Any 3D interfaces for Labview?

Is there any NI equivalent to Roboworks (Newtonium.com). This is software that can display a multi-joint 3D view of a robot, linked to Labview in real time.
While I found Roboworks appropriate for my needs, my company's policies don't agree with their sales process(online only). So, I am looking for an alternative.
I found ThreeDimSim, which supports COM programming, thus linkable to Labview. However, their sales site is not compatible to our company.
Any help is appreciated.

Is there any plans to support openGL toolkits in LV7.0, I hav not made the switch to 7.1 from 7.0 since I have a major project nearing completion in 7.0 then I will switch. I had put some effort into developing a universal toolkit for openGL calls but got hung up on calling the drawing and events integration with windows. I could not get a valid device condext for a labview window. I wanted to render dirrectly to a labview window but this didnot seem to work. I was using OPENGL32.dll calls. I also would be interested to see a 3d toolkit similar to GLUT for labview.

Basically, while the Picture Control in LabVIEW 7.0 seems to support the "draw OpenGL stream" opcode at least partly, the above mentioned Toolkit is made in such a way that it is not simply possible to resave it as a 7.0 version. So someone would probably have to recode the entire hierarchy in LabVIEW 7.0. Besides of the huge work this would mean, it is very likely that the OpenGL support in LabVIEW 7.0 was also not made public nor used outside of NI, because it was still experimental and had a number of bugs, problems, limitations, which might make above mentioned library more or less useless in LabVIEW 7.0 anyhow.

  • Problems in Operator Interface for LabVIEW

    Hi Ray,
    I am using LabVIEW 7.0 and TestStand 2.0 version. I am using the default operator interface for labVIEW provided in the TestStand and i am using custom step types in my sequence file.
    This sequence calls a VI, which transmits strings that i specify from the serial port to the NI-7831 RIO Fpga Card for differnt baud rates. The same sequence is working fine when called from Sequence Editor but it is not working when it is called from Operator Interface for LAbVIEW. It justs either fails the test or skips them. Please tell me if there is any solution for it. I have attached the sequence file and the vi that i am calling from my sequence file.

    Hi,
    You forgot to attach your sequencefile and VI, but never mind.
    I think the problem maybe that because you are using the default Operator Interface.
    If it still the one in the NI folder, then you will have to re build the testexec.exe application using your LabVIEW 7.0 Application Builder. The default exe file has been built using LabVIEW 5.1.1
    Before you start, copy the LV folder from OperatorInterfaces\NI\ to OperatorInterfaces\User.
    Load the testexec.bld file in your Application Builder and rebuild testexec.exe.
    Launch your new testexec.exe from the User\lV folder and retry your test sequencefile.
    Hopefully that should cure your problem.

  • ASIO interface for LabView

    Hello NI Forums! Cheers
    As everyone knows, everyone is looking for a solution to get along ASIO drivers into LabView. In another post about this same topic, Dr. Ben Sternberg, from University of Arizona, told us about an existent ASIO LabView VI that was developed in the Laboratory for Advanced Subsurface Imaging (Original post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Has-anyone-written-an-ASIO-sound-card-VI/td-p/405683), the GenMon.
    I'm an acoustic engineering student and i'm on an undergraduate research about beamforming, and i need to use the ASIO driver to acquire data and then analyse.
    But there's an issue, the ASIO driver no longer works with the recent versions of LabView (LabVIEW 2010 and newer), because the ASIO interface was built in LabView 6.x using the CIN (code interface node) technology. Now, we know that LabView no longer supports this function, and the function used to do the same thing is Call Library Function Node. That's why I'm creating another post: to discuss with you guys a solution for updating this ASIO interface. So we can create a collective solution.
    Given that other people besides me is looking for this kind of software, we need you guys, please, help us.
    I'm an beginner programmer and i really can't do this alone.
    The ASIO interface can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8qBRJgS7wvN1ZJc1dYbmV6SUU/view?usp=sharing
    thx!

    In addition to what natasftw already told you, you will want to have a pretty sound understanding about C programming even if you can get away without writing a wrapper DLL in C (but from what I remember about ASIO that chance is slim, the API was not designed with high level languages like LabVIEW or Visual Basic in mind but rather as a means for C programmers to interface to various high performance audio hardware).
    The Call Library node allows you to call DLLs but it requires you to know what a C programmer would have to do when calling that function from a C program and sometimes even a little more about how a C compiler treats specific situations that the C programmer wouldn't really have to worry to much about.

  • BPM Abstract Interface for IDOC?

    Hi all,
    I am doing an IDOC XI File scenario with BPM.
    I have created an Inbound Asynchronous and an Abstract Interface for the LEGACY SYSTEM(Target Message).
    I didn't create any Abstract interface for the IDOC(Source message).
    I am getting this error:
    <b>"Expression must return the interface type DEBMAS.DEBMAS06.DEBMAS06".</b>
    Do I need to create an Abstarct Interface for the IDOC?
    According to the above error, BPM is expecting an ABSTRACT INTERFACE Type for the IDOC.
    Experts need help from you.
    Thank you,
    Joslyn.

    That mapping is an dummy mapping between Idoc to Abstract Idoc Type. Here Sender Idoc Interface is mapped with Reciever Abstract Idoc interface.
    So inside the BPM, Abstract Idoc interface acts as a Container variable to collect the idocs.
    For simplicity-for collection of idocs
    You can see, BPMPatterns from the SAP BASIS Software Component in your XI Repository.

  • Adaptation of LIFA (LabVIEW Interface For Arduino) to other Arduino compatible boards

    Hello evryone,
     I am trying to use a ''Sakura board", which is an Arduino compatible board, having similar programming as Arduino. This board is manufactured by Renesas; more specifications on it can be found on the following link: http://sakuraboard.net/gr-sakura_en.html
    What I would like to know, is if the firmware used for LIFA to interface Arduino with labview, or the ChipKit firmaware, can be used to this kind of Arduino compatible boards.
    My aim, is to use the Sakura Board for acquiring signals from various pins(Be it digital or analog), and setting other pins (Digital) parralelly, using labVIEW, as this is done using LIFA, or LabVIEW interface for ChiKit!!
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    I haven't had any experience with the Sakura board, so can only go on the information on the website.
    I've used the Arduino LabVIEW interface previously, and it basically uses serial communications between the PC and the Arduino. This serial interface is provided by the on-board USB-serial converter (an ATMega8u2 running custom firmware).
    From what I can tell about the Sakura, it appears as a storage device when plugging into a PC, and doesn't seem to have a USB to serial converter. If this is the case, then the LIFA toolkit won't work. That said, my understanding of the Sakura board may be incorrect (for example I'm unsure what operation modes the slide switch changes between). If you can confirm it has a USB-serial port then LIFA may work. I guess the key thing is that the serial port is required.
    You may be able to use a software serial port (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial) on the Sakura to communicate with a PC, though that would require a PC with a serial port, or an external USB-serial converter. This approach would also require you to modify the LIFA arduino code (located in vi.lib\LabVIEW Interface for Arduino\Firmware\LIFA_Base) to reference the software serial port. It's probably a long shot that this will work, as the software serial library has been written for AVR chips, making use of their specific internal timers.

  • LabView interface for SRS DG645

    I need to implement a driver for my SRS DG645 module connected to my computer by an NI GPIB, does a driver already exist in LabView? I need a LabView program interface on my computer seperate of my module to control it. I read that Stanford Research Systems does not assist with LabView programming for their machines, and so I have yet to find a LabView interface created for this module.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi zeddy and others.
    Sorry for replying on old post but i got just the same question.
    I will be using SRS DG645 for my project on LabVIEW 7.0.
    Do i need any driver for it?
    When i search at NI website, i found some plug and play drivers for DG645.
    but there are no driver for labVIEW 7.0..

    Plus, the drivers need NI VISA 5.2 version to work.
    Does that version with my LabVIEW?
    Here is the compatibility table of Ni-VISA and LabVIEW but there is no LabVIEW7.0 in there.

  • Can we demodulate the signal recieved at DAQ card without using any hardware interface(by only using labview)?

    Hi all,
    Can we demodulate the signal recieved at DAQ card without using any hardware interface(by only using labview)? if yes then how? please give brief idea.
    Regards,
    Amit

    There is probably a way to do it, but it it may be easier to use an X-series board for the job.   They support a new counter capability for count reset on a digital edge without needing to be configured in encoder position mode.  I am not sure exactly how that feature's been implemented however, so maybe it won't make things easier after all.
    The plan based on the hoped-for behavior: 
    1. Configure an X-series counter for pulse generation based on "ticks" of your clock channel.
    2. Set both initial delay and low time to the critical # of ticks.
    3. Configure for count reset on a digital edge (if possible in pulse generation mode)
    4. Configure the count reset value to be the critical # (or possibly 1 less, if possible in pulse generation mode)
    5. If you want the output to remain high indefinitely, configure the counter task to use its own output as a
    pause trigger, and pause while high.
    The way pulse generation works is to preload a # of "low time" ticks into the count register.  Then every source edge will decrement the count.  When the count reaches terminal count (0), the counter's output is toggled (or can be configured to pulse).  The register is then loaded with the # of "high time" ticks and the process continues.
    You would be perpetually interrupting the count-down process as long as you got your triggers in time.  The count would keep getting reset to the # of low counts, keep decrementing toward 0 without reaching it, and so on.  If ever you did reach 0, the output state would toggle high, then the high state would prevent subsequent clock signals from decrementing the count.
    You can conceivably do a similar thing with a 6601, but I'm pretty sure you'd need 2 counters working together to get it working.

  • LabView Instrument​ation Experiment​s without any Physical Interface

    Hi friends I need some kind of experiments that can be made using LabView without any external Interface especially in Instrumentation (VCO,PLL,Opamp like) so please tell is it possible or I will need the Interface or can I do something in Instrumentation without Interface in LabView

    LabVIEW can be used as a pure programming language (I do it all the time!). Data acquisittion or instrument control hardware is completely optional.
    You can even simulate a real instrument by using simulated devices. For more complex functionality, you can simulate any other behavior yourself in software.
    Of course you still have the "user interface", i.e. the LabVIEW front panel.
    Can  you explain in a few more sentences what you have in mind?

  • After Replace queue.llb and notifier.llb for LabVIEW 6.1, I can't use find examples.vi any more.

    I believe that by your action, you removed the compatability VIs and it would appear that the Find Examples used the older queue functions that require the compatability VIs. I would suggest you revert back to the LLBs that were distributed with 6.1. The new queue functions are there for you to use in new development and older VIs won't be broken. You could also make a request to NI support to see about an updated Find Example that uses just the new VIs.

  • Any reccomendations on a Audio Interface for recording?

    Hello!
    I’m looking to buy a new Audio Interface for under $500. Any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    I bought a firebox to do some mobile recording, but it had problems and I had to send it back to presonus. in fact I have had 3 other presonus products and every one of them developed problems and I had to send all of them in for repairs. The good thing is Presonus is a great company and they stand behind their products, but in my experience their quality control *****.
    once I got the firebox back, I used it for 3 mobile sessions and it worked fine recording 4 tracks. I used it in the studio once as an aggregate device with my motu and the thing glitches about a dozen times during the session, which forced me to constantly restart or re select the driver. right after the session was over I put it on ebay and got rid of it. and I will never buy another presonus product again

  • Any one programed a serial interface for the Yaesu gs-232 antenna rotator

    Has any one tried to make a simple interface for this device? I have done some basic communicating with it, but it seems to be rather glitchy.

    Thanks that helped out a lot; I combined that program with the serial example. It works well, but it seems to want to update very frequently, as I am hearing relays tripping, but if I set the number I want and hit stop it goes there and will stop at that command. Is there a way to just have it send the data and then just have it leave the serial device alone unless you change the angle. As in only send the data once, but not have to re hit run.

  • How can I have an english interface to labview if the package is in german

    Hi ,
    I'm a student that makes a project in Germany using labview ... the problem is that my german is not that good , and the labview is in german so here is my question :
    how can I have an  english interface to labview if the package is in german (labview 7 )
    Any help would be apprecieted.

    The only way to really have everything in English is to install an English version of LabVIEW.  You may want to talk to your local NI sales representative about the possibility of getting a different version.
