Active X between LabView and Lotus 1-2-3

I want to controll Lotus 1-2-3 with LabView using Active X.
I have tried the example: "Write table to Excel.vi", and it works.
But When I try to do a simular opperation against Lotus it fails.
When i select the ActiveX library: "Lotus 1-2-3 Versin 1.0" there are no creatable objects. When i remove the selection on :"Show creatable objects only" are the objects simular to the objects when Excel-Library are selected. But when used they don't work.

Try selecting "browse" when you are prompted for an activeX object, and select the Lotus 1-2-3 activeX library from it's directory. If 1-2-3 is properly installed on your system, you should be able to create objects using it's activeX capabilities. If browsing does not work, I'd try installing Lotus again. I'd be glad to help you, but don't have Lotus 1-2-3 so... Good luck.

Communicating between LabVIEW and Basic Stamp 2.0

Hello,
We are trying to control the movement of a Parallax Boe-Bot (robot with
Board of Education) via LabView programming. The BOE operates on
Basic Stamp programming to control the pulse width sent to two servo
motors.
Is there a way to establish communication between LabVIEW and Basic
Stamp 2.0? We need to send commands from LabVIEW to the
Basic Stamp to control the pulse width and therefore the rotation of
the two servo motors. We also need to send a signal from an
accelerometer based on the robot to the LabVIEW ADC.
The ultimate goal is to do this with wireless communication, but for
right now we are simply trying to figure out any way to send the data
between LabVIEW and the Basic Stamp.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Adam

Hi Adam,
You can communicate with a BASIC Stamp microcontroller over GPIB using VISA. To see some LabVIEW example code, just search for GPIB in the NI Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples). This will show you the basics of GPIB communication in LabVIEW. I also found this link by searching the NI discussion forums for "basic stamp"
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/software/software_basic_stamp.asp
Here you can download an example using LabVIEW 7.0 or higher to communicate with a BASIC Stamp 2.
I hope this is helpful! Let us know if you have further questions.

Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML)

Please provide feedback, comments and questions on the Reference Library for Converting Between LabVIEW and XML Data (GXML) in this thread.
The latest version of the NI GXML Library is availble in VIPM on the NI LabVIEW Tools Network repository.

Francesco, Thank you for the feedback. With this component it was my intention to make a more "terse" version of the LabVIEW Flatten to XML VI that was also supported on RT and that gave the user more flexbility regarding the structure of the parsing type definition. I think you are right that the XML parser is not compliant to section 2.11 of the XML spec. The parser does specifically looking for a #D#A and this appears to be an oversight on my part. Please confirm for me, the specifcation is saying that the XML parser should be able to recognize three possibilities as an "end of line" character: #D#A, #D, or #A. Am I reading this right?There are more efficient (and in some cases much more efficient) ways of sharing data between LabVIEW and LabVIEW: some examples are flattened binary strings and the datalog binary format. XML is slower than these optons but the upside is that it is human readable. Furthermore XML is inherently hierarchical which is convenient for complex data structures like clusters of arrays of clusters, etc. If you don't care about human readability then you are correct XML doesn't make as much sense.I will return to the GXML source code and try to fix this in the near future but I would hope that instead of creating yet another custom VI from scratch that you could reuse what I have provided for you. I included enough documentation in the source code so that users could make some modificiations themselves. The target application for this reference library was LabVIEW to LabVIEW communication. As such I documented the schema on the dev zone document from a LabVIEW perspective. It includes all the supported datatypes and all the supported data structures (cluters, arrays, multidimensional arrays, clusters of multidimensional arrays, etc.) I do see some value in making a more conventional XML spec but the time investment required didn't really line up with my intended use case. Were there any other downsides to GXML that I have missed? Best Regards, Jeff TippsSystems Engineer - Sound and VibrationMessage Edited by Jeff T. on 04-21-2010 10:09 AM

Connecting between labVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to connect between LabVIEW and PLC S7-1200 using EPICS. I did it using OPC and it succeeded and the communication was done, so right now i'm trying to do it using EPICS. so Can anyone help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
Ahmed

Hello,Ahmed:
Now I'm trying to conect S7-1200 to Labview by OPC server 2012, I'm newer for both PLC S7-1200 and OPC server. by the help file of NI's OPC I tested many times, but lost totally.
You mentioned that you have succeeded making the connection between them, could you please help me :
1) How to set in Simense TIA software? I can set the PLC's IP address now, that's all;
2) OPC server setting.
if there is a video, that will be great.
thanks a lot.

Transfert between Labview and HTML page

Is it possible to transfert data between LABVIEW and a HTML page without using a java applet?
Is Labview including this possibility?
The aim is to pilot a system via internet with a html page.

Hi Mat,
LabVIEW CGI is the best solution for that. I know that you can build ActiveX controls (in Visual Basic) that talk to labVIEW. But LabVIEW CGI is the easiest way of doing that. You should have some knowledge of HTML inorder to work with LabVIEW CGI.
Also note that in order to have the LabVIEW CGI capability you should have Internet Toolkit for LabVIEW (available from NI). For more information
http://www.ni.com/labview/internet/
The examples that ship with the toolkit should get you started on it. LabVIEW CGI VIs would allow you to execute VI from web browser and get results back in web browser in form of HTML page.
Hope this helps,

Establish connection between labview and Lantronix XPort Pro

Hi:
I am pretty new in this field. I just got into grad program, and I have been asked to establish a TCP/IP connection between Lantronix XPort Pro and labview 8.5. The goal is to get data from the server (Lantronix XPort Pro) and put them into labview and modify them, then I need to send modified data back into server.
The server has registered into local network wirelessly, it has IP 192.168.5.117 in port 26.
I would really appreciate your help and comments.
cheers!
Kian.

Which field are you "new" to? Programming in general? Programming in LabVIEW? TCP/IP?
Have you taken a look at the TCP/IP examples that ship with LabVIEW? There are simple Data Client/Data Server examples that show transfer of data over TCP/IP. You will likely need to do something very similar. Does the XPort Pro have a TCP/IP listener running? Do you have a communication protocol defined?
Also, if you are new the LabVIEW, have you gone through any of the tutorials? To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Interfacing between labview and microcontroller using rs 232

hi my task is to generate a wavefrom of certain frequency and certain duty cycle in labview and feed it to pic18f452 microcontroller and the o/p of microcontroller when connected to CRO should display the same frequency and duty cycle which was fed from labview.
for that when i am sending decimal data from labview microcontrolle is receiving ascii data for eg 62(decimal) gives 36 and 32 respectively in microcontroller registers and when i use type cast function and convert the decimal data into ascii data and then sending it to uc it gives hex o/p so i am confused that how to solve this problem
pls guide me
thanks
satish

So your display from the uc is giving you a hex display instead of the ASCII representation? Are you using VISA to send a string to the uc? Is that string being represented as hex instead of ASCII by the microcontroller? I'm confused about what exactly your setup and problem is...

Communications between LabVIEW and spectrum analyzer

hi, im a beginner in LabVIEW and spectrum analyzer, and im now trying to let LabVIEW captures signal coming from spectrum analyzer. i have all the required components needed but i have totally no idea how to get started, is there any exercises or labs available here?

It will depend on your method of communication with the device. If it is RS232 you can go to the example finder (Help > Find Examples) and search for RS232 or however you plan on communicating with the device. Or you can browse the catagories for examples on various topics.
Depending on the device the manufacturer may have LabVIEW drivers on their web site. But anybody will need more information on the analyzer and the signals before you can be helped.

Driver to communicate between LabVIEW and Omron CJ1G PLC

I am trying to communicate between my Omron PLC (Model CJ1G) and LabVIEW. I want to be able to read specific registers and be able to display and save the data in LabVIEW.
I have the "Idustrial Automation Servers for OPC" CD but my PLC model no. doesn't appear under the Omron options.
What other options do I have?
Thanks, in advance,
Felipe

Hi Felipe:
I checked in our PLC compatibility database and the only Omrom PLCs that are supported are the following: C20, C200, C500, C1000, C2000, CQM, and CPM1.
The PLCs that are suppored in the IA OPC server is based on the driver dll that was supplied to us by Omron. When newer PLCs are released, they are not included in this dll and are thus not supported. You might want to contact Omron to see which OPC Server supports that PLC. You should be able to use any 3rd party OPC Server to work with DSC which will then be the OPC Client.
Hope this helps.

What is the difference between LABVIEW and LABWIN/CVI?

I want to take a course about one of these two softwares.
I know a little bit about LABVIEW but I know nothing about LABWIN/CVI.
What is the difference between them?
Do they have different aplications?
thanks
Tzviel

LabVIEW is a graphical programming language. It is made up of a user interface which is called the front panel and a block diagram where all the coding is done. CVI is National Instrument's C interface for virtual instrumentation. CVI includes a user interface complete with graphs, buttons, and other interface objects. However, the code is done in ANSI C. Some great features of CVI include the function panels, which provide a wizard interface for CVI functions, and code generation. CVI also easily integrates with National Instruments DAQ & GPIB devices as well as other intrument drivers.

TCP/IP communication between labview and microchip board

Hi
I have a microchip board which sends out data over the Ethernet. I have to read this data and use for further mathematical computations on it. So I decided to use some available examples on Labview. I find that all examples come as a pair, client-server. But in my case the board will be the server ( providing data continuously) and Computer with Labview will act as a client (Continuous receiving). Is there any readily available example on Labview for this purpose. If not, can you please suggest which example I need to modify for my purpose? Thanks

Hi Greg, thanks for the reply. I am connecting to a PICDEM.NET2 board which is sending data through its ethernet port. I know the port number and the IP address of the board. I want labview to listen to this port and store the incoming packets. I am not sure how LABVIEW disintegrates the TCP packets and takes only the data out. Since I am not seeing anything on the LABVIEW client, so I am starting to think that TCP Client on LABVIEW may have some prescribed packet format which is not the format in which I am sending my data in. Please enlighten me if I am wrong. If you need more information, please tell me what you will need, I will provide you immediately.
Thanks
Arvind
LabVIEW has no "predesribed" packet format, and it doesn't take packets apart. LabVIEW operates at the application level, so the OS is responsible for providing the data that's contained in the packet to LabVIEW. LabVIEW just sees the data in the packets.
Have you verified that a connection is actually being made? You said that the LabVIEW should listen to this port. Did you create a listener on the LabVIEW side? Does the microchip code indicate a connection? You may want to use Wireshark to capture the packets to see exactly what is going on.

DLL's are for using C# code within a LV program, that's not what you're doing.
Actually DLLs are strictly speaking normally shared libraries exporting standard C functions. They get interfaced with the Call Library Node. .Net libraries (written in C#, VB or whatever) are normally called assemblies, although the are usually packaged in a file with a DLL extension, but they are VERY different from normal shared libraries.To access .Net assemblies you use the .Net Nodes in LabVIEW. In LabVIEW you can create normal DLLs or .Net assemblies from VIs.
It's probably possible with some involved magic to write normal DLLs in C# but most likely a pain in the ass and a quite useless exercise. And if you want to call a normal DLL from C# you have to use unmanaged interface, which is also a pain in the ass, since you have to worry about the same things as when you use the Call Library Node to interface to a DLL.

I want to copy the contents of an active window i LabView and paste that into a Word document programatically

I am developing an analyse program which produces a large number of results and graphs for each file. These results are presented in different windows one at a time.
It is possible to programmatically generate these windows and print each window before generating the next one. I would like, however, to be able to generate one window, copy it to the clipboard (Alt+Printscreen), (this function is available through knowledgebase), and then paste the contents of the clipboard into a word document. This second step is the problem. By this way a large number of analyses can be done and all the results and graphs will be copied to one Word document
for later study.
Has anyone any idea how to do this?

You can use ActiveX to paste anything that is in the clipboard into a word document, just follow the logical flow, application, documents, add, paragraph, last, range and paste using property nodes.
Hope this helps
