4 Categories/links on the main splash page which I need to link to a widget on a separate page.  I need each link to go to the appropriate tab on the widget.  Is this something that is possible?  I have used the anchor/place gun on each tab and I have linked to them.  But when I preview, it each link goes to the same tab.  What am I missing?

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I had considered that and wondered if that would work, however, we were trying to avoid having to have the extra pages.  Hopefully in the next update we will get this ability.

    Best regards, John.

    because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
    John,
    William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.
    Regards

    Please help, my iMac will not start up, the apple comes up and the wheel goes round but then I am left with a blank white screen. Has anyone any ideas.

    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

    Hi there,
    this morning my macbook was not blocked and i forced to shut down, then i cannot start up and i keep on getting this screen that i attach. I tried to boot in safe mode but it won't let me, also make a hardware cheek and won't let me either, please help me , i can't work with out my computer
    THANKS!

    If you want to preserve the data on the startup drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive or other storage device to hold the data.
    1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

    We've seen this bug on machines running IE6 with a certain security patch (I forget its number). There's a thread in the Metalink reports forum about it. It appears to be somewhat tied to another problem where IE runs the report twice (you can see that in Showjobs. You're seeing the problem in 6i; I believe it persists in 9i.
    The workarounds are (1) set Acrobat so it doesn't open within IE or (2) switch to a different browser, like Netscape. For workaround 1, Start Acrobat Reader, Choose File -> Preferences -> General, Uncheck Web Browser Integration
    There's some evidence that it occurs more often with urls that include single quote characters. I think it's worse with XP, but I don't have any proof.
    If you check Adobe's site, you will see this isn't just an Oracle Reports problem. I think we're waiting for Microsoft on this one, so don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

    Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
    to Rick:
    I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
    - Working Space: None
    - Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
    But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
    to both of you:
    Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
    What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
    So, would you have any solution for this problem?
    Again, many thanks for your fast replies!
