EPOS 50/5 with sensor GP1S53 & labview

hi, I would like to ask help about EPOS 50/5 with sensor GP1S53 & labview. I have motor controller program but i'm require to connect sensor through EPOS device. Operating sensor by using labview, my sensor was connected to Signal 1(J5/2, J5/9 & J5/10) of EPOS but was unsure how use EPOS icons to detect the sensor. Thnx!!

Hi DSBlue,
Unfortunately we are not familiar with the EPOS hardware and library so I don't have the solution. However, there are 2 similar threads that I hope can help you.
How to detect a photomicrosensor in LabView directly?
limit switch program for EPOS
Looks like it might not be possible to display the sensor data value, but you should be able to use your sensor as a limit switch for the motion control.
I would recommend approaching Maxon to see if they can help.

How do you add a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

I recently purchased an IR Sensor from Mindsensors (DIST-Nx-Long-v3) which I need for a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Application) that I am developing using the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms software. I installed the Mindsonsors IR Sensor, and it works under NXT-G and RobotC, but am having trouble finding a way to get LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms to install the sensor.
The Mindsensors website gives the following instructions for installing the IR Sensor:
1.Unzip the folder mindsensors.com LVEE
2.Open a blank vi in LVEE
3.On the Block Diagram Go to Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Set...
Unfortunately, on the Block Diagram of the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms, there is no "Advanced->Edict Palette Set" under Tools.
As an alternative, I consulted the documentation that came with LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms. The Schematic Editor of LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms lists several sensors, i.e. the Lego Mindstorms sensors and several Hi-Teach (HT) sensors, but there are no procedures listed in the documentation for adding other third party sensors to the Functions Palette.
So, how does one go about adding a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

Hi Ethan,
As you can see from my Word document, I am a little light on the proper terminology. That's because LVLM comes with inadequate documentation.
I have already followed your recommended protocol for installing a 3rd party sensor (in fact, its the protocol recommended by Mindsensors) with the application set in the Remote Mode (.lvrbt), and it does create a sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. But when I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor (an IR sensor) doesn't work (even though the Mindsensor's Distance Sensor does work with NXT-G, RobotC and LVLM under other circumstances (see below)).
If I repeat the above process with the application set in the Direct Mode (.vi), I also get the sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. When I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor does work.
What I need for my mapping application is for the Distance Sensor to work in the Remote Mode. I called NI tech support and the first engineer told me to simple drag the Mindsensors Functions (.vi) onto the Block Diagram. I did this, but when I selected the Distance Sensor, the icon appeared, but the sensor did not work. Since I have no idea what's under the hood of the vi or a function, I assumed that simply dragging the vi/function onto the desktop didn't install the vi/function properly. I went back to the Applications Engineer, and he confessed that he did not understand the LVLM product.
My frustration is being punted to new people, none of whom so far (other than you, of course) understand LVLM.

If it's an RS-232 Serial Device - why don't you use a serial port instead? That way you can just read the data using simple serial functions.
If you have to use a digital I/O device - then you will need to convert the signal into digital data (using the timing information of the RS-232 device) and then convert it into the numeric data output by the device. It's not something I've ever tried to do but have a look at the digital waveform functions in LabVIEW as that might help you convert the analogue signal into binary data which you can then convert into a string.

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:

I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

BasicTx and BasicRx daughter boards compatibility with USRP2920 and LabView

I want to know that BasicTx and Basic Rx daughter boards from Ettus research are compatible with USRP2920 and Labview or not.
Also do these boards supports variable gain or not? Please confirm
Thanks
JK
Solved!
Go to Solution.

They will work but you need to use property nodes to configure them. Ther is no LO so ther is no center frequency parameter. I and Q are separate channels so you will need to break them apart and treat them as such. There is no gain because the boards essentially provide access to the ADC.

Timeout error with fieldpoint in Labview 7.0

I'm totally new to Labview and fieldpoint. I have Labview 7.0, with Fieldpoint 5.0 installed with updates for Labview 7 installed only, MAX 4.0. Configured my comms module fp1000 to com 2 on Pc all seems OK, and finds all my I/O modules. Only got 1 channel connected on a fp_rtd_124, and can read a temperature. Randomly I keep getting timeout error when using Labview (simple Vi setup to read temperature) or using MAX and the "Start" icon. Can anyone advise on possible causes.
Also in my playing around today, I was creating my iak file using Fieldpoint Explorer 3.0.2 but since updating to Fieldpoint 5 & MAX 4, it seems to have deleted the Fieldpoint Explorer. Do I need to reinstall explorer or can I use MAX to do all the iak configs.
Finally how do i link my iak file (electrical units) to a scale file in the VI, so I can read engineering units. I see MAX has the scaling function, but where do I link them together.
If I'm approaching this in totally the wrong way, please advise
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Adrian
With regards to your LabVIEW program, would it be possible to send in your code and I will have a quick look at it. With regards to the time out error, do you receive an error code of some sort, this will help me in distinguising what is causing this error.
Within MAX you can now save your iak file configs and then you can point LabVIEW towards the file that you saved. You do not need to install Fieldpoint Explorer.

Dude,
Your way of asking questions sucks!
- Do not use such fonts!
- Try to find things out yourself first (apparently GovBob was able to find info, so could you)
- Have you asked GovBob if he likes it that you mail him for more questions?
You ask for a complete solution on a project YOU have to do. (you dont learn of it if you dont try it yourself first)
Hopefully you will ask questions in a less DEMANDING way next time.
Good luck with your project

MyDAQ, connect sensors with multiplexer in labview

I am quite new to labview so hope someone can help. What I am doing is to use NImyDAQ to connect 8 different sensors and show the output on labview. Since the myDAQ does not have enough input for 8 sensors, so I am using two 8 bits multiplexers to solve it.
Here is the question. How do the circuit draw in the labview which will make it works? I want to make an drop down button to select which sensor is connected and shown, therefore I need to output boolean value (0,1) to the digital input/output? I have try using case structure but seems difficult for me. Is there any example similar to what I am doing?

What you mean by skiping the DAQ Assistant? Can you make a drag and drop diagram for an example? I have no idea how the drop down menu giving out numerical value then goes into the Digital input in NImyDAQ.

How to connect external sensors to labview?

i want to ask How can i connect external sensors to NI labview for my final year project.? here are my lists of sensors:
a. Temperature sensor (LM35)
b. Humidity sensor (HH10D)
c. Light sensor (LDR)
d. Moisture sensor

simply_me wrote:
I've used the NI's bread board (with DAQ assistant initially) when I was in school. We used it for temp, light, and etc... measurements, the whole system is very straight forward. I would say having the option to simulate signals is a big plus in that. From what you described, I don't think the "slower" rate of data acquisition will disturb you at all. But more information is needed on your sensors and general functional spec.
@ NIquist & RTSLVU, please correct me if I'm misleading/wrong :-)
Is that the ELVIS stuff? Very neat but kind of pricey (unless the school is paying! )
Again, the low-cost USB DAQs from NI or MC are the way to go for the OPs project. I am assuming that he has enough electronics background to make simple signal conditioning circuits for his sensor chips.

Can't control color sensor in LabView for Mindstorms

Hello! New here.
I'm trying to bone up on LabView via "LabView for Lego Mindstorms" for a possible job in the near future and I've run into a problem early on.
I'm programming my Lego brick in LabView to simply turn on the color sensor which is easy enough: I build a while loop and inside that I have a color sensor block connected to a text block which displays light intensity from the sensor in text on the brick. I compile and run and the sensor turns on and I can read the constantly updating intensity on the brick. That part works fine. Now I'd like to control the light sensor (which doubles as a light source with color LEDs) on the LV front panel. The book I'm using (LabView for Lego Minstorms) says I need to right click the sensor block on the "generate light" input and choose "Create-->Control" from the resulting menu. A Boolean pushbutton should appear connected to the sensor block in the Block Panel and a push button should appear in the Front Panel. That's not what happens. Two things are different here.
1) I have no "generate light" port to right click on. This is probably due to using a more up to date version of Mindstorms than the book uses. That's a book/Mindstorms issue that probably can't be solved here but hopefully solving the next issue will make this one irrelevant.
2) I right click and create the control, but instead of creating a Boolean push button as the book predicts, it creates a "BrickReference.lvclass" icon. It connects okay with the light sensor and a corresponding block is created in the Front Panel but it is a paper weight as far as I can tell. I can't do anything with it. There is no button to push, no slider, knob, radio button etc. and I can't seem to change it into anything that works in any way. I delete it and create a no kidding Boolean push button from the library but it won't connect to the light sensor and so I can't compile. So now I'm a bit stuck.
I've looked for "Brick Reference" on line in the context of LabView class and have found little or nothing that tells me about its definition or how I can use it to control the light sensor via the Front Panel. The help section with the software isn't much help either and yet I'm sure there must be a way to control a simple Lego light sensor from the Front Panel for debugging and other purposes.
If you know what I'm doing wrong or if you know an end run around this issue that will enable me to control a Mindstorms brick from the Front Panel in this way, please let me know.
Thanks!

How will i link flowmeter sensor and labview

Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum and alson in labview.I have a flowmeter sensor, I made cable connections bewteen the sensor and DAQ(NI-USB 6229) The question is what am i supposed to do to read the data on sensor.I just want to measure read the flowmeter sensor and dont know how to construct the labview diagram.I searched on net and learned that I have to do something with counters to convert square signal to a grapgh.and also I searched some codes about it but there must be an easy way to do this it ooks too complicated.In attachment I am sending the vi file.
Can you please help me because I have limited time..
Thanks in advance.

Why did you attach a VI that writes out an analog output rather than a VI that actually reads in a signal?
What type of signal is the flowmeter putting out?
Did you look in LabVIEW help? There are dozens of examples there for reading different signals using DAQmx.
