Drive VXI-MIO-64E-1 in LabWindows/CVI

I'm integrating a VXI system based NI's VXI-1394 controller in which VXI-MIO-64E-1
was used. My develop envirenment is LabWindows/CVI 5.01. When I use the MIO
card to sample a waveform, the only length of the waveform I can sample is
2048Sa. Then, I insert 2 SIMM with size of 8MB to the MIO card, but it is
useless.
How can I configure and use the onboard Mem of VXI-MIO-64E-1? Could you give
a sample program in CVI?
Thank you very much!

Hello Vishnu,
Unfortunately, the VXI-DAQ cards are no longer supported, but you can find information about using them in the manual. The VXI-MIO Series User Manual has details about setting the input range in Chapter 3 on page 3-4.
Good luck with your application!

VXI-MIO-64E-1 in LabWindows/CVI

I am using VXI-MIO-64E-1 module for Data Acquisition of differential Signal of 0-10V. By default Module is configured in -5V to +5V. I have used status = AI_Configure (deviceNumber, chan, inputMode, inputRange, polarity, driveAIS) function for configure module to 0-10V unipoler but still module is taking -5V to +5V not 0-10V. here is LabWindows/CVI code for configuration of analog input module.
    buffer = (short *)malloc ( NUMPOINTS * sizeof(short));
   status = Init_DA_Brds (1, &brd);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in initializing VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = SCAN_Setup (1, NUMMODULES, ChannelList, ChannelGain);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in configuring VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = DAQ_DB_Config (1, 1);
   status = DAQ_Config (1, 1, 0);
   status = Select_Signal (1, ND_PFI_7, ND_IN_SCAN_IN_PROG, ND_LOW_TO_HIGH);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in Configuring SCAN_START input Line");
    exit(-1);
   InitializeTimer1();
   /* Module 1 Initialization Over */
   /* Module 2 Initialization Starts */
   buffer1 = (short *)malloc ( NUMPOINTS1 * sizeof(short));
   status = Init_DA_Brds (2, &brd);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in initializing VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = SCAN_Setup (2, NUMMODULES1, ChannelList, ChannelGain);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in configuring VXI device 2");
    exit(-1);
   status = DAQ_DB_Config (2, 1);
   status = DAQ_Config (2, 1, 0);
   status = AI_Configure (2, -1, 0, 10, 1, 0);
   /* Module 2 Initialization Over */
What mistake i am doing to configure module-2 to 0-10 Volt input range.

"Consider It Solved"

Roger,
Don't have what you are looking for but depending on your VXI controler there may be an alternative for you to consider. If you are using an embedded controler with a PCI expansion slot (such as 872B or 875B)you can always opt to use a PCI Data Acquisition board that meets your needs. The PCI equivalent board to the VXI-MIO-64E-1 is the PCI-6071E. You can find the product specs at the following location - http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1042〈=US. This board has the functioanality equivalence with one exception, the onboard memory. So assuming you are not using the onboard memory option for the VXI-MIO-64E-1 you should have both programming and functionality transparancy.

Yokogawa UT driver for LabWindows/CVI 6.0 won't translate to LabVIEW 8.6?

The device driver for the Yokogawa UT series furnace controllers is in LabWindows/CVI 6.0 and I would like to use it in LabVIEW. I tried to use the utility to convert from LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW, but it said it couldn't and that the device driver is from before LabWindows/CVI 5.01.
In any case, here is the series of events.
I downloaded the LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW Converter, from
the page on LabVIEW's developer's connection that had the driver for the
Yokogawa UT controller.
From an empty LabVIEW Block Diagram, I click
Tools>>Instrumentation>>Create LabVIEW Interface to LabWindows/CVI
Instrument Driver...
This takes a little while to load. During loading an
FC_Interface_Main.vi runs, apparently trying to find a file.
Once that is done, the two options are Basic and Advanced. I leave
basic selected. I click next. browse to find the ykut.fp file from the
driver I downloaded.
I then click next. The error window that is seen in the screen shot is
then shown.
I called a tech support guy at NI about this, and I e-mailed him with all the above, but there was no reply, though the conversion utility is no longer available on the same web page as this specific device driver.
In any case, if anybody could give a little guidance, it would be appreciated.

Hello Screamingzebras,
I converted the .fp file to be version 5.5 and ran the utility that was mentioned. I have attached two files to this post. "ykut.zip" is the converted .fp file (version 5.5). "yut.zip" is the converted instrument driver.

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.

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.

====
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.

Importing Instruments Driver from LabWindows/CVI

Does anybody have got wintools_32.dll library ?
I need it to convert LabWindowc/CVI Wintools Instrument Driver to Labview.
Could you send it to me?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer.
Exactly, I've tried to import LabWindows/CVI instrument driver to Labview.
This Instrument driver I've found here:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3F04956A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52176&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_source=External
During import procedure i was asked about wintools_32.dll library.
Personally I am interested in System Tray icons functionality of this driver.
I'm not sure that wintools_32.dll is Labwindows/CVI library, but i've searched Microsoft Windows pages with no results.
Regards.

NI MAX entry for a Non-NI/VISA Instrument LabWindows/CVI Driver

Hi All,
Sorry in advance if this is not the right forum.
I have created a IVI class and specific instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI for a Video Generator. The generator is a networked, SCPI based instrument. It does not automatically appear in MAX like other NI based instruments.
How or what do I need to do to MAX to use the instrument? Is it as simple as adding the logical name, driver session and advanced driver entries to MAX? Do I need to create a new instrument in the HW section such that the driver session has a device to point to? I have been playing aroud with the networked instrument section in MAX and nothing seemed to make sense to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Minesh,
Maybe this Knowledge Base article will help get you started. I think you will need to add a new VISA TCP/IP Resource in Measurement and Automation Explorer.

Example LabWindows/CVI code for NI4351

Hi,
I'm using an NI4351 PCI DAQ card with the Ni435x
driver and LabWindows/CVI v5.5 (on Windows 98) to measure temperature
and voltage levels. Are there any simple tested code examples that I
could download, which use the NI435x driver function
NI435X_Check_and_Read(), called from an asynchronous timer for
continous scan? There are no problems when I use MAX (so hardware
problem is ruled out), but my code yields
occasional random temperature reading errors (looks like data
corruption to me). The NI435x_ functions return no errors. Can I use
lower level C driver functions instead of NI435X_Check(), NI435X_Read(), or NI435X_Check_and_Read()?
What does MAX use behind the scene? Of course, the MAX setup only scans
the one channel, so maybe this is why it works correctly. I have to
scan one temperature channel and six voltage channels though.
Many thanks,
John.

Humphreyy,
thanks for the tip. I tried it but it did not work, the same errors were present. Are there any other suggestions. I have racked my brain to figure out why this is happening and have come up with nothing. I am also getting a "Warning" message concerning the "KsMedia.h" file that says "Warning: Excess characters in multibyte character literal ignored." The warnings trace back to the "typedef enum" section of that file. Could that be causing a ripple effect that produces the error I am seeing in the other header files I mentioned??
I could really use your help and any more help that is available. I really don't want to use Visual C++, because this software is going to get more sophisticated and is to be used in NASA Langley's VISTAS simulator, an environment taylor made for National Instruments software.

Hi,
there is an instrument driver (toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp) and several examples are shipped with CVI, i.e. word2000demo.cws

Using Labwindows CVI Version 10.0.1 USB communication with FTDI FT2232D to unit under test.

Communication with unit under test works fine in hypterminal after I downloaded virtual driver from FTDI site.
Never done any USB communication before in LabWindows CVI. What functions can I use in labwindows CVI?

Since the device presents itself as a COM port (pretty standard with the FTDI chips) you should be able to use the RS-232 library in CVI. OpenComConfig() will open a connection to the device, ComWrt() will write data to it, and the various ComRd() functions can be used to read the responses back.

Connect LabWindows/CVI to Opto22

I would like to connect the hardware of Opto22 to the software of

forgive me if I ask stupid questions.

Hi nqn,
There are actually two conversion wizards that CVI offers with regards to integrating with Visual C++. You can read about them in the Integrating LabWindows/CVI with Microsoft Visual C++ KnowledgeBase. The only problem is that we don't have conversion wizards available for Visual Studio 208. We only have conversion and project wizards available for Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 6.0. I will say that we are planning on creating wizards for Visual Studio 2008 but this is several releases away. With that said, I would suggest that you submit a product suggestion so we know people are wanting this.
So for right now, I would suggest using the conversion wizard in Visual Studio 2005 and then just upgrading that project to VS 2008.
