Digital barometer to be integrated with Labview programme

Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a digital barometer that could be integrated into an existing NI data acquisition system and Labview 8. Ideally I'm looking for a barometer that can connect to the acquisition hardware we have currently and provide a real-time readout of the ambient pressure within the Labview VI we have currently (obviously some modification to this would be required). I've had a look around the NI website and can't find anything suitable, and Google turns up far too many results.
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum - I was unsure which would be the best place for it.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Thomas
Can I ask what acquistion hardware you have first of all? A barometer measures the static DC pressure and a recommendation I have is to use a compactDAQ or compactRIO board using a C Series Module; preferably a NI 9237 or NI 9219. Both the NI 9237 and NI 9219 modules can power strain gages or pressure transducers.
A good link to the pressure sensors we have can be found here:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3639
Please let me know what acquistion hardware you have and I can advice how best to set this up.
Many thanks for using the NI forums and I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards

Canon digital camera integration with Labview

hi,
i need to integrate canon digital camera with labview.
i have applied for the SDK from canon , and waiting for the
reply from them. i have got a liitle control of the camera from the
dll from PS remote from http://www.breezesys.com/PSRemote/
but not able to grab the images to labview ,
if any one has worked on similar applications kindly help
thanks and regards,
sundar.

hi there,
there's a function SetOutputPath(path) where you can specify the path where the driver of the camera saves the pictures. for more information see the SDK docs. after the pictures have been saved to disk you can read the files with the LV-VIs from the "Graphics & Sound" palette. there are some examples shipped with LV of how to read image files.

Use Kappa Camera with LabVIEW

Hi everybody, has anyone controled a digital camera (Kappa DX 2N) with LabVIEW?
There is a development kit avaylable with control functions written in C. I know it is possible to convert c-Funcions in LabVIEW VIs. But there are so many functions to be converted. If anyone has experiences with that kind of camera (probably converted the functions) and knows which functions are needed for single specifications I would be very happy.
Best regards jotthape

Jotthape,
unfortunately there is no information about this camera in our various support resources so NI can't be of much help here. Just one suggestion: Post this question to the Machine Vision forum instead of the LabVIEW forum. This forum is monitored by some very good machine vision experts so your chances to get an answer will increase.
You should also provide more information about the camera (link to a datasheet, PC interface type,...).

PVCS version control integration in LabVIEW?

I am currently using the free 2 client Perforce software with LabVIEW. It works well for my needs, as we have only 2 developers working on this project. However, we were just got bought out by a larger company that uses Serena PVCS for their version control. We are transitioning to their IT system and I need to transfer everything to a new server anyway, so was considering trying PVCS instead.
I would love to hear about anyones experience with PVCS integrated with LabVIEW? Or even better, if anyone has the experience to compare PVCS with Perforce in terms of LabVIEW integration? I need to weigh the two options.
Thanks for your help!

Integrating TortoiseSVN with LabVIEW's Compare tool

I’m trying to set up the TortoiseSVN Diff tool, as described:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12175 and
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3BEC521972301FF2862576EA00609CA6
To configure TortoiseSVN to use LabVIEW’s compare tool I added the following for “.vi” file extensions:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Compare\LVCompare.exe" %mine %base -nobdcosm –nobdpos
The links above tell you use “Program Files,” but on my system the LVCompare.exe is located in my “Program Files (x86)” directory.
When I try to run the diff tool (right click on the file in question -> TortoiseSVN -> Diff with previous version), I get the following error:
I cannot get the LVCompare tool to work with the command prompt either, as described:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/configlvcomp_thirdparty/
I did notice that it mentions the Compare tool is only available with LabVIEW Professional Development System. Does this apply for using it with TortoiseSVN as well? I am running LabVIEW 2011 Full Development System on Windows 7 (64 bit). The version of TortoiseSVN I am using is: TortoiseSVN 1.7.6, Build 22632 - 64 Bit , 2012/03/08 18:29:39 Subversion 1.7.4.
Any help getting the LVCompare tool integrated with TortoiseSVN to work would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Lauren

Yes it does. LVCompare is only a simple wrapper executable that eventually tries to run a VI in the LabVIEW installation directory. And this VI will not work if the LabVIEW installation is not licensed as Professional Development system.
Note to the AEs: In the second link of Laura's post, it states incorrectly: Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Base Package
This is completely contradictory to the note in the last link, that states that the Professional Development System is required. A documentation correction request seems in order.

How can I control PIC programmer with LabVIEW

I need to control a PIC Programmer (MPLAB PM3) with LabVIEW. How to do this?

Hi Paul.
I am working on a project that is using LabVIEW to communicate via serial communication with 4 programmers (Com 1, 2, 3, & 4). I am currently using the Microchip PM3 programmer DOS utility PM3CMD.exe to send/receive commands from the system exec.vi in LabVIEW. I am attempting to program simultaneously with 4 programmers, but the PM3 programmers are returning a database error if I try and communicate with more-than 2 programmers at a time. I noticed that you have some experience with some drivers from Microchip and using serial commands.
Do you have any suggestions that may help me.
Thanks.

Integrating custom PCIe hardware with LabView

Hi, I am new to LabView so appologize if question is in the wrong place.
I have a custom PCIe acquisition card that I want to use in LabView environment to postprocess some data. So far the board has been used successfully with its windows drivers and VS.NET software. What is the process for setting up a device like that in LabView? Can LabView use the COM object windows driver just like a Visual Studio project would? If yes, is there a document that explains how this is done?
I have worked with NI's own instruments where the driver is provided and seamlessly integrates into the LabView, but I am a bit lost with this custom non NI board.
Thank you.

Thanks. I tried searching that site for examples... but this is a board that our company has developed (software defined radio) and I am certain no one has written any drivers for it yet. Thats the problem statement that I am trying to research. What would it take to make the board we designed compatible with LabView. Since this is a Software defined radio platform, LabView offers some useful functions that can be used to postprocess and analyze data captured by our card.
Ideal goal is to have LabView module capture data from PCIe buffer allowing for further processing (filtering, FFT, demodulation, etc...). I would appreciate if you can direct me to some examples or literature on this topic.
Thanks,
Anton

Replacing a PLC with LabView Article

I just read the article "Replacing a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with LabVIEW and FieldPoint for Composting Plant Automation ". I am very concerned by the author's lack of knowledge about current PLC's. This article does not fairly compare the two platforms and is not accurate. For example, the author states that 100 msec is a typical response time for a PLC. This is absurd. Today, even low end PLCs can achieve responses time below 10 msec and high end PLCs even as low as 1 msec. It all boils down to specifying the right hardware for the application. One real danger the author does not address with building a "soft PLC" is the potential for the I/O not to fail to a safe condition if the operating system (Windows) lock
s up. This can be disastrous and unsafe for many control applications. I would suggest any reader that is seriously considering replacing a PLC in an industrial environment with a "soft PLC" watch out for this potential shortcoming. Readers can visit www.isa.org to find additional information on this issue.
I would not dispute that for a pure data acquisition application LabView can offer a superior solution. The safety conern can be mitigated if there is a "hard wired" safety system that has been properly designed. However, many times the PLC may provide safety shutdowns that depend on its true deterministic operating system and high reliability.
I hope that readers will not interpret this as a slam against LabView but as encouragement research this issue further from a different perspective.

I can see from your comments that you have a firm grasp of the PLC/vs PC concept, and agree with your comments. I have been an instrumentation developer/integrator for 36+ years, and have first hand experience with the situation(s) to which you refer. I have found the optimum solution has been a combination of PC/MMI software and PLC hardware. I have many such systems up and running in different industries, and have found this to be the best overall solution. Let the PC do what it does best(MMI display, complex calculations and decision making), and the PLC what it does best(solid deterministic control, with a non-windows operating system). I usually use an OPC server for communication between the two units, and with proper software design on both ends,
and a hardwired E-Stop system, excellent overall opertion/safety is achieved.
Your comments should serve as good stimulus for other developers.
