DAQ with LabVIEW Student Edition

I am in between to choose either LabVIEW 2013 Student Edition and LabVIEW 2013 student Edition Software Suite. The difference is around 40 bucks for me. If the former lets me control devices through serial port and some data acquisition using NI-DAQ-6008, then I can save some money. I have read some other threads and the answer seems positive, but I just need a little more confidence before spending student earned cash!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For serial communication, you need NI-VISA and for using the 6008, you need DAQmx. Both drivers are free and available from the Support page. The student suite is not at all required if this is all you are doing.

  • How close can I come to Realtime with Labview student edition and an Arduino project?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm really new to Labview and just recieved the Labview 2012 student edition and I plan to do a project. It came to my concern that after asking the Labview interface for arduino forums, they suggested that it cannot provide realtime.My project in generalwill consist of two arduinos, one with many sensors close to 30 and the second will have many actuators. My question is whether I can come to develop a realtime crucial system or fast processing speeds. Please provide any input.Your time and responses are much appreciated.

    Thanks for replying, but if I may ask, are you implying that when the arduino is programmed it will run in realtime, however when labview interfaces with it isn't. Then if so would you suggest I just program the arduino and then monitor the system using Labview as my GUI.Lastly say I had the two arduinos already programmed with sensors and actuators and they communicate independently without labview, would labview impede on this time critical system.
     Thanks A Lot
    Anything on a Windows machine is not real-time.  The micro on the arduino is.  You can still program in communications between the micro and LabVIEW and not impede on the real-time operation.  It will take some cycles away, but probably not enough to worry.

  • On how many computer can i install labview student edition?

    I intend to purchase labview student edition in a near future, and i was wondering on how many computer may i install it. All for personnal use. I currently have 2 desktop, and one laptop. But I will soon get a surface 2 pro and my laptop start to be old so I will also replace it soon, and I was wondering if I could get the student version work on all those.

    If you are a student, you can get a renewable 6 month license for free here. no need to purchase anything.
    As for the number of computers you can install it, you need to read the Software Agreement. Look for section G(1). The software can be installed on up to three computers but can be used only on a single computer at any given time. If you get a new computer, just deactivate on the computer to be retired and activate on the new computer.

  • I have LabView Student Edition, how can I make work a USB 6008?

    The Student edition it doesnot have many Vi's that there are necesary to work with a USB 6008, I would like to know how can I make work the Usb 6008 with LabView Student Edition

    Hello Jorge,
    When you say "NI-DAQmx configuration" do you mean the NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility?  Are you using NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base to communicate with the 6008?
    NI-DAQmx 7.5 added support for the USB-6008.  Therefore, you can use either NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base to control this device.  Make sure that you are setting the USB-6008 to NI-DAQmx before trying to use the NI-DAQmx VIs in LabVIEW.  To do this, Open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Tools >> NI-DAQmx Configuration >> NI-DAQmx USB Driver Selector.  Your USB-6008 should appear in this window, indicating which driver your device is configured for.  Make sure it is set to NI-DAQmx before trying to use the NI-DAQmx VIs.
    When your 6008 is set to NI-DAQmx, you cannot use NI-DAQmx Base or any of the DAQmx Base examples.  Likewise, when the 6008 is set to NI-DAQmx Base, you cannot use any NI-DAQmx VIs.
    If you would like to use NI-DAQmx with your USB-6008, please set the driver by following the steps above and verify that "USB-6008" is listed under "Devices and Interfaces >> NI-DAQmx Devices" in MAX.
    I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you continue having trouble with your USB-6008.
    Regards,

  • Labview student edition

    I recently bought labview student edition. How many computers will the license allow me to download to? I want to have it on my school and personal computer.

    This is an excerpt from the general license file previously mentioned: 
    If the SOFTWARE is a student edition (including SOFTWARE acquired
    pursuant to a student install option license), you must (i) be a Student or an Instructor; (ii) have acquired
    a student edition license; (iii) only, if you are a Student, use the SOFTWARE for your personal
    education purposes and not for any other purpose, including research, professional, commercial, or
    industrial purposes; and (iv) only, if you are an Instructor, use the SOFTWARE for your preparation for
    classroom or lab coursework and not for any other purpose, including use in a classroom or lab,
    research, professional, commercial, or industrial purposes. The SOFTWARE may be installed on up to
    three computers. However, only you may use or otherwise run the SOFTWARE, and the SOFTWARE
    may not be run concurrently (i.e., it may only be launched on one computer at a time).
    This agrees with what is mentioned in the README FIRST document for the LabVIEW Student Edition: 
    Installation is
    restricted to your personally owned computer. http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374075r.pdf

  • New VI function token in Labview Student Edition

    All experts out there,
    This VI mod_qam transmitter.vi token is not available in Student edition. How can i be able to create/find one? I am not able to search one in the Function Seach option.
    My objective is to create a M-ary QAM communication system and i am currently using the following vi:
    1) MT Create System Parameters
    2) MT Modulate QAM
    and others.
    From the look of the VI token, it seem that the token is not from the library.
    Please kindly advice.

  • MathScript and LabVIEW Student Edition (Mac OS X version)

    Hi,
    Am I right in thinking that in order to "import" or run Matlab .m files in a LabVIEW VI, I need to use the Mathscript feature?
    I have LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student edition installed on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and can't find the Mathscript feature anywhere in the functions pallet - do I need to install something else in order to get this?
    Thanks for the help. 

    Hello,
    The support for Mathscript on a Mac OS X 10.4 (and higher) for Intel-based machine (only) is available for version 8.6. That is the reason you can't find this in previous versions.
    Hope this helps,

  • N'arrive pas à installer Labview student edition

    Bonjour,
    J'essaie actuellement d'installer Labview 8.2 student edition. Au début de l'installation on me demande logiquement le numéro de série; sauf que sur l'étiquette que je possède je n'ai que deux numéros:
    - 1 suivant P/N composé de 6 chiffres, une lettre, un tiret, puis deux chiffres
    - 1 suivant S/0: composé de 6 chiffres
    Ces deux numéros ne marchent pas... Comment dois je procéder?
    Merci

    Même problème lorsque j'essaie d'installer sans entrer de numéro de série; il m'indique que mon numéro n'est pas juste...

  • Uninstall of LabVIEW Student Edition 2013 on Mac

    I recently installed LabVIEW SE 2013 on MacOS 10.9.2. My goal is a working install of ROBOLAB for LabVIEW which is currently not working properly. My next idea is a complete uninstall and careful reinstall of required software.
    The NI resources on the subject of uninstallation recommend using the uninstall.sh file on the install media to complete an uninstallation. My install media was a downloaded .mpkg file that includes neither an uninstall.sh file or an uninstall option in the installer. Any advice on how to proceed with a complete uninstall?
    With the exception of the driver packages, can I assume that all the LabVIEW files end up in /Applications/National Instruments or are there other locations that end up with LabVIEW files in them?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    According to this KnowledgeBase article the Uninstall script should be in the Extras folder. I have attached the file from my LV 2013 for Mac disk.
    There are quite a few files in Library/Application Support and Library/Receipts as well as Applications.

  • How to interface data acquization card(DAQ) with labview

    I want to take input from labview and display it on labview envioment .all the inputs are digital and change the state of switch according to the input.

    What exactly is your question? Do you have a DAQ board or are you looking for a recomendation on what to buy? If you already have a DAQ board, is it one from NI? If so, what model#? If using a NI board, you should start here. There are also a large number of shipping examples in LabVIEW related to DAQmx.

  • Upgrade "Student Edition" to "Student Suite" Version

    I recently purchased a bundled package comprising a copy of Labview Student Edition with an Uno board.  Being new to Labview, I have now "played' with Labview Student Edition and found I need the version "Labview Student Edition Suite" which has six additional toolkits.  Has anyone found a way to upgrade to the "Suite" version if they are not a Student/Faculty/Staff?  This is a hobby for me, so paying thousands of dollars for a professional version is not an option.

    Since you aren't a student, you aren't legally able to use any student version. Check out the new home license - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LabVIEW-Home-Editi​on/td-p/3117489

  • LV 8.6 Student Edition with Windows 7

    In the middle of this semester, in which I'm taking a LabVIEW class, my laptop crashed.  I quickly replaced with a Gateway NetBook running Windows 7 Starter edition.  When I start to install LabVIEW 8.6 Student Edition, I get error windows:
    LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite
    Error:  Windows SDK function returned an error (Error code-12)
    End Error Report
    Does LV 8.6 SE run under Win 7 Starter?  If not, will it run under a different (upgraded) version of Win 7?
    Or am I just screwed?

    I am having a similar problem. I ma trying to install Labview 8.6 on an EeePC 1005HA running Windows 7 Starter Edition I don't get an error 12 message, it simply states "This product does not support Windows Starter Edition. Consult the documentation for operating system requirements."
    I tired installing using the Troubleshooting Compatibilty mode as suggested in the other threads but got the same result.
    Is there some sort of work around for this or do I have to pay for an upgrade? Will the Home version be enough?
    Thanks,
