I would like to create a pop-up window appear from Labview Interface. In this window, I will have a slide control and an image taken from a camera. The main VI have to run while pop-up window is open. How can I do ?

When I pushed a button, this pop-up window has to appear. There will be a slide control and a picture from a camera in this window. Is it possible to make appear this windows while main VI Interface continue to run ? How can I do this ? Thank you for your answers.
Cyril.

Here you go. This is simple example. Maybe not the best way, I am just
beginner in LV and still not comfortable with data flow that much. I prefer
events, so I would change this to use Event Structures.
When you click on OK button on SliderMain, it opens Slider.vi. Now both
windows are open and you can interact with both. Now if you click on OK
again with Slider.vi open, you run into problems. Only thing I did was
change VI properties of slider.vi, mainly window appearance.

I got a CCTV camera. On the side is says 'NATIONAL CCTV LENS 8mm F1.2. Can I connect that to my macbook pro? How?

I got a CCTV camera. On the side is says 'NATIONAL CCTV LENS 8mm F1.2' can I connect that to my macBook pro? How? I'm doing a project and I need to connect the camera to my Macbook pro. I also need to be able to see what the camera sees at the same time. How do I dont this? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

It depends on what connections the camera has. If it has USB, just plug it in. If it is networked, put the camera on the network and then access it from your Mac using whatever software or browser access is directed by the camera instructions. If it has a purely video or analog connection (coaxial, RCA, etc), you will need some kind of video interface in addition to the Mac.

DVR&Wireless cctv Camera

I have cctv wireless camera and I use the USB DVR to show the picture
in the my labtop.
but now I want to use this camera in the labview but I don't know how to work the cctv camera in labview ?
please help.

Hi tyryeer,
As natasftw said, we would need more information. If this is a USB 2.0 camera, it is possible we will be able to talk to it in LabVIEW using the NI IMAQdx driver, if it is DirectShow compatible. IMAQdx does require a license. We do also support USB 3.0 Vision and GigE Vision, in addition to FireWire (though that can get really messy on Windows 7 as Microsoft dropped support for FireWire).
For more information on support camera buses and standards with NI software/hardware, see these two resources as a start:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5386/en/
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4331B4AA3AE95233862574C200539A2F
Another possibility is that the camera manufacturer includes DLLs or already has made a LabVIEW API and driver to talk to the camera. Do you know if either of these exist?
Thanks!

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.

Adobe Camera Raw Interface - Can anyone help?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed on my PC running under XP. I have version 6.5 of Camera Raw installed.
My camera is a Nikon D60 which records its Raw images as .NEF. When I open a Raw file in PSE9 the Camera Raw Interface
does NOT open. When I click to open a Raw file there is usually a delay before a small rectangular box appears headed Adobe
Photoshop Elements with the text stating Reading Camera Raw Format, there is a row of green boxes to show the progress. When
complete the image is displayed in the panel and also in the small panel underneath. When I point the cursor over the image in the
lower panel the file name is shown as Whatever.NEF but no adjustment controls are shown.
Assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks.

This can occur if your screen-resolution is smaller than 768 pixels high. There is a minimum screen height required to display the ACR controls and if that is not satisfied, then ACR just opens the RAW file w/o showing the adjustment interface. Commonly Netbooks or very small laptops have this issue. What is the screen resolution you are using on your PC’s monitor?

LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion

Dear Sir/Madam
I am using softwares Labview 7.1, SolidWorks 2005, Cosmos Motion 2005 and LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion. I try to solving my project entitled “Tracking of a Two Link Robot”. We give a point which includes X and Y as its coordinate system. To do so, robot will move to this point. However I have a problem to solve my project. Considering to Example(PID Example.vi from http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3402). that including one degree of freedom. I wish to solve a project with two degrees of freedom. I attached an image of my project in JPG formatting. Could you please let me have a solved problem in same case or helping me in this way?
Thank you so much for your attention.
Sincerely yours

LabVIEW Interface for third party EtherCAT slaves

I have a third party EtherCAT hardware (slave) and software. I am using and industrial PC with Intel PRO network card as the EtherCAT master. This setup works fine, and I can talk to the EtherCAT modules using the thirdparty software.
Now, I would like to develop a LabVIEW interface to talk to the EtherCAT slaves for testing purposes, since most of my test programs are written in LabVIEW.
Is it possible to write EtherCAT software in standard LabVIEW 2013 using an inustrial PC as Master?
If I use the DLL of the third party software, do I need LabVIEW Real Time module for etherCAT communication?
-Thanks

Hi rosh,
I think it will depend on how the DLLs are designed. If you call the DLL at the right rates, you may be able to avoid using LabVIEW Real-Time. If you want to run LabVIEW Real-Time on your PC, you would need to replace the existing OS with LabVIEW Real-Time. Once you do that, you may be able to run your existing DLLs but compatibility is not guaranteed. This KnowledgeBase article describes the process of determining if your DLL is compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time (NI PharLap ETS is what installs when you replace the OS). For our other Real-Time operating systems on different targets, you would need access to the original source code so you could recompile for the new target.

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!
Kelsi

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..
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=D62E8D508F9832E6E0440021287E6A...
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.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/CF4279A34F855AB186257B1F00003B82
Can you help me with it.
Thanks in advance.

Kinect LabVIEW Interface issue

Hello. I am hoping someone can help with this problem. I am trying to get the LabVIEW Kinect Demo.vi and additional vi's (from Kinect LabVIEW Interface Using Microsoft Kinect API) to run on my system:
64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1
LabVIEW 2011 w/ Vision
Microsoft Kinect SDK (most recent)
.NET 4.0
I have been able to get the vi to load without errors, but when I run it I receive the attached error message.
Error 7 occurred at Constructor Node in Kinect_API.lvlib:Initialize Kinect.vi->Kinect_API.lvlib:Kinect Demo.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer. ========================= NI-488: Nonexistent GPIB interface.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Here are the screenshots from the main VI, and what appears to be the problem VI from the error message. It appears as though LabVIEW finds the files correctly, but this error pops up which says it can't find a VI. Thanks for helping me with this issue.

"problem installing LabVIEW Interface Generator"

Hello,
I am running labview 7.1, windows xp sp2.
I am interested in trying out the new labview interface generator, but something seems to be going wrong on installation.
I download and run the executable, it unpackages a bunch of stuff pretty fast, then it starts unpackaging an "MDSPlus" package that takes a very long time (20 minutes). Then the MDSplus install wizard comes up, I press ok/next. Then another very long wait while it installs, then finally a message saying MDSplus installation complete, click close to exit which I do. Then that wizard goes away, as does the extracting zip dialog. No errors, everything seems fine.
But then when I open labview, there is no change: same old tools under tools/instrumentation. There is no "interface generator" on the list produced by add/remove programs (top level or under National Instruments). The only thing added is MDSplus.
Have attempted several times, rebooted, etc. Still no new tools.
Thanks in advance

Hi TR:
Thanks for your patience.   I think we (at NI) started barking up the wrong tree. I went back to your original post and notice you said things like MDSplus, 20 minute install time, etc.   I'm wondering if this is something as simple as you are running the wrong installer. The self-extracting archive file for the LabVIEW Interface Generator tool is named "driverctolv.exe".   Is this what you downloaded and are running? If not, please go back to the web site:
https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nigb.guestbook?code=GB_INFOLVINSTDRIVER&lang=US&gb_prof_id=4982&scode=...
Fill in the info again, select "Continue" to get to the next page. If you are running Internet Explorer, right-click on the "Download the utility for LabVIEW 7.1" link and select "Save Target As...". You should see the filename at this point. Verify that it indeed has the name listed above.   After download then run the extracting archive. The installer should take no more than a minute or two to install (no where near 20 minutes) and the dialogs should not indicate MDSplus.
I did a few Google and other searches on MDSplus. It seems that there are VI wrappers around MDSPlus libraries. So, maybe you are also using this product separately?
If, for some reason, you are indeed launching the driverctolv.exe and somehow the MDSplus installer is being launched, we really need to take a totally different approach to problem solving. But, maybe you can confirm before we go down that path.
Again, thanks for your patience.

LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkitについて

はじめまして。
LabVIEW2013にNI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit を導入したいと考えております。
NIホームページからNI無料アドオンに進み、Arduino用NI LabVIEWインタフェースツールキットの画面からダウンロードを試みたのですが、
Step　One：　VI Packege Manager　のインストール後、このソフトを立ち上げたところLabVIEW Tools Network及びVI Packege Network に接続できないと表示されます。
どなたか、この現象の改善方法について御教授頂けないでしょうか?
宜しくお願い致します

返信ありがとうございます。以下に実際に表示された画面を貼りますので宜しくお願いいたします。
まず、VI Packege Manager を起動すると、左の画面が表示されます。
エラーが発生しているようですが、ひとまずOKを押すと次の画像が表示されます。
この画面ではライブラリにパッケージが存在していないと表示されており、
表記通りにToolsからCheck the VI Packege Network for Available Packages を開きました。
開いた結果、表示されたのが次の画像です。
この画面では、どうも問題がないような内容が表記されているように思えますが、
OKを押すと、また最初の画面に戻ってしまいます。
　LabVIEW　Tools Network　を起動したところ、左のような画面が表示され、
ネットワークに接続されていないことが分かります。
よって接続を試みるためにHelpからActivationを選択し、ひとまず30 day Trialに登録しようとしたところ、下の画面が表示されました。
　この画面ではサーバーに繋がらないという内容であったので、表記通り黒の太文字の部分をネットで調べたところ、どうもVIPM Professionaｌ　を購入しなくてはいけないようです。
私の考えでは、LabVIEW　Tools Network　に接続あるいはアクティブ化がされていないのが原因だと考えておりますが、その改善方法が分かりません。
そもそもVI Packege Managerは無料でも使用可能であり、LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkitもまた無料アドオンだと認識しており、無料の範囲で導入しようと考えております。（LabVIEW　2013は購入しております）
宜しくお願い致します。

Labview interface arduino

Hi, I am using Arduino with LabVIEW to automate an extruder machine for my masters project. Can you please tell me how to obtain wire diagram for the Arduino circuit after completing the graphical circuit in LabVIEW? Can I get some more examples on LabVIEW interface Arduino related to motion control and automation?
Thanks & regards,
Akshay Wankhede

Hello Askhu,
LabVIEW plus Arduino sounds like a fun combination!
SparkFun even sells a kit for it, which is handy because they also provide a good starting point for a support community:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10812
And we sell an interface toolkit that may be helpful:
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/212478
And our own community page appears to start here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/labview-interface-for-arduino
I don't know much about any of this, but these seem like good places to start looking for more information!
Good luck,
Edwin!

View CCTV Cameras through Airport Express?

I am quite perplexed by this situation.
My system is a Cox Modem connected to > an Airport Extreme (connected to my Mac) > and a new Airport Express (wireless connection) that extends my wifi.
My generic DVR (with CCTV cameras) is connected > to the Airport Express by wire through the LAN Ethernet port. I'd like to view the cameras over the Internet.
There are several moving parts that I have been tinkering with such as open ports, dynamic IP addresses, and other things. It seems as though I have read so much (and some of it old) that I have scrambled my brains trying to distill this into a simple task. All the hardware is the latest generation.
I am most grateful for any suggestions.

Hello Ed,
If you could, can you connect the DVR to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, either by moving it or a long CatV cable. The net question is, your DVR, is it on the same IP range as your rest of the network? Is it set to DHCP or have you set it to a Static IP address? Personally, once you know that you can talk to the DVR over your network, I'd set the DVR to a Static IP address and reserve the address in the Airport (under settings).
If you know the IP address of the DVR can you ping the DVR? If using a Mac and using Mavericks then try this to find Network Utility (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5897). I wouldn't mess about with opening ports until you can see the DVR from your internal network. Once you have it as you like then I'd go and setup your port forwarding.
Personally as well, depend on the capacity of the DVR and cameras, I wouldn't recommend streaming your DVR using the Airport Express to your Airport Extreme. Just means your wireless is clogged up constantly streaming heavy load of video, which may mean your other wireless devices get slowed down as to accessing the internet...
