First timelabvie​w user wants to control lab instruemen​ts throught gpib??

hey,
I am an undergraduate student in my junior year. I am working in a research group at columbia universtiy for about 4 months.What theve asked me to do is that they have alot of lab instruments that they use..They want me to control them using gpib so that they can use them from labview and automate the testing process they use to test a silicon plasma waveguide they make..i have never used labview before and frankly quite lost..i need help and fast..if someone could point where i should start learning labview for the requirements i have it would be nice.. i downloaded the drivers for the machine but couldnt get them to run they are 3rd party drivers...how would i  install them as well...help is greatly appreciated. i am uploading the drivers for one of the machines i working on..

In fact I would go one step before the talking to the instrument through LabVIEW and that would be trying to talk to it through National Instruments' Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) which you will have to install to have access to the LabVIEW hardware drivers to talk to the GPIB adapter. If you can talk to an instrument through MAX then you will have confirmed correct cabling, addressing, etc., which is nice to know before trying to make software you have written work.

  • Want to control Lab equipment but need direction

    I am looking to use serial communication with a few lab instruments on my Reactor system.
    IKA Eurostar 100C digital overhead stirrer. This unit uses NAMUR commands I am looking to just have a simple slider control speed along with an on off button. I would like to display RPM and Torque information on a Graph over time..
    HUBER UNISTAT405 This is a temp control unit I would like to Read and control the jacket temperature of my reactor on the same graph. This also uses NAMUR commands..
    If I can get something up and running I would add PH functionality, Dosing pump system, and a simple readout for vacuum.
    Any assistance would be appreciated thank you!!
    I am new to the programming world and NI, so this looks like a foreign language to me..
    Thanks everyone!!

    I am just looking to do a simple reliable connection with about 4 to 5 lab devices so I can automate my system..  If there is a simpler solution then I would be very happy doing that... Most instruments have RS-232 or USB... 
    I am really looking to do something plug in play this way the lab techs can use the system with ease..
    can you send me an example of the IKA Eurostar that you configured? 
    If they have RS232 then its best. What next you can do is to read the serial comm for that specific devices. You see different devices have different protocol for serial comm. Once you go through it then your life done. Its a simple job for you(Once you have your hand over LV you will realize). If some devices have USB then you may need USB to serial converter which will convert the USB data to serial becasue you are going to use VISA(LV) for all the communication and USB will be used as virtual COM port.
    Let me know if you have any question
    Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
    I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

    Thanks

    The iMac does not include touch screen capability.
    With an iMac, you can choose between a Magic Mouse or a Magic Trackpad. If you want both, there is an additional cost.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the user’s manager, department and title.
    We can use the GetUserProfileByName operation of the SPServices to achieve it, you can download it in the
    CodePlex.
    You can first retrieve the user of the People Picker control.

    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/80839/unable-to-get-user-name-from-the-people-picker-control-using-jquery
    Then we can retrieve the user’s information using the SPServices.
    I have made a simple code demo to retrieve the user’s manager, department and title as below, you can have a look at it.
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://sp/Shared Documents/jquery.SPServices-2014.01.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // When the body is loaded, the onload event handler executes each function whose name is contained in this array.
    $(function(){
    var managerName;
    var title;
    var department;
    $().SPServices({
    operation: "GetUserProfileByName",
    async: false,
    AccountName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
    completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
    console.log($(xData.responseXML).find("PropertyData").parent().html);
    $(xData.responseXML).find("PropertyData > Name:contains('Manager')").each(function() {
    managerName = $(this).parent().find("Values").text();
    //alert("the manager is"+managerName);
    $(xData.responseXML).find("PropertyData > Name:contains('Title'):eq(0)").each(function() {
    title = $(this).parent().find("Values").text();
    //alert("the Title is"+title);
    $(xData.responseXML).find("PropertyData > Name:contains('Department')").each(function() {
    department = $(this).parent().find("Values").text();
    //alert("the Department is"+department);
    var obj1=managerName+title+department;
    $("#Test").text(obj1);
    </script>
    <span id="Test"></span>

  • F110-Enhancement: User want to reran the same proposal after delete

    Hi guys
    It would be great if ane one having answers.
    User want to rerun the same proposal  when he likes to update the exchage rate after the payment proposal made   .For this, he will delete the proposal and reran the same proposal.
    This is for only Customers and not for Vendors as F110 itself taking care of vendors.
    Here the requirment is when he reran the same proposal he checks  new proposal documents with the documents  existed in ZTABLE earlier(needs to be crated z table for entries RUN DATE,IDENTIFICATIN,ALL DOCUMENTS belongs to each proposal ). if all documents are same then no issue ..payment ran takes place and then delete those documents from ZTABLE.if not same, for those documents payment should  be blocked(
    i.e any new  documents created  first propal and reran  proposal  those new documents shold be blocked) and then delete those documents from ZTABLE too.
    I found one BADI:   FI_F110_SCHEDULE_JOB which is triggering before proposal made.
    its having one structure  F110V having only contains one vendor(lower limit of vendors) and only one customer ( lower limit of customers) so here i could not get all the vendors and all customers but i can get all open doucments from table BSID and BSIK .
    it can be used to some extent but anyway useless.
    BTE: 1860.
    this can be used but user has to click the line item of the proposal run.if suppose there are more documents , it is also useless.
    Another BTE:2040,2060
    I can use these BTEs to delete those documents stoed in ZTABLE after payment made.
    kindly suggest me if anybody have any idea on this enhancement.
    Thanks
    Babu

  • In FBL5N report user wants the sales document number to be displayed,

    HI, Guys
    Need ur help to sort out the problem
    In FBL5N report user wants the sales document number to be displayed,
    but the sales ducument number column is coming blank and this needs to pick from VBRP table
    As I discussed with Abaper, he reqiures a key field which common in BSEG abd VBRP table
    So,Please guide me in approaching the right way
    Munender

    Hi,
        Speak with your SD consultant. They can set up the copy control in SD so that the sales order is populated in the invoice in field ZUONR (Assignment).This will then copy to the assignment field in accounting.
    Alternatively you can use an exit to populate another field during the Posting.
    Kind regards

  • First time iPhone user. How to sync?

    Finally gave in to purchasing an iPhone. So my first order of business is syncing stuff that I've downloaded to my phone. I've had my friend download some contents to it prior to this. So here are my questions:
    1. Will syncing erase the contents of my phone?
    2. Can I sync just certain type of contents that I want and not everything that's loaded on my iTunes?

  • Error when other user want to change list item with rejected status

    Hi All,
    I have list with Content Approval option.
    One of users edits one of the items, which are being rejected. After that, other user wants to edit same item. Second user doesn't see rejected changes from other users, he changes some field in this item and want to save changes.
    Unfortunately, SP shows error and doesn't save changes. Content Approval is still Rejected.
    Why SP doesn't allow other users to change this item ?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that second user get an error and can’t save changes when one user and the second user are editing the same item in a list at the same time.
    I do this test in my environment, and the result is the same as you get.
    In SharePoint, the system enables you and your colleagues to view the same item in a list at the same time.  
    However, it’s by design that the system can’t allow both you and your colleagues to save the their corresponding changes when they are editing the same item in a list at the same time whether this list enable the Content Approval option, the Content Approval
    status of the current item or not.
    If one user first click on the “Save” button to save the modified item, he can save the changes back, and all the late users will get the error and can’t save their modified item when they click on the “Save” button.

  • Why don't first-gen iPad users deserve Multitasking Gestures???!!!

    Apple,
    As one of the early adopters of iPad, I feel betrayed that I am left out on such an important feature of Multitasking Gestures in the new iOS 5 update!!!
    Why???? What's the good reason for denying us the convenience of this feature? If for any reason the gestures might slow down iPad1 due to its inferior hardware capabilities, couldn't you trust the users to turn it off instead of taking that out of our hands completely?
    It's impossible for you not to understand that iPad users want and like the gestures. And there is no excuse for not providing it to all iPad users.
    Huge disappointment!!!!
    -C

    I Suppose you are right in that sense, but what they can control the 6 plus' signature on the App Store and giving it access to the iPad version of applications.
    Also the gestures and button functions of iOS are controlled by Apple...
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I've grown to love the 6 Plus, I just wish I could make more use of its bigger size...

    I'am a first time mac user, can any explain to me how to transfer file i.e. iTunes ,pictures, other files.

    Select a file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired destination.
    If you need help with the basics of OS X you can:
    Select Mac Help (or Help Center) from the Finder's Help menu and enter a search keyword. For your question you might search for "copy," "file copy," or "drag and drop" for example.
    See Apple - Support - Mac 101
    Visit the Apple website where you will find additional information and tutorials on how to use OS X.

  • Want total control over the size of a button

    What do I do if I want to control the size of a button completely and not let something else do it for me automatically? What layoutmanagers allow me to completely control the size and which do not?

    For total control over the button size, call container.setLayoutManager(null). This, however, disables all automatic layout; not only will you have control over the size of your button, you'll have control over its position and the size and position of all other components in that container. You'll also have the responsibility to set them.
    While this is desirable in some circumstances, you normally want to use a LayoutManager. These managers allow your code to be modified with greater ease and handle a lot of the work for you.
    You can always call jbutton.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(x,y));[b] to attempt to communicate to the LayoutManager the size that you would like the button to be. [b]jbutton.setMinimumSize and jbutton.setMaximumSize are also useful. (These calls assume the existence of a field jbutton which contains an instance of the class JButton.)
    These, however, only work if the LayoutManager honors your requests; it is quite possible for a LayoutManager to ignore your sizing requests on the objects it is laying out. Most of the managers that Sun provides respect the requests their users make, but many third-party LayoutManagers aren't capable of doing so for one reason or another.
    Yet another solution is to write your own LayoutManager. The interface is relatively simple. I personally have been working on a project in which a workspace allows users to move components around. Because of this, the component has to stay where the user put it, although its size should be adjusted according to its needs. I had to write my own LayoutManager for this because none of those that Sun provided properly suited my needs.
    Which way would you like to tackle this?

  • Capture a user's mouse control over the player

    There is video streaming using RTP to the QuickTime viewer in a web page
    The major issue is that the z-index of the player seems to be infinite, not allowing mouse events to be captured over the top of the player
    Is there anyway to get around this? I'd like to use javascript to *capture a user's mouse control over the player if possible.*

    mgulesian, you might want to query the system properties.
    System.getProperty("user.name")Please note that this property is subject of security constraints (and there're good reasons for this, read the Java Tutorial, Trail: Essential Java Classes, Lesson: Accessing System Resources for details). For example, web applications running inside Tomcat are not allowed to query this property by default. Think twice before doing this, you have been warned!
