Advantages of using labview in embedded application when compared to c ?

Hello all,
I am looking to develop embedded application with help of labview programming
Started with Lm3s8962 evaluation board.
So i would like to know
1 Advantages of using labview in embedded application when compared to c ?
2 Can we deploy the code in any kind of controller by writting drivers for it ?

hello, the LM3S8962 microcontroller is a good sispositivos for developing applications of medium complexity, according to your questions:
1. if you work applications with embedded systems will save labview time in prototyping, we know that if you work with a company specific microcontroller, you must learn the language with which you are working Asm, Basic, C, then if you change hardware again start adapting your code in the libraries of the new compiler. Labview does not happen.
2. Labview only works with some microcontroller manufacturers and specific models.

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi ?
I am modifying an existing workspace for a new product, and it seems like more work to add the vi's into a LabVIEW project
does it gain anything in the long run

Hi Rusty,
I wanted to quickly clarify on the integration between TestStand and LabVIEW Projects.
As Jeff mentioned, some of the big benefits of using LabVIEW Projects is to organize code and to namespace them.
For instance if you had a project called "Power Supply" that housed all your power supply code and had a VI in that called "Initialize", and another project called "Temperature Chamber" that also had a VI called "Initialize", both these VIs are namespaced by the project, so there is no longer confusion about which "Initialize" VI is being used.
Now from a TestStand point of view, in prior version of TestStand, we lost some of this benefit because TestStand did not know about TestStand projects and called VIs simply as un-namespaced VIs. However, in TestStand 2010 (released last year, free eval available at ni.com/teststand), we added the ability to (optionally) call VIs within the context of their projects. This means that:
VIs are now namespaced by their project, even when called from TestStand
VIs can use project specific constructs like NI-DAQmx tasks and conditional compilation settings
Note: When creating deployments, the VIs maintain their projects and namespacing, so this benefit holds true for deployments as well.
Additionally, someone had mentioned looking into using lvlibs to namespace your VIs for deployment. Two comments:
With TestStand 2010, this is no longer neccessary since the project itself namespaces the VIs
You might also want to look into LabVIEW Packed Project Libraries, which combined several VIs into a single file. Think of it as a DLL specific to LabVIEW that is as easy to call as normal LabVIEW VIs. TestStand 2010 can call VIs that are exposed by PPLs. In addition, the deployment utility can automatically pack your VIs into PPLs for deployment.
Hope this is helpful!

Hi Frank!
you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:

What are the advantages of using cirrus for multiuser applications ?

Hi!
Can anybody help me understanding the advantages of using cirrus for multiuser apps ?
One advantage i think, may be it's free . Isn't it ? Anything else ( say, it's faster .? )

The main advantage is that it is a P2P system. It is not the same as a Flash Media Server or other Flash servers. When using Cirrus, your content is sent directly to and from clients, they do not need to send it to the server, get it interpreted and then send it to the other user.
So essentially Cirrus is fantastic if you have an application envrionment that needs multiuser interaction, but only for client to client operations: you'd want peer-to-peer.

Advantages of BW Query in SAP Portal when compared to WEB BEx Analyzer

Hi
What are the advantages of having a BW Query in SAP Portal when compared to WEB BEx Analyzer
I had to presention to higher managers of having a SAPPortal for BW report that WEB BEx Analyzer
can any one please update me with few points (10-20) that will be useful for my presentation
screen to geethikakrishna->gmail
Thanks in advance

Hi Krishna ,
I think you should highlight the portal role in presentation
Now a days all organizations using sap portal as their user interface. We can login portal once and we can get all the information from bw,crm...sap systems and non sap systems.
so no need to login each and every system individually.
The portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services in and outside your organizationall integrated into a single user experience. It provides you the tools to manage this knowledge, to analyze and interrelate it, and to share and collaborate on the basis of it.
With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables usersfrom employees and customers to partners and suppliersto focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes
For all information on portals refer to help.sap.com->documentation->netweaver->Netweaver2004->English
IN people integration you will find information on portals

Can i use labview with other applications

Hi,
I was wondering if i could use an application written in c++ with labview...
like the whole application has a lot of feactures... and kind of acts like a
debugger for our products....
So, how would i be able to combine this application with labview...
Ne thoughts of doing it in some other way...would also be appreciated..
thx
Abhimanyu...
(also please refer to my last post...from yesterday)

Well i don't think there is easier way of bring your VC++ app with graphics into labview unless you create an ActiveX control (which would be laborious) out of it using ATL/MFC. Then calling that ActiveX control in ActiveX container in labview and use the exported properties and method of that control.
But if you want to get the functionality transported, the best way i would go with is writing DLL that exports functions from your C++ app and call that DLL in labview.

Need advice on storing configuration variables for use by FP2000 Controller for embedded application.

I am creating 8 machines that generally operate in the same way and each will be controlled using a FP-2000 controller. The only difference between the machines is a set of scaling constants and pass values for determining if the machine completed its process successfully.
In the past, using an idependent PC and Labview, I have created a configuration.vi for writing the constants and configuration variables to a data file on my hard drive. Then in the auto.vi I read(only once each time the program is started) the file and store the data in the program. I would like to do something similar with this system but am not familar with the Field Point system.
I know i
t is probably not difficult to store the data to the host computer and transfer it to the modules but I am better off writing to the modules once and storing the data onboard the FP controller for use by an embedded application. This way, if the network connection is lost for any reason, the machine can still operate. Is this possible, and if not what do you suggest in order to prevent being so reliant on the host computer?
Thank you for your help.

Mike,
There are a number of ways to accomplish what you desire. The easiest is to continue doing what you are already doing. The FP-20xx series modules treat their flash memory as if it was a hard drive, so the file I/O VI's in LabVIEW work just the same in a FP-20xx as on a regular computer running LabVIEW. The primary variation will be in how you write the files over the network. Since mapping network drives is more of a Windows functionality, you can not simply have a VI running on your host computer use a File I/O VI to write to a FP-20xx. Instead, what you will need to do is to write the file to you local drive and then FTP (file transfer protocol) the VI to the FP-20xx module. This can be done using the LabVIEW Internet toolkit or any 3rd party FTP util
ity. One word of advice; the OS on the FP-20xx does not support long filenames but due to a problem in the FTP server, long filenames (non 8.3 compliant) may be uploaded and once there, you will be unable to access the file again, even to delete it.
An alternative method that I have seen used is to use a global VI and write to it from the host machine through the use of VI server. You can then have the program on-board the FP-20xx save the globals to your configuration file.

Aaron

Using GPIB-RS232 converter with an embedded application

Hi
I am quite new to GPIB, so this might be a rookie question Using my own embedded application I need to communicate with a couple of Agilent power sources to send commands and queries. I got a GPIB-RS232 converter from NI but I can't figure out from the online help wether I can directly write to the serial port attached to the NI GPIB-RS232 ans SCPI command. I would be grateful if you can help me out to find the documentation on how to communicate to several Agilent GPIB instruments connected to the NI GPIB-RS232 converter configured to work in mode S.
By the way, for testing I am developing the modules for my application on a desktop computer under linux using gcc c++ compiler.
Thank you!

Advantages of using Final Cut Pro for animation

Is there anyone out there using Final Cut Pro 6 that could tell me what they feel are the advantages of using FCP 6 for animation as compared to Final Cut Express 3.5?

Okay, cool. I was gonna use that in the first place but I'm still learning it and so far all I know how to do on it is clean up the audio. I'm going through a Soundtrack Pro book right now and had to stop because I couldn't continue without a microphone. I'm getting that microphone this week and by the time I have the next batch of audio files to edit I'll know what I'm doing in Soundtrack Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion, I was seriously coming back to this question to elaborate for the sake of bumping this.
Oh yeah, if Soundtrack Pro is the answer, is it possible to bypass FCP on the way in AND on the way out?

Performance comparison---using LABVIEW..between Embedded and general-purpose Intel's single VS multi-core CPU

hi guys;
kindly, can any one tell me : is it possible to use Labview installed on desktop pc to show up statistically the main performance key features between mutlicore systems and single core systems but with (two versions, embedded and general purpose CPU) . in other words: I'm trying to resemble embedded cpu with general purpose CPU so that i can only work on Desktop pc than say that the obtained results are the same for embedded multicore CPU.
to get things more clear:...embedded multicore processors are now hitting the embedded market segments such as (small and portable devices with internet, multimedia and wimax tech. enabled that take advantage of recent multicore tech.).
general-puroses Multicore processors: like desktop and servers based processors,
according to what 've read, Intel is producing same processor model but with different applications : (embedded and general-purposes applications)

Hello,
Please look at this page which shows a new feature in LabVIEW 2009, but particularly interesting is the video which shows the performance benefits on a PC platform of single core VS multicore.
LabVIEW doesn't have any ability to emulate a multi-core embedded processor (unless its an intel x86 processor that labVIEW supports!) so to discover the performance benefits of embedded multicore processors, you would need an external hardware board and devise a test in which labVIEW can measure the timing via an external pin toggled by a program running on the embedded processor that could utilise multiple cores (there may be other ways but this is the way that comes to my mind).
I hope this helps you!

Program LPC2378 with code generated by LabView ARM embedded, without using LabView

I would like to use the C files that are originally generated in LabVIEW ARM embedded module, and use Keil software (or other lower cost) to load these files into custom boards with LPC2378 controller without LabView. Are there detailed instuctions for this? I am using version 8.6 and the ARM embedded module is 1.1.
My reason for this task is boards are being made in a maufacturing facility oversees, and they need to be programmed at their end.
I read a forum describing the use of hex files, but not enough detail for me to figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Bob,
What you're looking to do should be possible. You'll just need to build the application in LabVIEW, then you should be able to use the uVisions command line to deploy the system. As for the C code itself, it gets generated when you build your build specification and you should see it placed in the same directory as your labview project in a folder named the name of your project. For example, if your project were called My ARM Project, you'll see a folder called "My ARM Project" created/updated whenever you build the build specification in that project and it will contain the C Code. To see the code organized logically, after building your build specification, right-click on the ARM target and select "Show Keil uVision". This will open a uVision window in "LabVIEW mode" and you'll be able to see all of the C files associated with you application; your VI specific code will be under a folder titled "VIs". You could also just open the C code files from disk in uVision, which is what you'll need to do if LabVIEW isn't installed. The main LabVIEW project can be found in the built directory described above as the LabVIEW.uvproj file in the "target"/Application/"uvision version"/Project directory. For example my main file was built in MyProject\EK_LM3S8962\Application\4.01\Project. From there, you'll need to follow uVision's process for compiling and deploying the target code from their command line:

Hope this helps!

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, nicitdl5.exe

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
Thanks

Hello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots. These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products. These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity. That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources. If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual. This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up. LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them. When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager. Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.
