Does LabWindows/CVI support C++?

Hi there,
I have been using labview for long time and we are looking for another way to improve the performance and labwindows/CVI seems to be a good choice. But here I got few questions
1) Does it support C++ also?
2) Could I compile the LabWindows/CVI applicaiton as a standalone program using in other computer without labview installed?

Hi dragondriver,
are you using CVI or LabVIEW??!? 'Cause here we are on the CVI board
Anyway, whichever is the system you are developing on the Run-time Engine must match the requirements for the executable. As per CVI, the runtime must be of the same level or higher that this. That is why you cannot run a CVI2012 executable with a CVI7 IDE or runtime installed, while it is safe to so the opposite. I do not know the state of the art with LV: in the past the release of the development system and that of the runtime needed to match exactly (infact you could have several LV runtime installed on the same system).
You cannot expect of course that a CVI executable can run on a system with the LV runtime installed (and vice versa)!
With reference to your last question, Traditional DAQ and DAQmx are completely different products, so installing one of them does not affect the other. Additionalle, you cannot mix commands from both environments in the same application: either you develop using old Traditional DAQ functions or you move entirely to the new DAQmx. You can have both of them installed on the target system.

Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course contain subject like Communicating with Instruments(SCPI commands)

HI, I am having query regarding; Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course contain subject like Communicating with Instruments(SCPI commands)
LabVIEW: LabVIEW Instrument Control Course Day 1 coves subject like Communicating with Instruments This lesson describes how you can use LabVIEW tocommunicate with instruments. You will learn how touse NI-VISA, NI Spy, SCPI commands, and theInstrument I/O Assistant to perform instrument I/O. My question is to you,Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course covers similar kind of training like Communication with Instruments? I am more interested in learning How to use SCPI commands to perform instrument I/O. Will you please guide me? So I can choose correct training course.

How does Labwindows/CVI label the device?

hi there,
I have two DAQ devices installed in machine. I am using labview 7.1 & traditional DAQ in that machine too. In that machine, the system label the card dev1 and dev2. Recently, I am trying to port my code to CVI with DAQmx9.7 applied, I am trying to write to dev2, it works. But when I write to dev1, it said no such device and suggest me to use dev2 or dev4. I don't know what's going on. When I open MAX, it only shows the old configuration (dev1 and dev2). I didn't see anything about dev4. So how can I tell the label of devices in CVI? Thanks.

Hello dragondriver,
What DAQ devices are you using? You can try testing the devices in MAX by running a "Self Test" on both the device names you found in MAX. After running the "Self Test" on both devices you can try removing one of the devices and seeing what device name in MAX goes from green to white with a red "X". You can then do the same to the second device to make sure you know which is which. After doing this, hook both devices back up to the computer and give them both custom names by right clicking and selecting "Rename". CVI responds in the same way LabVIEW responds to devices in MAX, the device name is how CVI represents any devices connected. Once both devices are hooked up to the computer and renamed then they should show up as their names in both CVI and LabVIEW.

Travis E.
Hi Travis, I have 6711 and 6713. In the MAX, it really shows that those devices are assigned to dev1 and dev2, it has been using for long time. But after I install CVI and developed a program, it seems that dev1 is not accessible in the CVI (though it is all right in labview), the error message suggest to use dev4 instead, it is so confusing. I don't know why.

How does the URL of DataSocket constitute?And how to use it in LabWindows/CVI ?

Hi ！
There's a problem puzzled me some days.How does the URL of DataSocket constitute ? And how to use it in LabWindow/CVI ?
For example.I have downloaded a code in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3787.I want to make it work properly.So I configure my DataSocket Server Manger according to the URL of this statement.
DS_Open ("dstp://weather.natinst.com/weather/current",
DSConst_ReadAutoUpdate, DSCurrentCallback, NULL,
&dsCurrentHandle);
My DateSockket Server Manger is configured as:
However,it could not work properly when I debug it.
There's a introduction at the top of the code."You may need to replace the references to weather.natinst.com to 130.164.140.10 if the DNS isn't working properly."So,I modified the statement into
DS_Open ("dstp://130.164.140.10/weather/current",
DSConst_ReadAutoUpdate, DSCurrentCallback, NULL,
&dsCurrentHandle);
but,it did work properly.
We want to communicate with other computers via the URL of DataSocket in LabWindows/CVI.Whereas,how could we make it ia the URL ?
If anyone could help me solve this problem,I would appreciate it very much !
Best regards.

Hi !
Thank you very much for your reply! I will accept your advice.
Besides,I have another question.If I want to visit other computers or other websites，how does the URL of DataSocket I constitute ? Does the URL has any relation with the DataSocket Server Manger ？If does,how to configure the DataSocket Server Manager to let them connected.If they have no relation,how to use the DataSocket Server Manger ?
After all,I want to know how to use it in LabWinows/CVI ？
Thank you very much !
Best regards!

Windows XP supports Labwindows/CVI Test Executive 2.01?

Is Windows XP supports Labwindows/CVI Test Executive 2.01? If no, any patch SW available to make work it on Win XP?

We have run cvi Test executive on Win 2000 and XP we used CVI 7 to build the exe.
not sure if an existing exe compiled for an earlier version of windows will work.
Note with the later versions of OS come multiprocessor support we have had some issues with programs written for single processor operating systems crashing after a few hours when running on a multiprocessor system. This was fixed by setting the processor affinity to restrict the application to a single processor ( under task manager go to process right click and select set affinity then only tick one of the processors.)

====
LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers
System Requirements
NI LabVIEW 7.1 or later
Windows 2000/NT/XP
Use the LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers to create LabVIEW VIs for VXIplug&play and IVI-C instrument drivers from function panel (.fp) files.
Instrument Driver Network
Before using the conversion utility to create a new instrument driver wrapper, please visit ni.com/idnet to see if a LabVIEW Plug and Play instrument driver is available for your device. The Instrument Driver Network (IDNET) provides support for more than 3,000 different instrument models from over 170 different instrument vendors.
Recommendations
This utility was created for developers of C-based instrument drivers who wish to provide a LabVIEW interface, but do not develop a LabVIEW Plug and Play driver. By developing the C and LabVIEW interfaces together, it keeps the components synchronized, and eliminates the need for customers to create their own LabVIEW interfaces. Vendors should distribute the LabVIEW wrapper files with the associated VXIplug&play or IVI instrument driver, so that end users do not have to visit multiple web sites to download the complete driver.
If you are not an instrument vendor, we recommend that you use this utility only if you have instrument driver expertise. Access to the instrument driver source code is preferred, in case you need to edit the C instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI.
After generation, the wrapper VIs should be tested with the instrument.
Instructions
Once you install the software, simply access the utility from the Tools>>Instrumentation>>Import CVI Instrument Driver...menu in LabVIEW. This software replaces the built-in tool and provides feature enhancements.
For additional information on this utility, view the resources below.

Interpolate 1D Array function in labwindows cvi

Does anyone know of a labwindow corresponding function to the labview Interpolate 2d array ?
I am working on converting labview programs to labwindow/cvi and could use the help with this one.
Pete

Hello Pete,
LabWindows/CVI does not have a built in function to do interpolation. In order to do the interpolation in CVI you would need to create your own code. I believe I found some code from another post that should work out for you (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&requireLogin=False&thread.id=24187). Let me know if this is what you are looking to do.

Can not find imaqView3D function panel in labwindows/cvi!

followed what the on-line support told me (add the imaqView3D function declaration into my source code), it does not still work! So seek help from you! thanks so much!

David,
You will probably have a better chance of having your question answered if you posted your question to the Vision or LabWindows/CVI Developers Exchanges.

Usb ni-6008 with LabWindows/CVI version 5.0

Hello,
I would like to use USB NI-6008 with LabWindows CVI version 5.0. The hardware comes with DAQmx version 9.3.5, which does not support CVI v.5.0.
Any ideas how to use this CVI version with USB NI-6008?
Many thanks..

Hi there,
Like you said, DAQmx is only officially compatible with LabWindows/CVI 7.0 or later. This link has more information on this compatibility: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2931
In addition, USB-6008 is only officially compatible with DAQmx (previously, the plaform was Traditional DAQ). You would need Traditional DAQ to work with CVI 5.0, but the USB-6008 doesn't officially work with that.
Someone here might have an alternative solution, but though it seems you need to use CVI 5.0, is it possible to upgrade this?

How Can I Communicate with a Moble Phone throgh RS232 or USB mini,Does NI-VISA support these resources?

Just as we've known, NI LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI provide us the RS232 Lib for Serial Communication.
and also NI-VISA supports both ASL and USB resources.
Mobile Phone(Celler Phone) usually use two kind of ports for data communication: RS232 and USB mini.
both of which act as serial transmission actually.
so the question coming up is: Are the rs232 lib or NI-VISA developed to support the overall serial communication
or it just work well with the standard rs232 com port?
Phone from differnt vender has its particular port and driver.which relate to communication protocols.but
the accessory tool Hyper Terminal from Windows OS can communicate with all kinds phone which has
its driver installed on the system.
so does anyone can give some idea about low level serial communication?thank you very much.

NI-VISA's ASRL sessions basically work with virtual COM ports, however NI-VISA ASRL operation is guaranteed only with standard COM ports and NI-Serial devices. In fact, I have a 3rd party USB-Serial converter that comes with its own device driver providing a virtual COM port such as COM3, and accessing it through the NI-VISA occasionally causes a Blue Screen death. (It is probably due to device driver.) Therefore using unsupported COM ports from NI-VISA is at your own risk.
As for low-level programming, a typical way is use Win32 Serial Communication API directly. Accessing Win32 API is easy for C-language, but somewhat troublesome for LabVIEW. See the following Platform SDK help:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/devio/base/communications_functions...

Does VI Logger support NI DAQPad 6016

According the specification sheet, the 6016 should support VI Logger, but the software does not work together with the card.
Is there a workaround?

Strato,
I am the product marketing manager for VI Logger at National Instruments.
LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI are both excellent options for creating a data logger. However, if you the time investment to learn develop the code is getting in your way then VI Logger is the best choice for creating a data logger with National Instruments hardware.
The only thing is that it the application engineer was correct in stating that the current version of VI Logger does not support NI-DAQmx devices. I apologize that the data sheet provided you with incorrect information.
If you don't mind I would like to speak to you "offline" about a way for you to use both VI Logger and the 6016. Would you mind sending your contact information to me at [email protected]?
Thank you.
