>> I want to know the hardware details of my application(engine test cell automation using labview).
I have a feeling that that one of the following happened  :
A. The "Post" button was clicked by mistake before the compilation was over.
B. The OP wants to know the hardware details for  his application which looks like an engine test cell automation. ( It thus must have been in a hardware forum I guess )
Post more details on the number of analog channels , required resolution, sampling time etc and number of digital channels and there is a possiblity that we can start helping..

  • How can you create a test plan generator using labview

    I am looking to create a testplan generator using labview to help RF Engineers translate test requirements into test parameters and wanted to know how i can go about it.

    Have you considered to use Teststand? Teststand organizes all the tests and allows to parameterize them.
    Creating a tool with a similar functionality will be more expensive than buying Teststand and modifing the operator interface.

  • Battery management system design for EV to monitor and to balance the Li-Ion cells' voltages using LabView, NI myRIO-1900 and LTC6804-2 IC

    Hello,
    I have NI myRIO-1900 and LabView 2014. I need to design a Bettary management system to monitor and balance the rechargable Lithium-Ion battery packs' voltages and charges using LTC6804-2 IC. I am facing some problems to program the IC for monitoring and balancing the cells' voltages and charges using LabView via NI myRIO. Can anyone help me to design this by giving some references and technques.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mohammad,
    I believe with EPS you can monitor the cells' voldates and charging. I'm not sure what you mean by balancing, though. Can you elaborate a bit more?
    Thanks.

  • DSO9404A Automation using Labview

    Dear sir,
    I would like to know whether it is possible to access digital output (4 channels) of above DSO9404A oscilloscope through Ethernet using LabVIEW. I tried with DSO9404A IVI drivers and example VIs are available in LabVIEW to control the scope, but it is throwing errors. Kindly let me know the procedure to automate the oscilloscope. 
    Thanks & Regards,

    Yes, Oscilloscope is detected in NI MAX. I configured scope via LAN directly to my PC. It is throwing the below mentioned error while running the example Acq Wfm Edge Trigged.VI. Kindly let me know the another procedure instead of IVI drivers to control the scope. Means if signals are present at 4 channels i have to do some manual adjustments like auto scale, trigger source, changing of time scale and voltage levels, etc. Thease things should be automated every time when the signals are presented at 4 channels.

  • I want to test my microphone using labview vi

    Hello SIr,
    I want to check my microphone using labview program, using labview vi i want to get dynamic vibrations of sound when we will give input to our head phone(In this we are having our microphone). From this while on speaking using our head phone, its possible for me to get the frequency of my sound.I m having labview 5.1 version. If you have any simple code for this problem, Please send me.
    Kindly regards
    Shridhar

    Hi mpshridhar,
    Yes, LabVIEW 5.1 is too old a release, so I'm in a fix too. However in LabVIEW 8.6 (and other newer versions) there's an Express VI that will help you acquire signals from your microphone.
    Here's an image of the VI and the pop-up that will help you acquire the signal.

  • Teststand automatic test report printing using LabView workaround

    I tried the LabView workaround for the automatic printing of test reports in TestStand (see email message below). 
    It will work if I set the URL to a specific HTML TempReport.  However, TestStand is configured to generate a unique test report for each UUT.  So, in the test report directory there are xml reports and the occasional HTML report, example TestReport_00104.html.  Not sure then what to set the URL to?
    Note:  Your reference number is included in the Subject field of this message.  It is very important that you do not remove or modify this reference number, or your message may be returned to you.
    Hi Bill,
    Thanks you for your reply.
    Right ok. Well, if you are interested in the LabVIEW workaround, I can send this to place it in your modified sequential model.
    The workaround works as desired. It does it all automatically. I have set it to not prompt the user for the print dialogue but this can be easily changed. Therefore, for any example program in Teststand, if it is based on the modified sequential model, an HTML style report will be printed on the default printer automatically.
    It needs to be placed in the following location:
    Within the Sequential Model, within 'Single Pass>>Print Report' do the following:
    - Replace all the 'Main' steps (Navigate to HTML, Print HTML File & Close IE Browser) with the LabVIEW function call.
    - This one function call will do all the steps above at once.
    NOTE: In the LabVIEW VI, you will need to select the correct directory where the new html files are being created. Otherwise the print function will not work. This is called URL. Make you sure you have checked this.
    For ease of understanding I have included these steps in a word document with screen shots.
    As I do not know which version of LabVIEW you might have, I have attached three versions of the .vi file; 2012, 2011 and 2010.
    In regards to the mention of Teststand not having built in functionality for automatic printing of reports, unfortunately this is the case.
    I hope this will be a sufficient workaround for you.
    If you problems implementing this solution, please ask me for further information. However, it should be fairly simple to do.
    Just to inform you, I will be out of the office from 12.45pm today for the rest of the week on annual leave.
    I will be back in the office on Monday 14th January 2013, should you have any further queries.

    Print HTML file from LabVIEW.zip ‏39 KB

    Hi Bill,
    I managed to implement this.
    In the sequential model I added a LabVIEW action after 'Add Root Tags To XML Report'
    As URL I use a sequence local: Locals.ReportFilePath
    I points to the ML report in my case and then the VI works fine.
    However I'm looking for extra functionality and that is waiting untill printing is completed.
    Can you help me on that ?

  • Good NI Test Stand Examples For a Beginner (Using LabVIEW)

    Hi everyone, I am new to using NI Test Stand.  I have gone through the "Getting Started with NI Test Stand" and "Using LabVIEW with Test Stand" documents.
    I know in the NI Test Stand Example folder there are many examples.  Are there any examples that cater to new users to Test Stand?
    Where can I find good examples (demos) for developing test sequences, local variables, parameters, etc...in Test Stand?
    Thanks so much!

    If you have the SSP you could access online training an do the exercises on the training.
    but the examples is a good way to getting started. just play around with all the options you have.

  • LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

    Hi,
    I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
    We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
    Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ". 
    BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
    Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the response, Brian.
    I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code  -18002 
    RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg  "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
    So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
    comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • How to load dynamically String into a VI using LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 7.0?

    I would like to be able to traduce string into my application using import string method. I create an program with my VI to translate. When I use the import method, I get this error: the VI is locked. WHY ? because it works well in the edit mode but not using LabVIEW Run-time Engine Version 7.0 .

    Hello loup,
    If you call dynamically a VI in your LabVIEW application you must add this VI when you build the .exe file.
    To add this VI, go to the Tab "Source Files" when you build application and click on "Add Dynamic VI..." then chose the VI you call.
    It should solve your problem.
    In the attached file you can found an example of LV program that translate front panel.
    Try to build exe file and add "Languages.vi" as dynamic VI and .txt files as "Support files".
    I test it, it works.
    I hope that this will help you.

  • How can I test IRIG-B'a accuracy using Labview

    We have a GPS source as reference, how can we test second GPS clock with IRIG-B output ?  Can we by using Labview ?

    Most timecode generators work by taking an external input (GPS, IRIG, PPS, or any of a number of other timecodes such as MILA, NASA36, IRIG A, etc) and outputting an on-time signal.
    The most common systems now use a GPS receiver to steer an oscillator to some fixed frequency (10MHz is a favorite) and then use that steered oscillator to generate the outputs.  The one PPS from a GPS receiver is not very smooth and jumps around easily a few hundred nano-seconds every PPS (at least they used to).
    Time codes are usually done by generating an on-time digital signal in which the rising edge of the frame bits is co-incident with the PPS timing.  The digital signal is then sent through some analog magic (op amps and whatever) which delays the output on time.
    In digital signals, the rising edge is considered on time, in analog it is the zero-crossing.
    Good systems will calibrate out the analog delay in the factory by moving back the on-time timing that is fed to the analog so that all on-time marks are co-incident.
