6601 configurat​ion instructio​n with LabView

I have a 6601 card.
I would like to use it both for encoder readings as well as events up/down counre.
I am quit confused regarding how to configure the 6601 with the LabView.
Can anyone give me link to a general instruction of how to configure the 6601 using the LabView 7.0
Thanks

Greetings Amnon-g,
There are actually example programs online and programs that ship with LabVIEW 7.0 that show you how to configure a counter on a NI 6601 for encoder measurements and event counting. The NI 660x devices are not yet supported by NI-DAQmx but you can still use Traditional NI-DAQ to program the 6601.
If you search for examples in LabVIEW and go to Hardware Input and Output>>Traditional DAQ>>Counters>>NI-TIO you will find all of the examples that will work with the NI 6601 device. For example, the 'Count Edges (NI-TIO) VI' shows you how to configure a counter on the 6601 to count digital edges.
The example program linked below shows how to configure a counter on the NI 6601 to take encoder measurements.
NI-TIO: Measuring the Position of an
Encoder

    Hi Bill,
    it's not a solution.
    It's a hint to not post the same question in several threads across the forum. We are all volunteers (atleast most of us) and we don't like to answer questions already answered in other posts.  To prevent this situation a posted a link to your original question…

  • How can I Save and Load the Configurat​ion File of a VNA HP8510C with LabView

    Hello, I'm working with a HP8510C. In order to simplfy the use, I try to save and to load the configuration file. Actually, such files are saved in the HP8510C, but there is only 4 places to save. It will be more interresting when I can storage this file in the computer with Labview. I don't have found anything about in the Documentation.

  • Error 2901 - Source Control configurat​ion with MKS Source Integrity Suite 2005

    I am trying to configure source control option with LabVIEW 8.5.1 and MKS Source Integrity Client 2005 (Build 4.7.0.3465/service pack 015-01), and experiencing the following error:
    Error -2901 occurred at prefPage_Source Control.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  An error occurred during source control provider initialization.
    To reproduce:
    1) Install MKS and configure it to integrate MS Visual Studio.NET/2003/2005.
    2) LabVIEW Tools->Options->SourceControl.
    3) Select 'MKS SCC Integration' from the drop down menu for 'Source Control provider name'
    4) Error 2901
    I am running it on Windows XP, and I was informed that source control with MKS did not produce this error with LabVIEW 8.2.1.  Is there a service pack or a work around for this?
    Thanks,

    I am seeing this same error but when I look thru the registry I do not see the
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mortice Kern Systems\Integrations\SCC\IDEs\National Instruments LabVIEW] entry. I have not set up a sandbox on my local machine yet.
    I am using the following:
    Labview 2010
    MKS Integrity 2007
    In MKS I have enabled Microsoft Visual Studio.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
    In Labview under Tools/Source Control/Configure Source Control/Source Control Provider Name I can select MKS SCC Integration. However I get the following error "Could not locate registry information for the SCC-enabled IDE: National Instruments LabVIEW The MKS Integrity SCC Extension may not be installed correctly. Do you want to attempt to use the base SCC functionality?"
    This is then followed up by this error "Could not set the registry entry SOFTWARE/Mortice Kern Systems/Integrations/SCC/IDEs=National Instruments LabVIEW The registry has not been modified properly. The SCC Extensions will not work until the entry has been set properly.
    Then I recieve the Error-2908 occured at prefPage_Source Control.vi.
    Am I missing something on the install from MKS? I installed it from our local network and selected the Windows Client Install.

  • How can I find the vanishing point with Labview?

    Hi Guddan,
    I created a RFC having a query which is taking a long time to execute. So i want to close RFC connection with portals which is via java connector(JCO) before that query and open the connction again after that query.
    I guess i will need to understand your requirement a little more in detail, as i understand you have an RFC which has a query within to fetch some data and is taking a long time to do so. In the meantime you don't want to keep the connection open?
    My question would be, Is the role of this RFC to only execute the query and fetch the data or does it do something else?
    If it does other things and these are independent of the query execution, then you can span a parallel call within the RFC to execute the query and in the meantime the RFC does the other things (or vice versa) hence reducing the overall time taken.
    If the sole purpose of this RFC is to execute the query, then you will not be able(i mean to say there is no simple and direct way of doing this) to close the connection after the Query is started and re-establish the connection after its execution, for a simple reason that - how will you know if the query has completed it's execution, so that you can establish the connection back.
    Alternate solutions, make this a two way asynchronous call, 1) You invoke the RFC asynchronously and close the connection, the RFC in turn will execute the query and transfer the data to JCO via another RFC call.
    If this needs to be a synchronous call, then you will need to optimize the query to its best.

    Chen

  • Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server

  • How can I create a scene and move 3D models in INSIGHT with Labview?

    Hi!
    I need some help in doing a LabView application. What i have to do is controlling a 3D model represented in Insight with Labview. Something similar like the six-axis-robot example. I follow the insight configuration wizard, but nothing moves. Comparing the ".cis" files in my program and the one from the six-axis-robot, i found that in the six-axis-robot file contains something called localsystem and the one made by me, doesn't. Can be this the problem? How can I make it work? I would need some kind of step-by-step response, because i'am a beginner with Insight and 3D models. Thanks in advance!
    Regards!
    Juan

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm actually finding the next problem. Although in my VRML file the objects are defined separately in a jerarchy tree, I can't move(rotate, translate) each object individually. I have noticed that when i define a new local system and asign it the points of the object i want move in the way you explain (right click, and then dragging the points to the new local axis), the movement of this object is dependent of the other local systems i have defined for other objects , specially if the slave  nodes of the .cis file has a lower numeration than the object i want to move. The fact is, the movements assigned , for example to the nodes 1 to 100, will affect to the rest of the nodes if i also define for the rest of the nodes other movements. How can i solve this? I send you my .cis file, just in case my explanation is not enough clear. In this file you can see that movements assigned to nodes 1 to 4078, will also affect to nodes 4079 to 7168, and what i would like to do is define a movement for each obeject independently.
    Thanks again!

  • Excel with Labview 6?

    I'm trying to get Excel '97 to work with Labview 6.02, but I'm always receiving error message: -2147319784: "old format or invalid type library". I modified windows registry as told in LV knowledgebase. After that I could see Excel components in ActiveX pull down menus. I have tried to run demos such as "Open Excel And Make visible.vi" but they always output the error message. I have tried this with both Windows 2000 and NT. Other programmes, for instance MS Access, seem to work fine. What is the catch?

    Anders,
    You have run into a special case of the problem that actually has a work around for it. However, you will have to contact LabVIEW technical support to obtain the temporary fix since they need to keep track of all the people with this special case.

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

  • Calling a VI which uses "system exec.vi" with LabVIEW run-time engine as adapter

    Hi,
    My TestStand sequence calls a VI which includes a call to "system exec.vi". When I try to load it in TestStand and if LabVIEW adapter is set to run-time engine, I get an error message "Unable to load Vi...". If I switch the adapter to "Development system", then it works fine.
    Is there any way to use "system exec.vi" in a VI which is called in TestStand with LabVIEW run-time ?

  • How do you use Synergy 7.1 with LabVIEW?

    My company has reciently installed and configured IBM Rational Synergy 7.1 to be used as our Source Code Control tool.  I have installed the appropriate Microsoft Source Code Control Interface so that Synergy will show up in LabVIEW and it does show up in the "Source Control" options window.
    However when I select Synergy as my source control tool it does the following:
    1.  Brings up the login window - I am able to login with no problem
    2.  Brings up a dialog allowing me to select the project to work on, and after I select the project I get two errors...
    one from Synergy: "The workspace/project you want to add to IBM Rational Synergy is not under the work area path 'C:\xxx"
    (where xxx is my work area for the Synergy project I selected)
    then one from LabVIEW:  "Error -2941 occured at prefPage_Source Control.vi     An error occured trying to get the source control project path.    Possible reasons:  LabVIEW:  The source control provider does not support the specified operation."
    I first tried this on an earlier version of Synergy that matched what is being used in:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/16D37CCC8659123F8625720500087DB4
    But I was getting pretty much the same errors back then too.  It seems like it should work in LabVIEW, I just have no idea what I am doing wrong!
    Anyone out there successfully using LabVIEW with Synergy????
    Thanks,
    Trevor.

    In theory if a source control provider supports the Microsoft SCC interface, it *should* work with LabVIEW. In practice, each provider has custom implementation that sometimes causes problems when trying to configure the provider from LabVIEW. One sticking point for many providers is the expectation or assumption that an IDE will use some concept of a "project" and therefore pass data associated with that project to the provider. LabVIEW does not enforce that concept but does pass valid information.
    Synergy was tested back when it was a Telelogic product. It was difficult to configure and required exact steps to get it to work correctly. The linked knowledge base were steps taken that worked for a few customer setups. It's possible that on other Synergy setups the exact steps may not work. Also, you might check to make sure you try to configure existing Synergy projects  and not try to create new ones from LabVIEW.
    The error you mentioned seems to imply that some data is not supported by Synergy. I am not sure if Synergy would be able to track down the issue, but I would recommend contacting them to see if they can pinpoint what data LabVIEW is sending is not valid.

    You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
    Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.
