Can't use traditional ni-daqmx on LabView 8.2

Hej,
We have a bunch of quite established VI's using in our laboratory and updated recently our old MACs with Labview 3 or 5 or 6 to new Imacs with NI-USB 6009 acquisition boards running on Win XP on MAC (the USB cards had problems on MAC Os 10.4). The problem we have is, we want to use the old VI's
on the new iMacs with the new cards. Unfortunately I can't see any traditional
NI-DAQ VI's on the new LabView 8.2, which makes it impossible to use the old
VIs. We will rewrite them within the next month using the tutorial: "transition from traditional ni-daq to ni-daqmx", however for the time being we want to use just the old VI's using traditional Ni-daq (ai read, config, start, ...)
If I open Measurement & Automation I see under Software-Traditional NI-DAQ, that 7.4.2f3 is already installed. Is there
anything else we can do to not have to rewrite all over archives? Thanks in advance.

I think there has never been traditional DAQ for Mac OS X. And it took quite some time to get DAQmx on there. So It would appear that you are out of luck if you do not want to go back to the old machines until the transition has been finished.
On a second read I see that you use WinXP on those Macs. Welllll .... have you made sure that DAQmx works there without glitch? DAQmx for Windows really was developed for Windows on PC sytems and I wouldn't be surprised if there would be just the few small differences between how everybody builds PCs and how Apple believes they have to be done, that could make some of the low level DAQmx device drivers trip over.

Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

Hi,
Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module? I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW means can i program it without using LABVIEW?
regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Vishnu,
Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

How can I use cutom build icons in labview as a switch ?

I have two questions:
I am trying to make a user interface, using custom-build icons.
-How can I load/copy my icons into labview?
What would be the best sollution for the usibility of the icons:
-should I try to use the icon as a new overlay for labviews excisting push-buttons?
-or... make a shape(icon) a clickable item/button.
Either way, I do not have a clue how to accomplish this task.
Every comment on this item is appreciated.

Can I use any acquistion card with Labview?

I have got a non NI acquistion card, how can I use LabVIEW to program it?

> I develop my own acquisition card, how can I write it's driver so

The LV drivers for various NI products are essentially VIs that call
into a user level DLL. That DLL does its work and returns the results
and/or error info to the diagram.
If the board has a DLL that allows it to work, then you can make quick
wrapper VIs to make it fit the LV language a bit better.
There are no architectures or protocols for drivers to replace NI-DAQ or
other NI driver wrappers.

Can i use traditional SqlPlus development environment in Oracle11GR1 ?

Hi,
i have downloaded Oracle 11GR1, but i want to write sql codes in the tradition SqlPlus environment that was in Oracle 9i or 8i (that was having white color background) .So how to get that SqlPlus development environment here ?With the current download and installation SqlDeveloper has been installed and command prompt sqlplus has been provided. But i want to use that white screen sqlplus environment .Please guide how to get that one .
Thanks.

First create a shortcut icon on your desktop to sqlplus.exe (in your oracle_home/bin directory).
Then right click on the icon and select Properties. Change these settings:
Tab: General
   Put the instance name in the text box
Tab: Shortcut
   Target: (your oracle_home)\bin\sqlplus.exe userid/password@databasename --< use with caution
   Start in: (your oracle_home)\bin
   Run: Normal Window
   Change icon to whatever you want
Tab: Options
   Cursor size: Small
   Command History, Buffer size: 50
                  , Number of buffers: 4
   Display options: Window
   Edit Options: check QuickEdit mode
                 check Insert mode
Tab: Font
   Size: 8x12
   Font: Raster Fonts
Tab: Layout
   (Screen Buffer Size is the 'virtual' size of the screen
    Window Size is what you see on the screen
    having a buffer size of 2000 allows sql plus to display
    very wide rows when sql plus LINESIZE is also 2000)
   Screen buffer size: Width: 2000
                       Height: 2000
   Window size: Width: 125
                Height: 55
   check Let system position window
Tab: Colors
   I like aqua on black, but whatever
Tab: Compatibility
   Leave all these uncheckedI like to include my userid and password in the Target setting, but this can be a security risk so use with caution.
And some of these settings will depend on your monitor size, your eyesight, etc. so adjust to taste.
Next, edit your glogin.sql file (it's in oracle_home/sqlplus/admin) and add these lines:
SET serveroutput on
SET linesize 2000
SET pagesize 50000
SET trimspool on
SET long 50000
SET tab off
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';You can use any format you like for the date format but make sure it includes the time portion.
This is also where you will put the COL command to modify the column you mentioned.
Something like: COL some_column FOR 999999
I also have this query in my glogin.sql:
SELECT d.name, s.sid,s.serial#, p.spid
FROM   v$process p
      ,v$session s
      ,v$database d
WHERE p.addr = s.paddr
AND    s.audsid = userenv('SESSIONID');This info can be handy for certain data dictionary queries (like v$session_longops).
Next, create a directory somewhere to hold all your SQL Plus helper scripts. Like c:\oraclescripts.
Create a permanent environment variable called SQLPATH which points to this directory.
Whenever you run a script from the SQL Plus prompt it will search this directory so you don't have to qualify it every time.
Now double click the icon and try it out.

Can't use Daq Assistant in Labview 7.1

hi! I have Labview 7.1 installed and an AT-MIO-16E-10 NI board. I can see the board in MAX\devices&Interfaces\traditional NI-DAQ but i can't run any tests(Test panels). I don't know if this is normal for this NI-DAQ model. anyway my main conceirn is that i can not use DAQ Assistant in LabView(when i double click on it or right click->Properties nothing happends). So i can't use my board in LabView. please help! thanks a lot

You can use your board in LabVIEW but you can't use it with DAQmx. In the DAQ Quick Start Guide, the supported devices are listed and the AT E series is only supported with traditional DAQ.

Can we use MS C++ Socket code to send to a labview socket vi?

See above.

No, the VIs you are referring to in LabVIEW use National Instruments DataSocket technology. This is not the same as Windows Sockets communication that you are referring to from Visual C++. They are not compatible to be used together. We do provide libraries for Visual C++ for DataSocket that come with our Measurment Studio package. Measurement Studio includes classes like CNiDataSocket that can be used to communicate with the LabVIEW DataSocket VIs.

How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

filozof-
During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
2) Keep an action history in your program
3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

How to use a C# dll in Labview?

How can I use a C# dll in Labview 8.2? With the "Import Shared Library" Wizzard I need the header file which I don't have. Is there another way
to use such .dll to import the functions created in C#?
Thanks in advance
Norick

Norick,
afaik there is no tool which provides you the possibility to create something like an instrument driver for .NET assemblies.
Maybe we should take a look into terminology:
- Instrument driver: This is a set of functionality, which provides the user with an easy to use API for a special instrument. Very often, the driver itself is written in C/C++ and provided as a DLL.
- "Import Shared Library" Wizard: This wizard enables the user to create an own API for any C/C++ DLL (or compatible) for LabVIEW. This wizard requires the information on all exported functions; this info is contained in the header file. The result of the wizard is a set of VIs containing one Call Library Function Node each for each exported function.
- .NET assembly (extension .exe OR .dll): This can be compared to ActiveX. So the way to program with .NET is similar to ActiveX. Maybe you want to take a look into the examples of LabVIEW regarding .NET...
- Global Assembly Cache (GAC): All assemblies contained here are registered in the system. Every application can easily work with assemblies contained here.
- Private assemblies: This would be the way to work with .NET assemblies which are built on your own. You have to select the .DLL-file itself and make sure that the file can always be found in the same (relative)folder of your application.
hope this helps,

How to use XVID MEPG4 DECODER in labview

May i ask how to use Xvid MEPG4 Decoder to compress the AVI file. For this decoder have been installed in my computer but the VI(IMAQ AVI2 Get Codec Names)can not list this code name. So may i ask how can i use this decoder in the labview. For this decoder is relatively has good quality and also small size. Or what kind of other solution can be provieded for the relative small size of AVI file.
Thanks

And it says "No Web ervices found on the server".
Please help.

I think I'm one step from finished application.
So ... I've tried this building web service from tutorial and when I'm on the step when I have to deploy a Web Service to the Web Server I have a problem.
I rightclick on My Web Service under "build specifications" and click to deploy and I get this message in attachment.
My question is how can I start the web server ?
Thanks in advance and I hope that after solving this I won't bother any of you anymore.

Labview 8.5 Linux, I can't use DAQmx Base constants

I'm trying to move an application from Windows to Linux, I'm running RH5 Workstation with LV 8.5 and the newest NI-DAQmx Base installed. I've created tasks using the NI DAQmx Base Task Configuration utility.
However, when I create a Task constant in my block diagram, I cannot select any tasks with it, the arrow down-button is just greyed out. The same goes for the other I/O-constants (Physical Channel constant and Device constant). I've tried typing the task name, but the program just exits with an error.
It seems as though LabView doesn't know where to get information about devices and defined tasks, do I need to do anything to tell LV where to look?
A mysterious thing though, is that I've tried running a sample program, which makes use of one of the predefined tasks and that seemed to work (at least it did not exit with an error). Even more mysterious: When I tried to run the same sample now, it tells me that it can't be opened since I'm running LV 8.2.1, even though I'm running LV 8.5.
Any ideas of what to do? Would it be meaningful to uninstall DAQmx Base and install DAQmx instead (i chose DAQmx Base since the last DAQmx-version was from 2005 or so).
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I recommend you to download the latest DAQmx driver 8.7.1 found here.

PXI-6534 Card using Traditional Legacy Card to DAQmx driver

I don't know where to start..I am stuck on an issue that needs to be solved.
I am using a Traditional legacy driver on a PXI-6534 Card.
I want to move it to using the DAQmx driver.
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thank you..
Best regards,
Krispiekream

i read over the link you provided and i can see that changing it will take a while.
some of the examples given didn't cover all the questions i have.
can you see my vi and see how would i change that to daqmx?

Can we use LabView controls in VC %3F

Hi,
I was wondering if Gauge and Tank controls from LabView can be used in VC++? We have labview installed in our lab and we use the graphic controls as major part of our software. We have one software that is written in VC++. Is it possible to export the controls from Labview to VC++? I know MStudio has all those controls for VC++, but our lab is not willing to spend money on MStudio alone. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Vijay

In a word, no. The controls are drawn by the LabVIEW application itself. They are not standard Windows controls.

How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.
