How can I control PIC programmer with LabVIEW

I need to control a PIC Programmer (MPLAB PM3) with LabVIEW. How to do this?

Hi Paul.
I am working on a project that is using LabVIEW to communicate via serial communication with 4 programmers (Com 1, 2, 3, & 4). I am currently using the Microchip PM3 programmer DOS utility PM3CMD.exe to send/receive commands from the system exec.vi in LabVIEW. I am attempting to program simultaneously with 4 programmers, but the PM3 programmers are returning a database error if I try and communicate with more-than 2 programmers at a time. I noticed that you have some experience with some drivers from Microchip and using serial commands.
Do you have any suggestions that may help me.
Thanks.

Can't control color sensor in LabView for Mindstorms

Hello! New here.
I'm trying to bone up on LabView via "LabView for Lego Mindstorms" for a possible job in the near future and I've run into a problem early on.
I'm programming my Lego brick in LabView to simply turn on the color sensor which is easy enough: I build a while loop and inside that I have a color sensor block connected to a text block which displays light intensity from the sensor in text on the brick. I compile and run and the sensor turns on and I can read the constantly updating intensity on the brick. That part works fine. Now I'd like to control the light sensor (which doubles as a light source with color LEDs) on the LV front panel. The book I'm using (LabView for Lego Minstorms) says I need to right click the sensor block on the "generate light" input and choose "Create-->Control" from the resulting menu. A Boolean pushbutton should appear connected to the sensor block in the Block Panel and a push button should appear in the Front Panel. That's not what happens. Two things are different here.
1) I have no "generate light" port to right click on. This is probably due to using a more up to date version of Mindstorms than the book uses. That's a book/Mindstorms issue that probably can't be solved here but hopefully solving the next issue will make this one irrelevant.
2) I right click and create the control, but instead of creating a Boolean push button as the book predicts, it creates a "BrickReference.lvclass" icon. It connects okay with the light sensor and a corresponding block is created in the Front Panel but it is a paper weight as far as I can tell. I can't do anything with it. There is no button to push, no slider, knob, radio button etc. and I can't seem to change it into anything that works in any way. I delete it and create a no kidding Boolean push button from the library but it won't connect to the light sensor and so I can't compile. So now I'm a bit stuck.
I've looked for "Brick Reference" on line in the context of LabView class and have found little or nothing that tells me about its definition or how I can use it to control the light sensor via the Front Panel. The help section with the software isn't much help either and yet I'm sure there must be a way to control a simple Lego light sensor from the Front Panel for debugging and other purposes.
If you know what I'm doing wrong or if you know an end run around this issue that will enable me to control a Mindstorms brick from the Front Panel in this way, please let me know.
Thanks!

How to control TTL device using LabVIEW?

I have a device which requires TTL (+5V) to control it to be on/off. How can I provide this TTL to it using LabVIEW? I guess I should install a PCI board in my computer to connect to this device, but how to do my LabVIEW coding to control it?

Hi,
First of all if your board is NI board after corect instalation you need to view this board in the section Devices & Interfaces from the NI program Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Also if the board is NI board or has the divers for LABView you need to find in the LabView the functions to command your board.
Other posibility is if your board is no't compatibile wi NI, in this case you need to extract from DLL, the function to command the board.

Controlling pxi 7350 using labview software

Hi,
So i am a complete newbie when it comes to labview having only used it to control virtual instruments before and now i am the point where i want it to interact with real world items. Ok so here goes..... i have the latest labview development software and have also purchased a pxi1033 with a pxi4065 digital multimeter and a pxi 7350 motion controller integrated within.
my problem however is that i want to be able to control my motors via the umi7772 interface but cannot seem to find the correct symbols on the labview software to utilise them, i would like to use labview to create a program that will turn the stepper and evaluate what is on the dmm and then turn accordingly this is way above my level on labview currently but if anyone has any ideas then any information is greatly appreciated.
cheers
james

Hello Jamest6,
I have found some useful documentation that will help you get started with you 7350 and LabVIEW.
First of all here is a community example that you can take a look at. It is possible to download the example itself from the bottom of the page.
Read Analog Input (AI) values from NI-Motion device 73xx : https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-5617
Then you can access these knowledge base articles for some more guidance :
How Do I Use the Digital Input/Output Lines on my 7330, 7340, or 7350 Motion Controller Card? : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2D238C3BF101620C862573A60081BFFE?OpenDocument
How do I control the analog ouputs from an NI PCI motion controller in Measurement & Automation Explorer?: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/04B940903BDD987C862579320083C6FF?OpenDocument
Also using these manuals for both prducts will be of help to you :
NI 7330/7340/7350 Motion Controllers and
P7000 Series Stepper Drives:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372324d.pdf
NI UMI-7774/7772 : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373359c.pdf
Another great source for looking at or using example VIs is the LabVIEW's Example Finder. Go to Help » Find Examples... When that window pops ups, double-click Toolkits & Modules in the folder list, then double-click NI Motion Assistant. I'm guessing the "Straight Line Move.vi" or "Blended Move.vi" would be most helpful to you, but you could read the descriptions of each example listed for a little bit more information about what the examples are doing.
Hope these are useful!

Need to control waterbath temp using labview via RS232

HI,
I am new to labview. I have labview 6.1. I need to control a thermo RTE7 water bath temp. controler using labview.
The water bath has to be connected to computer via RS232 port and the commands have to be given via binary values.
The users manual for the bath has "hex" bytes that are to be converted
to binary values to be passed to bath. If anyone has done this before
or anyone can help me on this please let me know. Thanks,

Use simply the recommandations given in the RTE manual. You don't have to convert to binary : that's something done by the hardware.
For instance, to send the temperature setpoint to the controler, you have to send a byte string such as
CA 00 01 F0 02 01 2C DD, where CA 00 01 is a header specific to the type of serial link you are using,
F0 is the set temperature command,
02 is the number of bytes expressing the temperature that you are about to send
01 0C is the temperature in tenths of degree (here : 30°C = 300 tenth = 010C$
DD is a check sum byte.
The corresponding labVIEW program is as follow :
Of course, do not forget to initialize the serial port before writing the string !

How can I control a driver using Matlab?

For a lab project I have to program in matlab a driver (esp300 by Newport - http://www.newport.com/store/product.aspx?id=3229) that commands a motorized stage of the same company. The interface is GPIB. I rather control the driver using only matlab, but if i can't - i wan't to use Labview as a connector between the two. any idea how can i do one of the above? I've got no idea where to start from. I'll thank to any given advise.

What is the analysis that ou need to perform. The resources that are available to you from within LV is very complete!

How do i open and control other programs using labview?

I'm presently trying to use labview to try to open and operate another program,but having much difficulty.The external program i'm using is called the Foundation program.
This Foundation program will use VHDL programming to create a virtual chip and then synthesising it.This program will then simulate the output of this VHDL program to verify that it is working as desired.Then the last stage is to download the whole VHDL program into a FPGA chip using a xilinx cable.
All this need to be done using a labview program - to open the Foundation program and then extract the saved file and then to execute the download command to cause the VHDL program to be downloaded onto the FPGA chip.How do i go
about doing all this?What is the first step i must do.Also all this have to be done thru networking..looks like its too difficult..I really need help.
grays

I haven't done VHDL so pardon my ignorance.
LabVIEW can call external DLL via "Call Library Function" or C programs via "Code Interface Node", both located in "Advanced" function.
If your program is a DOS program, use "System Exec.vi" found in "Communication" function. If you need to format your DOS command prior to sending it, use the "Format Into String" function in "String" function palette.
Lastly, if you're trying to extract data, assuming it is text, use "File I/O" functions. If the data is binary, use "File I/O -> Binary File VIs".
Hope that answers most of your questions.

Program PIC Controller Using Labview

Dear Team
I have created an application using LABview, in which i'm testing an Electronic Hardware before and after programming the Microcontroller available in the hardware.I've almost completed the project expect the auto programming Of Microcontroller using LABview.
I have to use PIC2kit or PIC3kit to fuse the c code.It would be helpfull ,if i get any support or clarification in the above mentioned auto programming using labview.
My Client requirement is to call the pic2 standalone application used for programming PIC controller Via LABview and program it..Let me know if there is any possibility..
Solved!

You could use System Exec.vi to run your standalone application.
Beginner? Try LabVIEW Basics
Sharing bits of code? Try Snippets or LAVA Code Capture Tool
Have you tried Quick Drop?, Visit QD Community.

How do I control serial power using LabView?

I need to use LabView to alter the voltage coming from the serial port. Is it as easy as writing to the serial port? I know that if you write to the serial port that it'll produce a binary number, does this binary number correspond to a voltage.

If you want to create a scalable voltage value coming from the serial port you must have a Dig -> Analog conversion circuit.
If your goal is to vary a voltage from 1 - 10 vdc, then you must create:
1) a an external circuit that will convert/buffer digital serial interfaced binary values to analog values (ni makes these things)
2) labview code that transfers info to serial port. (driver/etc)
hope that helps!
did that answer your question?
Chances are if you have seen VI in the forest it hasn't fallen.

How can I control external devices using a touch screen with a standalone LabVIEW app

For my senior design project my group and I created a hybrid extended range vehicle with 90 Li+ Batteries thats charged by a 15 kW generator and/or that is also being charged by a 5 kW fuel cell. Currently, our system is capable of measuring voltages off of the batteries and displaying them on a laptop via LabVIEW. To process this data, we are using a cRIO FPGA. What we would like to do now is have a touch screen for the driver to choose what power source charges the batteries as well as monitor a pressure reading coming from the fuel cell tank.
What sort of small touch screens allow for LabVIEW to be uploaded on and used for controls?
Does a cRIO have the capability to power such a screen and handle the data transfer from the fuel sensor and switching relays (for switching on and off powersources)?
Do I need an additional license for creating standalone applications and how would i go about creating a standalone app?
sorry for so many question. Any reply helps. Thanks!

That sounds like a pretty interesting project. If you are interested, National Instruments hosts a Student Design Competition where you can win cash or a trip to Austin for NIWeek.

NI does sell Touch Panel computers that can be used to control LabVIEW applications. You can find more information here: HMIs and Industrial Touch Panels and here: LabVIEW Real-Time and Touch Panel Deployment and Replication Resources. Our 6-inch touch panel computers run Windows CE, so programming on them is a little different than programming on a full Windows OS. You may find the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module useful.
You can use third party devices with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, although you will need a deployment license for it. More information can be found in the getting started guide.
If you were able to send the cRIO information over a network (which from your description sounds unlikely), you may be able to use a smartphone to control your application. More information can be found on our Community Smartphone Group.

If you were using the 6-inch touch panels, they require 18 to 32 VDC (the fuse becomes an open circuit if input level exceeds 33 VDC). The data transfer from the switching relays can be monitored and changed with the touch panel.

If you went the touch panel route, you would need to purchase the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, and a touch panel. The NI touch panels come with a touch panel deployment license. Step-by-step guides for creating the standalone app can be found in the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module guide.

Can I control Internet Explorer via LabVIEW?

I want programmatic access to web pages via LabVIEW. I have tried using "URL Get HTTP Document.vi" but am rejected at some sites. I have controlled IE via VisualBASIC before. Just wondered if it was possible via LabVIEW.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Well it depends on what exactly you want to do but with ActiveX you can control IE (or FireFox) from LabVIEW.
