Can Labview 7.0 control an instrument without the labview driver?

hellow,i have an instrument which do not have the labview driver,its output signal is RS232,so can i use labview7.0 to read the signal? thanks!

You sure can. There is a popular program to check on serial hardware, the loopback.vi. It sends out a signal and reads in a signal. You can modify the vi to send a signal to whatever you need to or receive a signal from whatever you want to. So if you just have an output signal to read in you can modify it to just read in that output signal into a graph or anything you'd like. So you could just get rid of "serial port write.vi" or that entire sequence if you wanted to. I hope that helps.

  • Can you control servo valves without the PID toolkit?

    I need to be able to control servo valves using labview, but I don't have the PID toolkit. Is there an alternate way to control servo valves without the toolkit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Well first thing is to get a basic understanding of what a PID controller is doing. There is some discussion about PID on the NI web site, and a search of the net will also provide much information. What you are controlling with your valves will determine the complexity of your control solution and whether learning just the basics of control theory and PID in particular or whether you need to know more. It really isn't wasted effort, any success in implementing a PID control system, regardless of purchased toolkit or "roll it yourself" will need you to understand that basics. Even if you had picked up someone elses project that was complete except for "tuning" the system you would find that getting the system to run the way you need it to requires some knowledge and frequently a lot of patience. Good luck and keep asking questions.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

    How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to start affresh. Thank you. I have tried loading the Snow Leopard disc whilst holding down th C key but it goes straight into install mode. I am new to Macs and I have inherited this machine.

    Hello, many options...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • LabVIEW FPGA: An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a LabView FPGA VI. During compilation, I always get error stating "LabVIEW FPGA:  An internal software error in the LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred.  Please contact National Instruments technical support at ni.com/support".  At the time, comiplation process is almost at the end.  "Final Timing (place and route)" shows as completed. When Checked the Xilinx log session, at the end it states that "  Process "Generate Programming File" completed successfully". However, I do not see any generated bitfile.
    When clicked on error details, it shows following: 
    LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
    Error -2629 occurred at Error occurred while loading XML string. Invoke Node in niFpgaXml_PrettyPrint.vi->niFpgaWriteBitfileXml_Core.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_CreateBitfile.vi->niFpgaCompileWorker_JobComplete.vi->niFpgaCompile_Worker.vi:6460001
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW: An unknown error occurred.
    I tried multiple times but so far no luck to generate bitfile for this VI.  What could be wrong here?

  • Installing Programs Without The Disk Drive Icon Loading On Desktop

    Hey,
    I am super anal and don't like any icons on my desktop and I am wondering how, when installing programs, you can install them without the disk drive icon being left on the desktop?
    Thanks.

    Oh, right, sorry, one thing I didn't mention. I DO like to have CDs and DVDs and such show up on the desktop when I (seldomly) have them in my computer.
    So, is there any other way? If I uncheck the CDs and DVDs line then this solves the disk drive icon but also gets rid of my CD icons.
