FLIR sc655 and ThermoVision Labview Toolkit

Hello,
I am having trouble with the FLIR Labview toolkit. I cannot seem to get even thier basic examples to work. I have Windows 7, Labview 11, Thermovision toolkit 3.3.7 (latest version on FLIR website). The error occurs in "ThermoVision open.vi". the error code is -1 which labview says is unknown. Looking deeper the error appears to occur in the sub-vi "ThermoVision CreateActiveXRefnum.vi".
As far as the camera itself I am connected through GigE port. I see the IP address just fine in IP config and I can acquire images in both IR monitor and NI MAX just fine. Something is going wrong it seems wit hte active X control through labview. The ThermoVision SDK runtime is installed which has the active X program so I have no clue what is going on or why I cannot use the FLIR tools to connect to the camera.
Has anyone had thier problem and/or have any insight as to what is wrong?
Thanks

Greetings;
While I have not used the ThermoVision toolkit, I have taken a quick look at their manual and have a few questions; would you happen to know if the toolkit's version is compatible with that version of LabVIEW? In addition, is there any order requirement for the installation as well as any driver that is required other than Vision Acquisition?
I have done a bit of research and come across a few topics in our forum that also deal with this particular toolkit; the last link has been particularly longstanding and a user seems to have worked with it extensively:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/FLIR-A320-infrared-camera-Labview-Developer-Kit-feedback/td-p...
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/How-to-build-an-application-in-LabVIEW-10-including-FLIR/td-p...
Ultimately, since NI-MAX works correctly, would it be possible to test the camera in LabVIEW without using the toolkit's VIs? The camera seems to be fully GigE Compliant which means that you should be able to reach it with IMAQdx VIs. If the camera does indeed work in LabVIEW correctly, it might be worhtwhile to reach to the developpers of the Toolkit to see if they have any insight on the matter.
Cordially;

ThermoVision LabVIEW toolkit connection to Flir Exx Series

Hi,
I am trying to use the ThermoVision LabVIEW Toolkit together with a Flir Exx series camera as part of a closed loop temperature control system, however, there does not seem to be much in terms of tutorials on the toolkit. I am looking to acquire the image from the camera, convert from raw pixels to temperature and using a PID controller change the output of the heater to correct the temperature on the target surface. I was wandering if I could get some guidance on this subject or be pointed in the right direction.
Kind Regards.

Hi Alexisdera,
Have you looked at the User's Manual (http://support.flir.com/DocDownload/Assets/48/English/T559015$a506.pdf)? When you install the toolkit, the examples it describes should be installed to your computer.
If you've already seen this and it doesn't answer your questions I would recommend contacting Flir to ask for assistance, since this is a 3rd party product that NI does not directly support.

Fixing a NXT LabVIEW Toolkit compile/load problem

I bought myself a Lego NXT Mindstorms to play with. I'm using the LabVIEW 8.5.1 from the FIRST Robotics competition and I downloaded the NXT Toolkit for Labview.
I did a mass compile on the toolkit (like the getting started said to) and did the excersize. I get the following error:
Error 1003 occured at Invoke node in NXT Toolkit.CompileOrCancel.vi->NXTToolkit.Target.Agent.vi
Possible Reasons:
LabVIEW: The VI is not executable... It said to do a file->open.
Method Name: Run VI
VI Path: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\addons\NXTToolkit\gcomplier\Backend.LEGO\NXT.Compiler.Core.vi
The vi was broken but it had a password to open the view so I couldn't tell what was going on.
What do I do to fix this?
Thanks

Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Any ideas?
Scientia est potentia!

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).

I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

PID and Fuzzy Logic Toolkit for students

As the thread title states. I am a student running on the student version of labview. I have a project I am working on that would greatly be benifitted by the PID and Fuzzy Logic Toolkit. Is there a way for students to get this without the $1000 price tag?
Solved!

Why PI Acton Labview toolkit is not free but C++ SDK is free

Now i am using PI Acton Spectrapro 2300i.
and want to develop our software to control the system
but the company told us the C++ SDK is free
but the labview Toolkit is not free.
Why ,for i have owned the dlls about the system ,if i can call the dlls in the labview.So the labview should be also free.
Are three some problems when calling C++ in Labview,or need some driver when using Labview??
Thanks very much

You should ask the supplier about why they charge for the LabVIEW toolkit
and not for the C++ SDK.
Calling C++ dlls is not easy from LabVIEW, unless the functions are exported
as c functions. The C++ naming convention is something LabVIEW cannot
understand. A C++ dll doesn't automatically mean it uses a C++ naming
convention, so you'll have to check. Open the dll in a call library node and
see if the names you'd expect are there. If they are available, and you
don't see strange signs like _, *, &, # or @ in the names, it's probably
easy to call from LabVIEW.
One way to deal with this is to make a C/C++ wrapper that does use C naming
so LabVIEW can understand it, but you can't do that in LabVIEW.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Problem using PID toolkit and control design toolkit to design the closed loop system. (for DC motor closed loop)

Hi, i have facing some problem during i upgrade a project. This project is an opened loop system, it only achieved up to controlling the speed of motor, detecting the speed of motor, and switching the direction of motor while controlling the motor (This motor is a 12 VDC motor).
In order to improve the project, closed-loop dc motor control system will be implemented to correct the error of the motor's speed and maintaining the speed for the initial setting. I would like to use PID control method to do the closed loop system.
I already installed the PID toolkit V8.2 and control design toolkit V2.1.2, and i'm using DAQ usb 6221, LabVIEW 8.5
Below is my problem.

I do know of this one software where you can simulate the NXT, but it might only be for NXT-G programs.
SimplySim at The NXT Step
Other than that I don't think there's any way.
As for the difference between the two, there's a whole ton. Those are two different programs with very different syntaxes. Lego NXT-G is the basic software that comes with the NXT kit. It's a very scaled down version of LabVIEW and is pretty nice. LabVIEW is much more advanced and you can do much more with it, but you are restricted to using the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit and the NXT's cababilities. (no float, only so much RAM, etc.). But you can still do a ton more with it. Yes, you can data log with LabVIEW in, like, many ways.
Hope that helps!

LabVIEW toolkit for digital still camera - PTP protocol based

Dear List,
Just to let you know that a LabVIeW toolkit for PTP
(picture transfer protocol)camera is available. PTP is
the new standard for still imaging devices such as
still camera and scanner, it does not require camera
vendor extra special drivers (unlike Twain)and it's OS
independant, thus being supported widely in modern
high resolution digital still cameras. Interested
people can check out this link:

LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT in Windows Vista

Anybody knows how install LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with Windows Vista?. Installing it gives me an error that says 'The windows installer is corrupt. To attempt to resolve the issue, please register the engine by running regsvr32.exe on msi.dll'. But it doesn´t work.
Thanks in advance

The work around for this issue is to install each of the MSI files setup.exe calls when running the installer. I was able to reproduce this issue for the 1.0 toolkit I was unable to do so for the 2.0 toolkit. This being said the instructions bellow are for those of you who are running into this issue with the 2.0 toolkit.
Listed bellow are the MSIs you will need to run (shown here at their default location after the self extracting EXE has been run). You should run these MSI in the following order.
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MetaUninstaller\MU\MetaUninstaller.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\MDFSupport.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\EULADepot.msi

C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\NXT_Driver64\LegoMindstormsNXTdriver64.msi
A similar procedure can be used to install the 1.0 toolkit if need be. You can get the install order from the parts from the [Parts] section of the setup.ini.
