ABS from MATLAB (simulink) to Labview (.vi file)

Hello
My Antiskid Control System project requires me to plot the graphs of wheel speed and vehicle speed. The original model is from Matlab simulink file-absbrake(this is an example of control)
I tried to convert the whole system into labview representation. I donot want to use SIT or RT or any other Labview tools. I wanted to convert from Simulink model into Labview element-by-element. Can anyone help me...plss
my due date for submission is 15march...so please help me

abs.vi is the file that i attempted to 'convert' from matlab into labview

How can I put C files gave me from Matlab Simulink Real Time Workshop in a CIN?

I'm doing a turbine simulation, and I've already done it in Matlab Simulink Real Time Workshop. It gave me files .c, and I want to use them to run the same simulation on a PCI 7030/6040 using LabView RT 5.1. I'm using the CINs. My problem is that I'm able to have .lsb files, but them don't work....I mean I have as output the same result 0(zero). What can I do for solving my problem?
Thanks in advance!!

Somehow, this question was posted twice on the same day. See the other posting of this same question for the answer.

Schnittstellen zwichen Matlab/Simulink und Labview

Hallo Leute,
ich habe ein Diplomthema wo ich muss ein Fpga I/O (muss nicht die ganze I/O sein) mit ein block in Simulink(Simulink Model) aufrufen.
im moment kann ich die Programmierung des Fpga auf ni pxi 7813R unter labview machen und dann würde mir ein file konfiguriet.
Um ein Simulink model mit Labview zu verbinden braucht man SIT .
Jetzt kommt die Frage :die I/O des Model kann ich nur unter labview definieren, nun musse ich jetzt in meiner Diplomaufgabe in Matlab/Simulink in einer Blockset definieren .
Weiss jemand irgendein Information darüber, ich weiss noch nicht wie kann ich das realisieren. bitte sagen sie mir jede Information die mir helfen kann . ich wäre sehr dankbar
houssa

Hi,
ich benötige leider dringend und kurzfristig Hilfe.
Ich hab eine 10-15 Seitige Hausarbeit geschrieben bzw. bin noch dabei, es geht um die Kopplung von Simulink mit LabVIEW zu schreiben.
Die Note der Hausarbeit, wird meine Zeugnisnote für dieses Fach sein.
Daher suche ich jemanden der sich das durchlesen kann und von der Materie versteht.
Natürlich gegen Zahlung
Bitte um schnelle Rückmeldung.

Matlab, simulink et labview

Bonjour à tous,
Je me suis renseigné sur le sujet, et j'aimerai savoir si j'ai bien compris.
On peut incorporer du code matlab dans labview , via la boite script "matlab" du diagramme, pour utiliser simulink avec labview, il faut creer une dll à partir du code généré sous simulink.
Est ce que j'ai bon, ou peut on incorporer aussi du code sous simulink dans Labview, via une boite spéciale.
Merci pour vos réponses

Bonjour,
Merci d’être venu sur le forum de National Instruments.
A priori vous avez bien compris comment intégrer du code Mathlab dans LabVIEW. Pour ce qui est de Simulink il faut effectivement appeler un DLL créé sous Simulink. Ce lien vous permettra de savoir comment faire.

Measure signals from Matlab Simulink Model

Hi,
I modeled a six bus power system network on Matlab/Simulink and I would like to measure the voltage and current signals using a DAQ card. The DAQ card im having is a
NI PCI-6132 S Series Multifunction DAQ. How do I go about acquiring this signals?
Regards,
Louwrence

Hey Louwrence,
Are you going to be using the 6132 card with LabVIEW to acquire the signals? If so, you should look in the NI Example Finder that is installed with LabVIEW. Go to Help>> Example Finder. Then go to Hardware Input and Output>> DAQmx>> Analog Measurement and choose the example you would like to look at.
If you are trying to use the card through MATLAB, you will need the DAQ Toolbox. You can check for official compatibility here. I do not know what is installed with this toolbox as it is not National Instruments. There may be some examples in there however.
Hope this helps.

Matlab specgram in labview

Hello,
I am trying to implement the function specgram of matlab in Labview.
In matlab I enter a sound signal sig1 (50.000 x 2 array) with a sampling rate Fs1 = 22050.
I also define a window size of 512.
I execute b1 = specgram(sig1(:,1),windowsize,Fs1);
The result is a 2D complex double array.
Now i am trying to implement the same function in Labview.
I have already tried to use the STFT function or the FFT function in labview but I don't get close to the results I get from matlab.
Attached:
An ASCII file with the input signal: sig1.txt
Two ASCII files with the output of the matlab code:
b1real.txt --> The real part of the output
b1imag.txt --> The imaginary part of the output.
The matlab code: Matlab.txt
Thanks in advance for any kind of help

Hello P-J,
I don't completely get your logic.
It seems that I'm missing something in your explanation.
In your original matlab-code you're performing the specgram function on the 1D array sig(:,1).
Therefor in LabVIEW it would be logic that you want to perform a similar function on the same 1D array.
Otherwise any comparison results will not make alot of sense.
Please also note that it's very dangerous to say that audio signals are the same on the left and the right side of a stereo-signal.
This often is not the case and could lead to incorrect interpretations of correct measurements.
Are you using the specgram function from the Signal Processing Toolbox?
http://www.engmath.dal.ca/courses/engm6610/notes/specgram.html
Or are you using another version of the specgram function?
If you're using this version of the specgram function, then the special length of the matlab-function can be explained by this line on the website above:
If a is real, specgram computes the discrete-time Fourier transform at positive frequencies only. If n is even, specgram returns nfft/2+1 rows (including the zero and Nyquist frequency terms). If n is odd, specgram returns nfft/2 rows. The number of columns in B is
k = fix((n-numoverlap)/(length(window)-numoverlap))
This completely explains the number of rows you get over here.
On the other side the STFT function will calculate a short time Fourrier transform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-time_Fourier_transform)
This is different from the DTFT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-time_Fourier_transform) used in your original specgram function.
I think you might have overlooked these differences.
A short summary of different kinds of FT's can be found over here:
http://narnia.cs.ttu.edu/drupal/node/46
Is there a specific reason why you need to have exactly the same calculation?
Coming back to what is going wrong in your VI I can explain this quite easily.
First take a look at this page:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvanls/stft_spectrogram_core/
Over here you see that they give the following definition:
time steps specifies the number of samples to shift the sliding window.
This should not be -1 if you want to have a similar calculation. It should be equal to the numoverlap parameter used in the specgram function.
After a short calculation you can find that in your original specgram calculation this was 256.
Please also redo this calculation at your side and check if you get a similar result.
One last word about the comparison is the following:
- In LabVIEW the STFT function returns the actual magnitude of the spectrogram.
- The specgram function returns the windowed discrete-time Fourier transform of a signal using a sliding window. The actual spectrogram is the magnitude of this function.
In your last e-mail you note that you are not allowed to install/use MathScript.
Are you sure you’re not confusing Matlab (non-NI software) with Mathscript (NI software: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/nl/nid/207300) ?
Most likely the MathScript RT Module is already installed with your LabVIEW installation.
If it’s not, then most likely you should be allowed to use it with your license.
Can you share your serial number privately with me?
That way I can check if you should be allowed to use the MathScript RT Module.

Control VI from Matlab

I need to control a VI from Matlab (Simulink).
The VI controls the operation of digital cameras, which I would like to trigger from Simulink.
I just need to send a signal to trigger the cameras, but this should be relatively fast.
What's the best way to accomplish this?
The VI and the Simulink model are on different computers on the same network.
Thank you for your help.

Hello
I propose to use the ActiveX automation server. From Matlab is is very easy to call executable vi and make it do what you want. It is stable, fast and easy.
useful commands are (just coppied from my code - hope you can follow):
If you test it through the development environment you use:
LVapp = actxserver('Labview.Application');
if it is executable you use:
LVapp = actxserver('Your_App.Application');
%call your vi in to memory
viPath = 'Your_top_vi.vi';
vi = LVapp.GetVIReference(viPath) ; % 'Load the vi into memory
% 0 - invisible, 1 - visible
%vi.FPWinOpen = 0;
vi.FPWinOpen = 1;
%if you want to set control values you use:
invoke(vi,'SetControlValue','Your_Control_Label','Your_value');
% if you want to execute the vi you use:
vi.Run;
Hope it helps

Is it possible to read data from MATLAB *.mat file using LabVIEW?

I have *.mat file from Matlab with some data. Does anybody know how to extract them from this file. I need to know the file format.

The Mathworks site is pretty good about having documentation for the formats of their file types. I recommend looking there for the format.

No output from Simulink to LabVIEW with Simulation Interface Toolkit (0/1)

I'm able to send data from labview to simulink, but the labview
display doesn't show any output from the simulink model. I've attached
two very simple labview and simulink files which gives me this
problem. I have the same problem when trying to implement the sinewave
example in the manual for the toolkit as well.
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 Pro, Matlab 6.5 and Simulink 5.0 on WinXP pro.

The Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0.1 or earlier does not work with LabVIEW 7.1. There is a patch available (or available soon) from NI support that corrects this problem. THe patch is Simulation Interface Toolkit 2.0.2.

Error in Calling a dll built in labview from Matlab standalone

hello,
The problem I encountered is in the use of the math interface toolkit. I
created a dll which performs data fitting using a labview vi which i converted into a dll using the
math interface toolkit.
This dll is then called from a standalone matlab program. It works fine in the computer where I
create the matlab standalone program and labview dll. Howerver when i export to another
computer the matlab part runs fine but an error is reported when it tries to
call the labview created dll.
"One or more output arguments not assigned during call Parfit.dll"
The files related to this problem in the math interface toolkit (the labview vi, the corresponding dll and the matlab .m and .fig files and the standalone exe are in the attachment and named MathITproblem.zip
The matlab run time engine(for matlab 7) and labview runtime engine(ver 7.1) must be installed for this matlab file to run. the run time engines are downloadable from the web.
Does any one know the source of this error or encountered it before?
thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Just another note, I noticed that the Math Interface Toolkit version (MIT) 1.0 is not compatible with LabVIEW 7.1. You’ll need version 1.0.1. of the MIT toolkit in order for it to work with LabVIEW 7.1.
The LabVIEW 7.0 lvanlys.dll is also attached. I had to rename it with a .txt extension, so you’ll want to delete the extension.

Matlab workspace not getting updated while labview mex file is running

Hi,
Let me start from the overview of the system for better understanding.
The system is to acquire data from a DAQ6070e using labview 7.1 . this data is then to be used in matlab for processing. All this needs to happen in real time hence the data is to be acquired from labview and outputted into matlab in real time.
in order to do this we generated the labview and the matlab codes seperately. After days of hard work we managed to import the labview vi into matlab using a math interface toolkit, but now have run into another interesting problem.
the workspace in matlab is not getting updated during the time the labview vi is running inside matlab. it only updates after the vi has run . for example if i need to monitor the system for 300 seconds then ideally the labview vi should output the samples for each acquisition and output it to matlab, what actually is happening is that the labview keeps running for 300 seconds without outputting any data during those 300 seconds and only outputs the last set of acquisition values at the end of the 300 seconds. Which beats the purpose of the whole program.
Kindly help
Regards
Manuj

Thanks Mate,
What you said about "MEX file will not be able to "store" data between runs" ,i realised in the morning. as a result i dont think your suggestion of for loop will also be effective as labview mex file will not acquire data during matalb code execution and vice versa.
Hence i have decided to do it the other way...we will now try to run the matlab code in labview.
this leads to other problem
As this is a real time operation i need to find out a way of storing the data into computer memory and then reading from it(when i say memory i do not mean writing it to a file and readin from it as that is slow) becasue i think the buffer i am specifying in my AI config is not big enough.
I was thinking maybe i should use a RT FIFO queue but then i have not been able to find out the difference between buffer memory and fifo memory. ie is buffer memory supposed to be the ram memory or is it the hard disk memory?
I am posting the vi here for easy understanding
All help is very much appreciated

Calling labVIEW vi from matlab

i want to pass data (modulated sine wave) from matlab into labview,
transmit it (through the NI-DAQ card) into a channel, receive it back
on the input port of the card and pass the data back from labVIEW into
matlab. i built the vi and compiled the corresponding mex function.
when called, the function runs without error but the problem is that i
get back only noisy values and i have also verified with the help of a
CRO that no actual wave is transmitted. i.e., it seems that the labVIEW
vi doesn't actually run (though the LabVIEW window does open). this
after i have selected the "load front panel" option in the vi
properties. i might add that when i created a vi that uses the
"simulate sine signal" tool of labVIEW itself to transmit a sine wave
over the channel (As against using data from matlab, as in the former
case) but receive the data into matlab only (as in the former case),
the VI runs when called from matlab, the CRO shows sine waves being
transmitted and received and the data i receive into matlab is an
attenuated sine wave as expected. any MIT pro who can help me out?
Thanks.

It sounds like the problem is not that the VI isn't running, but rather that the data it is "receiving" from MATLAB is getting messedu up. This conclusion is drawn, of course, from the fact that simulated data can successfully be written and read in LabVIEW and passed to MATLAB using the same methods. The only way to get to the bottom of this dilemma is going to be to do some good, old-fashioned troubleshooting.
Since we believe that the problem lies in MATLAB passing data to LabVIEW, the first thing you can try is putting a pause at the beginning of your LabVIEW code and creating a graph on the VI's front panel to show the data before it is written. If it is jumbled there, then you'll next want to check the data inside of MATLAB before it is passed. If that data is okay, then you've narrowed it down to the actual transfer, and you should then start making sure that you are matching the proper datatypes and formats. Hope this points you in the right direction!

How to use matlab code in Labview without having MATLAB software. I tried to convert .m files into .dll files. But i could not do. Please help me out..

Yes. It can be done. But Math script can not evaluate all functions in .m files (There are some exceptions).
And those can perhaps easily be ported to LabVIEW/MathScript?
It is not sufficient to disregard running your Matlab code in LabVIEW based on a few exceptions without first thoroughly evaluating the impact they have.
If you want to stick with Matlab in your implementation, then there are other avenues than hypotethizing about the limited portability issues of using MathScript in your project?

Loading new labview exe files from a running vi

Hi! Me again
I've been thinking about another way to reset my running application (some data doesn't get reset due to it being in a case structure...(see http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=145525&requireLogin=False for details ).
What I would like to do is to be able to open a simple menu labview exe file, while closing the main file. This would enable the user to quit labview at the click of a button, or reload the main exe, freshened up , and then the menu closes. I can get vi's to open and close but an exe file would be supurb, as it can be used from the start, without needing a run button.
I've been fiddling with invoke method : open fp and loading a vi rather than an exe file. I'm sure it can be done. Bear in mind I'm a chemist, not a programmer, so some terminology may be lost on me, but examples are not

Hi Fios,
Why don't you just use the system exec.vi, found at All Functions >> communications >> system exec.vi
then you just put the full path to the executable in "command line" and set "Wait until completion?" to False
This will open your LV exe and then you can use VI server as you described in your post.
