Creating a Labview VI for controlling an Atmel at32uc3a1512 device.

I have a custom device that has a USB port and an ethernet port,
This device (and it's USB port) are controlled by an atmel at32uc3a1512.
I have an old version of Labview (V8.2) nd I would like to create a VI to communicate and pass data
back and forth with an Atmel at32uc3a1512 but I am not sure how to create a driver for this with the MAX utility.
The device shows up in my Windows XP control panel as a USBLib device...
Any direction, suggestions, or links to examples or whitepapers on this is appreciated
thanks

Hello Japper,
If you would like to attempt to communicate to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a device using USB, then the following tutorial should be useful. This details how to use NI-VISA to communicate with a USB device, however this requires detailed knowledge on how the device sends, receives, and processes data.
USB Instrument Control Tutorial:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en
If you are attempting to write LabVIEW code that will be deployed to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a target then that is a whole different set of needs. This device is not an officially supported target, and would require a significant amount of modification and tweaking in order to get this to work, if it is possible. The best resource that I can provide for that would be this guide on how to port LabVIEW to ARM devices. I understand that the Amtel at32uc3a1512 is not an ARM device, however this would be the closest guide that we have for porting LabVIEW as a target VI.
LabVIEW Embedded for ARM Porting Guide - Chapter 1: Introduction:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6994/en
Let me know which method you are attempting to use the Amtel at32uc3a1512 as; either a target, or a device.
Thanks,

Using APT ActiveX methods to create a labview program for BPC 203 3 channel Benchtop Piezo controller

Hi Everyone,
I am really very new to Labview and i am in great need for some help.I am assigned a task where i am supposed to create a labview program to control or moniter a BPC203 3 channel benchtop Piezo controller. I created a program with the help of the instructions provided in the APT-Labview guide provided by Thorlabs.But th program doesnt run . Whenever i try to run it i get the same error which says that "Control HW Communications disabled".I have attached a snapshot of the error message.So i tried to create a small program in labview which would read the volage output.Even there i got the same error message.I suppose there is some mistake on my part which i am not able to correct due to the lack of proper knowledge.Could anyone please help me to solve this problem.A slight elaboration would be highly appreciated.Also i think the error lies in the use of invoke node with the get Voltage output method. I am not sure whether the parameters i have provided to the invoke node are correct.Any help of any sort would be highly appreciated.

Hi
I had the same problem today. However, I noticed that the piezo controller has 3 channels with separate slots and they are packaged in the same box. Therefore the whole box has a serial number, probably something like 71822280, and this is written with large letter. Now, in order to communicate with any of the channels, this does not help, but one needs to communicate directly with the interested channel and they have thier OWN SERIAL NUMBERS.
For example channel 1 (my X direction in the nanoMax stage) has serial 91822281, Y has 91822282 and Z has 91822283. So try looking if you have the right serial number Hopefully you found out this yourself but this might help others, I took me3 hours to get this thing working when I started to plug-in the cables and everything.

Looking for LabVIEW subroutine for controlling Perkin Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrometre

I want to control a Perkin Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrometre by LabView for integration into a running LabView program controlling the overall experimental setup.
I have got the documentation with the commands for serial interface control, but I do not succed to use them with LabView.
For this reason, I was wondering if a .vi exists for this instrument.

Her the screenshot. The communication protocol of the Lambda 900 is based on the rules of the SCPI protocol.
The different steps corresponds on:
    1. initializing the interface
    2. switching the serial interface on
    3. enabeling the communication interface
    4. thry to read the system identification.
The different write actions confirm the wirting of the commands, but the read action has nothing to read and the timeout function is activated and returns the corresponding error message. I checked and their are no bytes to read at the serial interface.
If have checked the physical connection between the computer and the specrometer by using the standard program from Perkin (UVwinlab) which is correctly working.

Labview basic vis for controlling Newport ESP6000 controller and 3 axis stages

I have looked in Ni.com's development zone and cannot find anybody who
has created or developed Labview code for controlling a ESP6000
Newport controller. Newport provides the basic level dll for use with
Labview. Has anybody developed a good basic LabView VI implementing
these dlls?
Any advice and suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated.
K Patel

This is a library I just quickly put together from what I remember when I used to used the ESP6000 and Unidrive systems - All you need to do is call "Open and Initialise Axes" (note the Australian/UK spelling!) and then home each axis individually, and then call any of the other commands (Move Relative, Move Absolute, Stop, etc) - note: sue to an hardware limitation, you can only home one axis at a time, and that could take a while!
*** The DeveloperZone is not letting me upload the library - email me (address below), and I'll email it directly to you.

Creating Labview VI for Newport's ESP6000 motion controller

I am working on creating a Labview VI for ESP6000 motion controller (Newport). I want to move to stages independently one by one and acquire synchronized data from the analog input of the controller during the motion of the one of the stages. If there is anyone working with Labview on ESP6000, I will be glad to dicsuss common issues, obstacles, sub vi's etc.

We built a test station for an automotive component with the ESP6000. The biggest limitation we ran into was the 1000-sample buffer capacity of the analog input. We were hoping that it would behave like the NI DAQ boards. It was not our choice to use the ESP6000. The customer supplied it. The whole setup cost in excess of $9,000. The NI equivalent would be about 2/3 that much. Anyway, Newport supplies a driver that does work. It takes some work to get everything going properly though.

Labview driver for Analog Device cards RTI 800 series

Hello,
I'm Mathieu Meisser, from EPFL Lausanne - microtechnique.
I'm working for a company, that produces
laboratory PC-controlled analysers, sold all over the world.
we are searching for the Labview drivers for the I/O analog Device
cards RTI 815/817 in order to developp a new intrumentation control
with Labview 5.0.
It's very important to know if any kind of these drivers are
still avaible and work properly.
please let me know as soon as possible if you know
something about this !
thank you for your cooperation !

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Hi Mohan,
Unfortunately there isn't a instrument driver specific to that device. What you could do though is use our NI-VISA driver and try to communicate with the instrument over serial (I assume it uses serial for communication) There are examples in the Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples) that ships with LabVIEW that will demonstrate some functions you can use. I hope this helps out.

How to create a strictly typed refnum control using LabVIEW scripting

I wish to use LabVIEW scripting to create a strictly-typed refnum control that is bound to my custom control (a type-defined cluster), but I'm unfamiliar with scripting and can't see how to do it.
If I create a New VI Object, using Control Refnum as the Style, how do I provide my custom control to the VI Object Class terminal? When I try using a reference to my custom control.ctl file (using Open VI reference) I get an error: "Error 1057 occurred... Type mismatch: Object cannot be cast to the specified type."
Or, if I create a new Control Refnum as above, using a standard Cluster as the VI Object Class, how do I then convert this refnum control to a strictly typed refnum that is bound to my custom cluster control type?
Thanks in advance for any advice,

Here we go...
You have to create a new Control VI and then specify the VI Type as Typedef.

Labview drivers for agilent e4432b ,can`t find way to control multitone ???

labview drivers for agilent e4432b ,can`t find way to control multitone ???How to deal with it
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brownheart,
Drivers for box instruments are not meant to cover all applications of an instruments use, only the most common uses. Regardless of discussing whether multitone is a common use for this instrument, a cursory examination of the available functions in the driver does not reveal this functionality.
What you will have to do is create your own config VI using the information from the programming manual of the device. Not ideal, but at least the provided NI driver gives you a starting point from which to add this functionality.

Creating LabView application for VME-GPIB device

I am trying to learn how to create software for controlling GPIB devices attached to the VME-GPIB board. One application would be for a setup where Labview is the software used. Another is a real-time system developed with VxWorks.
It seems to me, that in order to be able to create such a LabView application I need detailed information on the VME-GPIB VME memory layout and definitions of all of its registers. Am I right assuming that? Suppose that I am right, where can I get such detail information on the VME properties of the VME-GPIB device?
I found such a document for the GPIB-1014 device, which seems to be a precursor to the VME-GPIB device.
Am I correct assuming that such manual would also be essential for writing VxWorks software as well?
Thanks in advance,
Zen

Zen,
I have received your support email regarding this issue and currently working on getting you the needed information. I will contact you when it is ready.

Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.
You can find more details about this issue in this KB:

Creating Properties and Methods for an exe built in LabVIEW

Hi all,
How do we create properties and methods for an executable built in LabVIEW.
I know when building an exe, the "Enable ActiveX server" option in advanced has to be enabled.
But after that how do we create Properties and methods for the activeX component.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

You cannot build your own COM specific properties and methods for the ActiveX interface in LabVIEW, the only thing exposed are the normal VI server properties and methods.

Email [email protected] if you can help out.
Thanks,
David.

The first place to look for stuff like this is the vendor's web page--in this case www.watlow.com. How did I know this? I guessed. You can typically guess 90% of company websites...
In a couple minutes I was able to find your controller and a document on how to communicate with it. If you email me I can send it to you (it's too big to post...).
Next, reading the document (which by the way contains a good basic primer on serial communications)I saw that one of the protocols you can use for communicating with the 942 is Modbus RTU. I can also send you a set of modbus drivers.
Hope this helps in thermal testing your chips...
