Expert LabVIEW code evaluation?

Does anyone know of a place (or person) that will do LabVIEW code evaluation? - To look at the actual block diagrams and give advice? I realize that's what we do here to a large extent, but I'm referring to an email exchange of info regarding a fairly large, completed and running program.

I don't think the training sessions had anything to do with the Alliance Member's failure. The Alliance Member failed because they lacked the expertise in vision systems to complete your application. Perhaps that fact was compounded by poor time management as well. I find that a good approach is to bring in the Alliance Member / consultant for a limited period, say 2 or 3 days. You let them attack part of your application or problem and from that you can gage their level of competency. If they are no good, then you've only spent a few k$ and probably learned a few tricks. There are lots of us out there. You are sure to find one that can meet your needs.
I'm obviously biased, but I have had the unfortunate experience of looki
ng at code / work-product left behind at customers of other Alliance Members. Most of the time I don't like what I see. Unfortunately, NI inside sales and the NI field sales force are not in general equipped to judge software expertise. The relatively new Certification program helps immensely, so look for the CLD (Certified LabVIEW Developer) credential. The higher-level CLA (Architect) may become a good benchmark too, but you're likely to pay a bit of a premium (rightfully so).
Alliance Members can be very helpful and we produce brilliant solutions on a daily basis. Like I always say, we do this stuff every day. There's just no substitute for that. Give us a chance (or two) to prove how useful we can be and to show you the full potential of LabVIEW.

How to use LabVIEW code in a Thesis?

Hello,
If I write some code, for example, in MATLAB or C++, that I want to include in my thesis as part of a discussion or in the Appendix, it's a fairly straightforward process: copy/paste
However, this isn't really an option for LabVIEW code. Even a screen cap wouldn't work very well - especially for situations with case structures or nested SubVIs.
I was wondering if anybody has any thoughts as to a good way to show / convey some of the work done in LabVIEW in a situation like this?

A former co worker of mine had a 50 page thesis, with 30 pages of print screen source code. In my opinion LabVIEW source shouldn't be in a thesis, and for that reason I didn't have any in mine.

Start LabVIEW in evaluation mode

Hello All,
I am building an NI Dev Suite unattended/silent install which includes LabVIEW 2013, TestStand 2013, Switch Exec, some reuse libraries etc.
The installer works fine. After an automatic restart, I need to apply a configuration (automatically) using VI Package Manager and this requires LabVIEW to be working without prompts for licences etc.
Anyone know of a way to start LabVIEW in evaluation mode by default. Any ini tokens / registry entries may be?
I also need the same thing to happen with TestStand as I need to install some configuration to TestStand too.
All of the software will then be licensed by the user afterwards. I would like to avoid building two installers if I can help it.
thanks in advance.

Looking help for developing labview code [Urgent]

Hi,
I need help in developing labview code. I am new to labview and will appreciate if someone can help me in this matter. I need to control the intensity of AC load (halogen lamp with 2kW,230V,50Hz) using Labview and Arduino. But my project using interrupt in Arduino, so it is not possible to use Labview Interface For Arduino(LIFA). I searched and it might be possible to use VISA serial in this matter. Attached is the circuit and the code of Arduino. Someone who is expert in this matter can help me?
The concept of my project is almost same with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeVJ5bs6E8M&feature=youtu.be

Intel Galileo board - is it possible to run LabView code

Hello,
can anybody tell me, if it is possible to run Labview code on Intel Galileo board (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/galileo-maker-quark-board.html) ?
This board is Arduino "compatible", but runs x86 architecture and Linux. So it is possible tu run LabView Linux runtime on this board (and LabView code)? If answer is yes, can anybody provide howto?
I'm not interested in LINX (https://www.labviewhacker.com/doku.php?id=libraries:linx:linx) which just access the Arduino board. It is just "comunication API" allowing to access arduino board but not to develop a code arduino can run.
It would be great if there will be possibility to develop all code in for Arduino board in LabView (even with some limitations).
Thank you for any answers
Pepin

Hooovahh: The Intel Galileo board is like the Pi and BeagleBone Black boards.
They run a "full" Linux. They can run normal compiled linux programs.
The Intel board is just a little smaller than the Pi/BBB, with "only" 400Mhz processor, but then it is a x86 processor and not a ARM like the two other boards.
But I don't think that LabVIEW have any run-time enginen for this board.
If that is the case then what is wrong with loading up the Linux Run-Time for x86 processors that NI has? I have no idea what the process would be to bring over the installer or executable but if what you are saying is true then it seems more likely that it could work.

How to integrate RFSG driver with sampling theorem labview code

hi all,
I got the labview code of sampling theorem from labview-> find examples. How can I integrate this code with PXI system? How can I integrate the RFSG driver with labview code?

Hi Nieman,
LabVIEW 2014 should be compatible with the 9068 and the cRIO 2.1 drivers. I verified it should work as expected earlier today. Please make sure you are using the example cRIO PN-IO Device when you are moving the module over to the new target. If you are already accessing that, please navigate to this folder:
<Program Files>\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\Targets\NI\FPGA\cRIO\other
Please let me know if you see a CS_cRIO-PNAD folder. This folder provides all the files necessary to discover and use the module in the project. If we do not have that folder there, we will be unable to locate the module. If that is indeed the case, then it may be the driver did not install correctly.
If after finding this folder and it is still not working, please send me screenshots of the error that you are seeing and a MAX Technical Report. Thanks!

I am trying to have some LabVIEW code called in a New thread exit when the testStand sequence terminates

I have a Sequence that launches a sequence in a New Thread that happens to launch some LabVIEW code. The problem is when the LabVIEW code finishes, it will not close even when the TestStand sequence terminates. Is there a way to tell this LabVIEW code to Exit, I've tried the Quit LabVIEW function, but that causes a C++ RunTime Error. The LabVIEW code does end though, and it is set in the VI properties to:
Checked - Show Front Panel When Called
Checked - Close Afterwardds if originally closed
The sequence call that the LabVIEW code is launched from has the following options:
- New Thread
Unchecked - Automatically wait for the thread to complete at the end of the current sequence
Unchecked - Initially Suspended
Unchecked - Use single threaded apartment
Any clues on this would be appreciated.

Hi ADL,
Everything should close correctly if you check the checkbox "Automatically wait for the thread to complete at the end of the current sequence" in the thread settings.
With it unchecked, I am seeing the behavior you are.

How can i convert .gif/.bmp/.jpeg file to labview code(vi)?

Hi,
I am having a .gif file which consists of vi code. I want to convert that .gif file into vi & complile it. I am using LV 6.1 & 7 express. Is is possible?
Reverse is surely possible like we can convert the vi diagram into .gif/.bmp file? But above i dont know?
Your help will really appreciated.
Best Regards,
Nirmal

If I understand your desire, it's to be able to convert a graphical image (bit map or screen photo, for example) into a functional block of LabView code, with all of the wire work done, etc. This is a task approximately equivalent to performing optical character recognition.
In the case of a non-system subvi, unless that subvi is loaded, so that it's graphical representation can be recognized by comparing the bit-map image for the subvi on the photo with the available vi's.
Another difficult problem to solve is when the bit-map has been scaled up or down, such that there's a pixel count mismatch between the VI iconic bitmap and the photographic bitmap you wish to import into your code diagram.
And if you try to do recognition on objects that have h
ad their RGB color representations changed, as can happen when JPG compression or other compression forms are used that reduce to total number of colors saved, that challenges the object recognition further.
Also, what you're interested in having is only of value to Labview programmers, so there's not a very large market for such a tool to be sold to - unlike bitmaps of scanned text to ASCII or wordprocessor applications - traditional OCR software.
All this ins't to say it can't be done, but that it's difficult, and for the person or company that undertakes it, the sales potential is limited.

GPIB: I am having some problem in running Labview code properly.

Hello,
I have written a labview code to drvie my stepper motor (using GPIB function). This code is supposed to move
the stepper motors and keep updating the current position of motors. I am having an unique problem. This code runs fine for trial no.1st, 3rd, 5th and so on. While it fails to update for trial no 2nd , 4th, 6th and so on.
The main code is "motion_update_Final_Newport.vi". It will work for labview 7 as well as 7.1.
You may not be able to run this code. However, you may be able to understand my error easily as I have figured out where is the error. The update is based on a function, which returns (string) 0 for motion not done and 1 for motion done. This value is diaplayed in "output 1" and works fine. However, "check 2" which is an indicator does not work for trial no 2nd , 4th, 6th and so on.
If you go where I have "output 1", there is a while loop and "check 2" is an indicator for check. It remains on for trial no 2nd , 4th, 6th and so on.
I am attaching the code and this is for ESP 300 motion controller Newport co. I am certain that some of you would be able to figure out the error without running the code.
Thanx in advance,

modified_Motion_Update_Final_7.zip ‏228 KB

Thanks a lot for trying to help me.
I am sure that I am not moving any subvi.
Steps that I am trying to accomplish:
(i) I am moving the stepper motors for a relative distance.
(ii) Then I am trying to get the motor position after delay (ms) [defined in front panel].
Now, how I am trying to accomplish:
First outer stacked sequence:
seq 0 of outer: This sets GPIB as controller in command (without this I was having trouble when I was combining this with photodiode code). Please avoid this seq.
seq 1 of outer: The motor moves to certain relative distance. (I do not think that there is anything wrong here).
seq 2 of sequence: This part does updates the motor coordinate after delay (ms). Inside this, there is a case structure to choose whether I want the update.
If I want the update, then following steps take place inside the case structure:
Inner stacked sequence:
seq 0 of inner: [This is where I think that error is taking place] Inside this, There is a while loop which terminates when the "Motion Done?"
function returns "1", else "0". Inside the flat sequence structure, first sequence "updates" the motor coordinate while second check
whether the motion is done .
Seq 1 of inner: Controller wait till motor stops.
seq 2 of inner: The motor coordnate is updated for the last time.
seq 3 of outer: It clears the GPIB.Message Edited by Dushyant on 04-19-2005 10:22 PM

What's the maximum digital I/O frequency for the NI LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Kit ?

Hi!
I'm trying to analyze some sort of sine signal at the frequency of about 3 MHz. Because the analysis should be very precise and fast (about 10 samples per period), I'm needing the maximum digital I/O frequency of the NI LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Kit.
Regards,
Erik

Dracyon,
Can you please clarify a couple of things: you say you are trying to acquire a sine wave that has a frequency of 3 MHz, but you are asking for the maximum DIO frequency. I believe what you need to know is the maximum analog sampling frequency. For the sbRIO-9636 (part of the evaluation kit), the maximum aggregate sampling frequency is 200 kS/s at 16 bits of resolution. At 10 samples per period, you could sample a ~20k analog signal. If you are actually looking for maximum DIO frequency, this is a bit more complicated. We have a good whitepaper explaining this.

How to send data to labview code at run time while using with (or executing the sequence)the teststand

Hello
I am new to the Teststand.
I am using labview8.0 with teststand 3.1
I have developed some labview codemodules as vi's without using the teststand utility library pallete
Now i have to run them in teststand.
While executing them(as a sequence) in teststand,i need to enter the data to the labview code at run time.For this labview front panel should appear as GUI or popup (while executing).Is it possible to do this without using teststand pallete.
or i need to change the code with teststand pallete(i think it is difficult now to change the code)
Plz provide a solution to this problem
Also one more,how and where to use the 'pass by reference' option
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
see your other post http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=13914
Also, you can, specify to display the front panel of your VI when you specify your VI in your sequence file.
There are examples, for dialog panel using LabVIEW, in the examples folder of TestStand and on the NI Web Site.

NI Motion Assistant LabVIEW Code Generation Error

Hello, the following is my current setup:
NI PCI-7334 motion control board
NI UMI 7774 splitter board
3 x NI P70530 Drives
3 x NI CTP12ELF10MAA00 Stepper Motors
3 x Power supply units for drives
LabVIEW 2010
NI Motion Assistant 2.6
Motion and Automation Explorer 4.7
I have built a three axis motion system that I am trying to configure with labview. After verifying that everything was set up correctly, I opened MAX, updated the firmware to my motion control board, and intitialized the controller. Since then, I have created many basic programs using the Motion Assistant Software to test the movement of my device. Everything works fine while using the Motion Assistant software (I have three axis movement, multidirectional control, and can perform various straight line and arc moves). My problems begin when I try to use the code generation feature.
When trying to use the code generation feature to output a labview diagram, I run into a problem where a dialog box pops up and says "Find the vi named ...."
Some examples of the names that come up are: Configure Vector Space.flx, Vector Space To Control.flx, Motion Error Handler.flx.
To be clear the program in Motion Assistant that I am trying to export to LabVIEW code is composed of two individual steps. One that tells X,Y, and Z motors to move forward 25 revolutions, and one step that tells them to move backwards 25 revolutions.
I have made many other programs in Motion Assistant that run fine, but I always receive similar errors when trying to use the code generation feature to export to LabVIEW. Is there something that I can do to solve my problem?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Joe,
I am using Ni-Motion Assistant 2.6, Ni-Motion 8.1, and Motion and Automated Explorer version 4.7.
The code I posted is supposed to tell Axis 1 to move 40 revolutions at 400 rpm. It works fine in Ni-Motion Assistant but when I try to generate a LabVIEW diagram I receive the following error, "Find the VI named 'Motion Error Handler.flx'". I have had it search my directory, as well as the disk that I installed both LabVIEW and Ni-Motion but no luck. Thanks for your help.

Is there a tool to clean a directory structure of unused LabVIEW code?

I could write this from scratch as follows:
Load all of my LabVIEW code including dynamically-called VIs into memory, then list all these VIs.
List all VIs in the directory structure I want to clean.
For each VI in the directory structure that's not in memory, delete it. If this leaves that VI's parent directory empty, delete that parent directory.
There is probably already a tool or VI that does this, but I can't find it. Does such a thing exist?

bmihura,
I to have had the need/desire to do this. At my previous employer I wrote a tool that assisted with that function. Unfortunately I no longer have access to that tool. If you have a very big program you may have memory and speed related issues when you load "all the VI's into memory".
Good Luck

There is no feature in LabVIEW to export your VIs as VHDL files. You are able to include your own HDL in your LabVIEW VI (using the HDL node).
