Enterprise connectivity toolkit and LabVIEW 8

Hi All,
Does anyone know whether the Enterprise Connectivity Toolkit is available for LabVIEW 8.0? Trying to put together a proposal and I'm not sure, looking at the web site. It is sometimes difficult doing business at one of these inflection points when the new version of LabVIEW is shipping (and all that my end users can purchase) but all the nifty tools for it aren't available yet.
Thanks all,
P.M.

Thanks for the information. Thats why I was all cranky about not getting my CD's until recently (last weekend). I hadn't had a chance to look at them and am out of my office at the moment. Guess I'll look at them this evening. What is envolved with getting/doing the update?

Labwindows/CVI 7.1 Remote user Interface using Enterprise Connectivity Toolkit

I have an application programmed in Labwindows/CVI 7.1 controlling an Electromagnetic Instrument.
Now am interested in extending its usability by adding remote user interface.The goal is to have the application available to be accessed
to remote users through website,with multiple users viewing it but one user controlling the instrument remotely at any given point.
Since the possible methods would be 1.ActiveX 2.TCP/IP 3.DLL
Which is the best technique to implement this with out having to manipulate much of my code also do we have any documentation available ?
Thank you
Solved!

Hi Mutha,
This functionality was a part of the orignal Internet Toolkit for CVI. However, the web server part of this was removed and isn't included in the Enterprise Connectivity Toolkit. You might consider using LabVIEW with the Remote Front Panel feature.
Cheers,

Can we connect Multisim and LabVIEW?

Hi frndz
I want some info. please tell me is there any such facility in LabVIEW2011 that i can use circuit from Multisim as a simple camponant in LabVIEW???
take 1 example :
suppose i m doing HOME AUTOMATION project. in that i have my own temp. sensor circuit , light detector circuit. i made these circuits in Multisim.
now i want to use that circuit as a single block in LabVIEW???
can we connect Multisim and LabVIEW?

Hi,
I believe what you are looking for is Multisim connectivity toolkit.

Labview Database Connection Toolkit and decimal point

Hi,
on my system I use "," (comma) as decimal point.
In Labview Options I unflagged "Use localized decimal point", and numeric controls and indicators use "." (dot) as decimal point.
The problem is that Labview Database Connection Toolkit keeps returning floating point numbers as strings with comma as decimal point.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Is this related to Labview or MySQL ODBC Connector (that I'm using to connect to a mySQL DB)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Marco

You have two or three places to look. First there is the DCT. Second, there's a couple layers there that could cause problems (the mySQL drivers and ADO) and then there's even the posibility that the issue could be in the DBMS itself.
I would start by burrowing down through all the DCT layers and find the spot where the results are actually being read back fromt he database. If the resutls are read as variants and converted to LV datatypes, the problem is on the LV side. If the values are being read as strings and converted, the problem coiuld be on the other side.

Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
Any ideas ?

Report Generation Toolkit and Labview 8 ?

I currently have Labview 7.1 on my computer, and Labview 8. I have installed the Report generation Toolkit 1.1.1, but when I try to open several of the excel and word vi's in labview 8, I get the error that "constants wired to case structures were changed to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with labview 7.1 and earlier". And therefore the subvi's don't run. Labview 7.1 doesn't have the toolkit installed, and I've even tried uninstalling 7.1 but nothing works. How do I fix this? Relinking to subvi hasn't work because it is not offered on any of the errored vi's or subvi's. The broken wires are going into invoke node vi's, but I don't know how to fix them. It doesn't allow me to rewire them.

If you dont want to use it in LabView 7.1, Just make a mass compile with LabView8.0 on the directory of you package.
It could solve a lots of that kind of problem.
Be sure that you do net need it with your previous version.

Why do I get a class conflict between the Prepare SQL.vi and the Get Column Name.vi with the SQL Toolkit compatibility vis from the Database Connectivity Toolkit?

I have done extensive programming with the SQL Toolkit with LabVIEW versions through 6.1. My customer now wants to upgrade to Windows 7, so I am trying to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009 (my latest purchased version) using the Database Connectivity Toolkit, and the SQL Toolkit Compatibility vis. Everything seemed to be going okay with the higher level SQL operations, but I ran into trouble with the Get Column Name.vi.
The pictures below show the problem. The original SQL Toolkit connected the Prepare SQL.vi with the Get Column Name.vi with a cluster of two references, one for connection, and one for sql. The new compatibility vis have a class conflict in the wire because the Prepare SQL.vi contains a cluster with connection, and command references, but the Get Column Name.vi expects a cluster with connection and recordset references.
How do I resolve this conflict?
Thank You.
Dan

I've never worked with the old version of the toolkit, so I don't know how it did things, but looking inside the SQL prep VI, it only generates a command, and the the column name VI wants a recordset. I'm not super familiar with all the internals of ADO, but my understanding is that is standard - you only have the columns after you execute the command and get the recordset back. What you can apparently do here is insert the Execute Prepared SQL VI in the middle and that will return what you need.
I'm not sure why it worked before. Maybe the execute was hidden inside the prep VI or maybe you can get the column names out of the command object before execution. In general, I would recommend considering switching to the newer VIs.
Try to take over the world!

Database connectivity toolkit problem with WINDOWS VISTA and Microsoft jet 4.0 provider

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a problem with Database connectivity toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 provider (MS ACCESS mdb database).
I was able to get my application to work properly on my PC: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 3 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9511.0 (Windows XP SP3 and Security Bullettin MS08-028).
The same connectivity toolkit seems to have problems (although I didn't get any error dialog) on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE, SERVICE PACK 2 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9755.0.
Does anyone have an idea whether it is a sort of compatibility issue or a different thing?
Would it be possible to include my DLLs into the installer in such a way LabVIEW application calls those DLLs instead of the ones it finds on the host PC?
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion or advice very welcome and appreciated.

I ran into this with Windows7 64 but, could not get the jet 4.0 to work. Endnd up dumping access and used sql server express, its free, and all my code worked fine, just used a different UDL to connect. I wasted lots of time trying to find a way of getting the jet4.0 to work with 64bit windows.

SPC Toolkit for LabVIEW - where is it in the labview (8.5) developer suite?

I started using SPC toolkit for a project in Labview 8.2.1, had no problem until I upgraded my system to labview 8.5. It said something like:
Some subvis are too old to be converted to 8.5.
I went to the Labview Developer suite CD album (labview 8.5), and couldn't find the SPC for LabVIEW, only for LabWindows / CVI. Then I went to NI's website and tried to find more about the toolkit, it seems this one had disappeared into thin air, along with the Enterprise connectivity toolkit (or Enterprice toolkit).
Does anybody know if NI stopped developing / supporting the SPC toolkit? Or if NI included it into other toolkit or product?
Thanks,
-Joe

Hi
sorry for a silly question, but I tried to locate the LabVIEW DSC Module 8.5 in my Professional development environment and I cannot find it.
Would you please tell me which disk is it on?

Database and labview 8.5

I am looking to do some database code for an application in labview 8.5 and windows XP (maybe vista as well). I havent done much database with labview in a few years and am looking for any pitfalls to avoide. I need do choose the right DBMS access, mySql ..... and also know if there are know issues og the database toolkit. Has anyone had any problems or suscess using 8.5 and databasing. I will be writing moderate amounts of data to the data base, I will be updating fields several times per minute and the system will run mostly continous 24/7

Hi Paul,
You should be able to use the Database Connectivity Toolkit with LabVIEW 8.5 just fine. There is a list of supported databases here so you should be able to select the database you want.

MSI error while installing database connectivity toolkit

Hi!
We are facing problems while trying to install the database connectivity toolkit (comes as subpart of the enterprise connectivity toolkit).
The behaviour is odd. Some months back it used to install OK. Now, it fails during installation. Pls see attached .zip file that shows image of the error messages.
Pointers:
1) The MSI error message has increasing numbering. First attempt to install gives mesages MSI4, next might be MSI8 and so on.
2) It used to install perfectly until few months back
3) We have tried to inatll it on freshly formatted computers having LV 6.1 and LV 7.1 runtimes.
4) OS is Win2000 with SP4
5) Few days ago it installed fine on a PC on which it had not installed for many months!
6) We have tried for all the CDs/backups where we had this software. It still fails.
7) All our other toolkits - Internet, SPC, Sound&Vibration, SMT continue to install flawlessly.
We are unable to see any pattern or reason for this installation failure and would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Gurdas

Hello Kileen,
1. If you’re installing from the CD, sometimes the installer has a hard time grabbing the files from the CD. Try copying the installation CD contents over to a temporary folder on the computer and run the installer again.
> We tried this. Problem continues.
2. Try changing permission settings in your registry:
KB 38TFAUZH: Why Do I Get Error 1722 When Installing the Driver CD with Windows XP?
> My system is Win2000 and I am unable to reach the settings mentioned in above link (which is for WinXP)
3. Turn off all virus scanners. Rerun the installation.
>We tried this. Problem continues.
Hope to see a way out.

Python and LabVIEW

Has anyone connected Python and LabVIEW?
I would like to use Python as a scripting language with LabVIEW for the task
that may be done simplier in Python.
I have some ideas about connecting via TCP/IP. But may be someone has
already done this?
Regards,
---Dmitry.

I have called Python scripts from LabVIEW using system exec. The attached VI has the ability to pass arguments. Data is returned from Python as print statements and then parsed.

LabView 5.1 and Database Connectivity Toolkit Compatibility?

I am looking to serve some data from a LabView 5.1 application up to an Oracle 8i database. I have looked at the current Database Connectivity Toolkit (which uses ADO technology), but am not sure if this will be compatible with LabView 5.1... is it? If not, what are my alternatives? Are older versions of this toolkit available?
Thanks!

Also, could someone touch on how forward compatible LabView applications are? In this scenario, I have the same 5.1 application which now requires some database connectivity. Since the SQL Toolkit is no longer supported, I would be left with upgrading LabView to 7.0 and using the Database Connectivity Toolkit. How well (in general) do earlier LabView applications convert to newer versions?
Thanks again!

I am using the database connectivity toolkit to retrieve data using a SQL query. The database has 1 million records, I am retrieving 4000 records from the database and the results are taking too long to get, is there any way of speeding it up?

I am using the "fetch all" vi to do this, but it is retrieving one record at a time, (if you examine the block diagram) How can i retrieve all records in a faster more efficient manner?

If this isn't faster than your previous method, then I think you found the wrong example. If you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit installed, then go to the LabVIEW Help menu and select "Find Examples". It defaults to searching for tasks, so open the "Communicating with External Applications" and "Databases" and open the Read All Data. The List Column names just gives the correct header to the resulting table and is a fast operation. That's not what you are supposed to be looking at ... it's the DBTools Select All Data subVI that is the important one. If you open it and look at its diagram, you'll see that it uses a completely different set of ADO methods and properties to retrieve all the data.

LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit Parameterized Query Property Wildcard

Hi,
within my LabVIEW application I successfully implemented a SQL statement
like
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE property 1 = 123
AND property2 = "abc"
with help of the Database Connectivity Toolkit. I first created a parameterized
query, then set each parameter and afterwards executed this query.
But now I want to use wildcards within this statement. Does anybody know
how to use wildcards with both integer properties and string properties?
Is this possible while using the normal parameterized query vi?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Michael

Hi Michael
You can use "LIKE":
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE property 1 LIKE '12%'
% represents multiple characters (e.g. entries with property 1 123 but also 1240 would be selected)
_ represents one character
Hope this helps.
