6024 Acquisition through LabView

I have two PCI-6024E's running under LabView 6.1
I'm currently running a 200ms sample time / sweep time and want to speed that up, ideally by a factor of 10.
If anyone has any code modules that optimise the reading and writing through these cards I would appreciate some input on how I can do this.
Thanks in advance

I was doing a continuous acquisition of every channel on both cards and writing to 3 of the 4 available analogue outputs.
I was acquiring 10 samples per analogue channel.
So that's 16 digital outputs and 16 analogue inputs and 3 analogue outputs.
The quickest I was able to service every input and output was once every 200ms.
Retrospectively I don't think I was using the NI vi's optimally. I've made a few changes and can now do the same operation every 60ms.
This still seems slow to me.
Thanks for the reply.

Framegrabber board control with ActiveX through LabView

I have a framegrabber board that is not from National Instruments. It is
from a
company called Coreco. The name of the board is the Bandit board. I have
been
trying to determine how to control it through LabView. Several weeks ago
I found
the ActiveX control for the Bandit board on the Coreco website (www.coreco.com).
I installed the control so that LabView could control the board. However,
I have not
been able to get image acquisition. I have read the instructions for the
ActiveX control,
but everything I try still does not start image acquisition. Does anyone
have experience
with both LabView and the Coreco Bandit ActiveX control. I would also consider
some other approach to controlling
the Bandit board. Thank you for any help
that
you can give.
Sincerely,
Trinity Ellis

FI MM integration _ Asset acquisition through PO

Hi,
in FI MM integration , Asset acquisition through PO - Do we need any configuration in OBYC/OBYD?
Thank you
Vedavatee

When you receive the asset through MIGO for Asset PO, system automatically consume this material for the specied Asset and Gl account which are mentioned in the PO.. these happened through the settings in OMWN..
Same way, you can stock the asset and later you issue to a Asset number and Gl account... so setting in OMWN with 201 movement and VBR are required. OMWN is mostly SAP standard and you can only change the account modifier if you want to have your own account modiefer for some specific reason. otherwise you dont need to change anything in OMWN.

How do I properly build a dll in cygwin (gcc) that can be loaded through Labview 5

I am a newbie to building dlls as well as to cygwin. I realize that this is more a cygwin/gcc dll build question, but I have built a dll (using cygwin) that can only be accessed by running an executable through cygwin. When I try accessing a function in the dll through labview, I keep getting a "function not found" error, even though the parameters etc are correctly passed.
If anyone has built a dll through cygwin (and has had success using it through Labview), I would appreciate directions on how to do so properly.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, this is a cygwin support question, so I won't be able to help you much from the LabVIEW side. Just make sure you follow the instructions in Using External Code in LabVIEW manual on gcc compiler.

AUC acquisition through IO

Hello Friends,
Could anybody explain me the procedure of AUC acquisition through Internal Order and settlement of this IO to AUC and AUC to main Asset?
Let me know the step wise details start from creation of IO to settlement to main Asset
Thanks to all
NMB

Hi
Create an IO - KO01 fill the details
Go to Extra tab select Asset Under Construction
Save
While doing the FI transaction the use the cost object Internal Order. The value are taken into IO.
To check the line items in Internal ORder use KOB1.
Settle the Internal order to AUC. Use KO88 and settle the order in processing type select Automatic remove the test run & execute.
Accounting Entry will be
AUC Dr
Contra Capitalized Cr
When AUC is completed and ready to move to Asset
Maintain settlement rule in KOB5. THe recevier shall be FXA and give the Asset No & %.
Again executive KO88 & in processing type select partial settlement or Full settlement and execute
Accounting Entry will be
Asset Dr
AUC Cr
Thanks

Is it possible through labview to set and read window¿s based file properties?

Any file in XP operating system has file properties associated with it, such as, size, location, when the file was created, modified and last accessed. I know that Labview has the ability to access the size and modified property. Other file types such as image format types jpg, bmp and tif have additional associated properties such as: title, subject, author, and comments. Is it possible through labview to read and set these properties programmatically?

Well, you can most probably do that by calling Windows API functions.
Note however that the properties you mention are not generic Windows
file properties but file specific internal attributes. Explorer does at
least in XP handle some of those properties and shows them to the user
but does so with internal file type handlers to extract the properties
from the file.
I'm not sure those file type handlers are actually available for other
applications than Explorer without quite some work. If they are
available they are certainly not part of the standard Win32 API but most
probably part of the Windows shell component and I would guess not just
through normal API function calls, but through the shell namespace
enumeration, which is built on COM interfaces, something you only can
call from standard programming languages, most of them are done in C++
(and if you are a little more persistant in standard C).
So you are likely to need to either write your own DLL doing the nitty
gritty work of calling the shell interface and using that DLL in LabVIEW
or find an Active X component which does the work for you. No doubt
there is such an Active X component somewhere but how good and expensive
is always a big question.

Using Intermec printers to print through LabVIEW

Hi! I would like to call my Intermec label printer to print through LabVIEW over the serial connection (RS-232 port) but I have no idea on how to start. Anyone has any suggestions or examples that I can refer to ?
Thanks!
Regards,
YuanGe

Hi Smercurio,
Thanks for the reply. I only have some example programs which were written using Visual Basic 6.0 as reference. I do have the Intermec Programming Language(IPL) Guide also.
I had tried to do some callings to the printer using the commands from the IPL Guide, but it seems that the printer doesn't respond to anything at all. I am using the basic_serial_write_and_read.vi to do some serial programming with the printer and LabVIEW but to no avail. Every command that I tried to input, the read control returns exactly what I had input, which probably shows that it is not working as I hope it is.
I had used LabVIEW for my final year project during my university days, but it had nothing to do with serial connection/communication, so you can say I am a greenhorn in this area.
Attached is the VI that I used to do the calling and the IPL Guide.
Many thanks!

YuanGe

How to upload a template in sharepoint and send notification through labview?

Hi,
i am trying to make a form in LabView and want to send notification through labview if possible and upload it on sharepoint site. Can it be done?
I am attaching the vi. in this i have few questions?
In front panel if you click STANDARD there will be several options through which we can choose from. For every option which is clicked by user i need to get a pop up box in which there will be options which user want to choose. example if user select A then pop up box pops out and there will be 5 things in which he need to tick depending on what he wants. I tried to make case for each options but could not understand how to do it.
And
How to make Submit, Exit, preview order buttons?
Thank You

WEB_TEST.vi ‏13 KB

Hello Hnagpal,
I just wanted to clarify the question first. Are you basically wanting to create a LabVIEW VI that you can upload to a Microsoft SharePoint site, and then have users who go to the SharePoint site run this VI directly from the site, and essentially see the front panel on SharePoint site? If this is the case, I don't believe this currently supported in LabVIEW. There may be a way to do it by creating a web service with your VI first, and then using this web service file in conjunction with sharepoint, but that may be tricky to get working.
As for making case structures, the case structure you have in your VI will only run once (you need to put it in a while loop if you want the functionality of having it update when the user changes their selection). The case structure will choose the case that is selected when the user first runs the VI. You also need to put the code you want to run for each case inside the respective cases of the structure (I assume this was your next step since there is currently nothing inside the case structure).
To make various buttons, you can go to the front panel, right click and go to "modern" then "boolean" and put and "ok button" on your front panel. You can then change the name of the button to whatever you want and edit the text it displays (like Submit, Exit, or Preview). I hope this helps!

I would like to know if i can share variable across internet through labview?

Hi, I am trying to learn how to share measured data across internet through labview so that it can be viewed and controlled offline. For this i have seen the G server configuration guide. Can i have a shared variable so that the data logged into this variable can be accessed and controlled through the other remote system. Further can i have some theresholding operation on this shared variable to raise a alarm when the condition is satisfied.
If there is some reference document which can clear these issues then kindly post the same.
Regards
Shashi

differential equation wrote:
I have read the link which you have forwarded. I just want to reconfirm my understanding that if we want to share the variable using single process then we don't require any special hardware but in all other cases we need to have dedicated hardware.
You don't need any dedicated hardware. The variable engine can run on your local computer.

Control MAX through labview

Hi,
Is there any way by which I can control and make selections in MAX through labview code?
I need to select driver sessions for IVI classes of instruments. For this it will be good if I can create IVI classes and select driver sessions programatically using labview.
Any take on this?

JoshuaP wrote:
The closest thing to a programmatic API for MAX is the NI System Configuration API, however I don't think that you can currently use it to configure IVI settings.
No, you cant use any existing API to programatically adjust IVI config settings.
However, all of these settings persist in "XML-Hell." With the right file manipulations, regisistry entries and / or details on what, if any, services need to be triggered to update it is THEORETICALLY possible.

I Wouldn't try it without serious NI involvement. There is almost certainly a better way to get what you want.

Disable "Close" button of command prompt through LabVIEW using Win32 APIs

Hello all,
I am trying to disable the close button of a third party console application that I am invoking through LabVIEW. I tried using GetSystemMenu() and DeleteSystemMenu() from user32.dll, but somewhere I am doing it wrong.
Can anyone can suggest a solution to this?
Thanks!

Do you have the handle to Window? Off hand, I don't know how to delete it, but here is some C# code that I used to grey out the close window button in another project:
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern IntPtr GetSystemMenu(IntPtr hWnd, bool bRevert);
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern bool EnableMenuItem(IntPtr hMenu, uint uIDEnableItem,
           uint uEnable);
        private const Int32 SC_CLOSE = 0xF060;
        private const UInt32 MF_BYCOMMAND    =0x00000000;
        private const UInt32 MF_ENABLED = 0x00000000;
        private const UInt32 MF_GRAYED = 0x00000001;
        private const UInt32 MF_DISABLED = 0x00000002;
        private void EnableClose(bool enable)
            IntPtr pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(Handle, false);
            if (pSysMenu != null)
                EnableMenuItem(pSysMenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND | (enable ? MF_ENABLED : MF_DISABLED));
This was fairly easy to convert over once I had the handle (this is from a library I picked up somewhere).
Hope this helps.

There is no standardized way to change the IP configuration of remote devices. It is all depending on that device itself. Some use bootp procedure, some use custom (proprietary) UDP messaging, some are only reconfigurable through DHCP and some are simply not reconfigurable remotely at all.
What applies to your device you will have to find out yourself. Quite often it is the second one and in that case unless the manufacturer documents the UDP protocol to do so, which they seldom do, the only option is to use the configuration utility that is provided by the manufacturer. If it is a command line utility you can call it through System Exec otherwise you will have to do it outside of LabVIEW.

DC motor closed loop control through labview using usb 6008

Hello
i am doing a project in which i want to control the speed of a DC motor (PID control) through labVIEW 2010. I am having a DC motor, a drive unit that regulates the voltage to the motor by getting analog voltage from 0 to 3.3V ( it can be used for both directions) and i also have a NI usb 6008 board. The problem is that i can't feed the usb 6008 with the digital signal from my hall effect speed sensor. Is it posible with this setup to control the motor?? I can also try to use the pulse as analog input and trasform the frequency into rpm's. Then i am thinking of generating an analog signal to feed the motor drive. If you have any further suggestion of a probably better hardware setup would be more than helpfull to me.
Sincerely
Jason Chaloulos

Hello Michael
Thanks for the reply. I came across those topics before and all of them are trying to generate a PWM signal as output i want to use just an analog signal output so timing on the output is not that important i guess. i am struggling on getting the frequency from the digital input signal that my hall effect sensor generates. Since the maximum speed of the motor is 3000 rpm and with my tooth wheel the maximum output frequency of the sensor will be 300Hz which i see its way less than the limitation of my ni board. Is there any tutorial documentation that might help me with this one ? Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Jason
