Help files measurement studio

Hi you Gurus,
I just bought full version of measurement studio. I installed it succesfully and started using it wihout problem untill I needed help ressources. The measurment studio did not installed any index extension help. I do not have acces to class,function definitions... Is that normal or what... Please help soon

That is not normal. Where are you looking for the help? You should be able to find it in the Start Menu under Programs->National Instruments->Measurement Studio->Help->Measurement Studio Reference. If you do not see this, look for a Help directory under the directory where you installed Measurement Studio. If the Help directory is there, look for a file called msref.chm and double-click that to launch the help.

Help files applescript studio

Hi everyone!
Ok I've read all the info and this should be something pretty easy (I think), but for some reason I'm not getting it. Here's what I did:
1. Made an index.html page and put it in a folder named MyApp Help and put that folder in MyApp bundle>Contents>Resources>English.lproj folder.
2. Put header in the index.html file like this: <meta name="AppleTitle" content="MyApp Help">
3. Added 2 strings in the info.plist with the names CFBundleHelpBookFolder and CFBundleHelpBookName with both having the name MyApp Help as the input.
4. Added the files into xcode groups and files.
It seems based on what I read that this should be it? But still no help file. Right now it's possible not everything is linked properly in Interface Builder, but if I open the Help Viewer and go to Library it should be there now right? Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I got it working!!! But some feedback would be great because here's what happened:
I started a brand new AS application just to check out the settings on a new project and I noticed that if I clicked the help menu it would display a dialog saying no help available. Now I didn't remember having that in my app and sure enough I was right. The difference is I started with a droplet form and I had to add in the help menu because the standard menu on a droplet doesn't have anything. But this added-in help menu that I put didn't display a dialog like the standard menu from the application template. And there is no help menu in the cocoa palette, you must just insert a menu item and make it into help. So I just copied the entire menu from the application template into my app and it worked right away! That's great but I just don't get exactly what the problem was? And hopefully not everyone that starts with a droplet template has the same problem??? :D:D:D
Thanks...Reg

Using graphs in measurement studio

I have written in multiple languages, and this �easy� �user friendly� software package has left me completely stumped. How on earth do you put data in to a graph and display it????? Can someone please show me code examples of firstly how to shove an entire array of numbers into a graph in VB.net using the new Measurement Studio and secondly how I could update a graph plot with a next acquired sample. Please help

"Where would I find "Creating Measurement Studio Strip Charts, Scope Charts, and Graphs" document. if it is on the website it is extremeley well hidden even from its own search engine. Does this specifically talk about VB .NET and measurement studio"
You can find this topic, as well as several other conceptual topics about the Measurement Studio .NET features with VB.NET/C#, in the Measurement Studio help that installs with Measurement Studio. You can find this help in two ways:
Integrated into VS.ET 2003/MSDN Help - Go to the table of contents, then the "NI Measurement Studio Help" node.
Measurement Studio standalone help - Go to the Start Menu, then Programs->National Instruments->Measurement Studio 7.1 for VS.NET 2003->Measurement Studio Documentation
Once you're in the table of contents, you can find the topic above by navigating to:
- NI Measurement Studio Help
- NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library
- Using the Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries
- Using the Measurement Studio Windows Forms .NET Controls
- Using the Measurement Studio Graph .NET Controls
The topic above is the second link in the list. If you have Measurement Studio 7.1 installed, this link will take you directly there.
"Using Measurement Studio ActiveX controls I wouldn't even know where to start, there is no AxCWGraph on any toolbar."
AxCWGraph is the name of the interop wrapper that is automatically generated by VS.NET when you add CWGraph to your project, so you won't see it in the toolbox. WaveformGraph/ScatterGraph is what you should use in .NET applications if you have Measurement Studio 7.0 or higher. I only mentioned CWGraph because this was posted to the Measurement Studio for Visual Basic forum instead of the Measurement Studio for Visual Studio .NET forum, so it wasn't clear if you were using the Measurement Studio .NET controls or the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls.
"If NI could just stick an example of exactly how to use VB.NET with measurement studio on displaying data and the various options available and stick it for all to see on the measurement studio home page it would be great."
There are several examples that are installed with Measurement Studio 7.1. If you installed Measurement Studio to the default location, you can find this examples at:
Program Files
National Instruments
MeasurementStudioVS2003
DotNET
Examples
UI
Graph
"I write in over ten different languages and scripts and fluent in two of them. It worries me that I can't even find the front door let alone open it."
I can understand how this could difficult if you were not aware of the Measurement Studio help and examples. Is it easier now that you know about this content that installed with Measurement Studio? If not, what else do you feel is missing?

How to save the value in Cedit control into a text file bu using measurement studio c++?

Im using measurement studio c++ to create a application. How to save a randomly generated value which display in the CNumberEdit Control to a text file? how to do the coding part?

You can use the CNiFile class to write the value out to a file. For example, create a new Measurement Studio C++ project and follow these steps:
Add a CNiNumEdit to the dialog.
Add a member variable for the CNiNumEdit called m_numEdit.
Add a button to the dialog.
Double-click the button to add a message handler for the button's BN_CLICKED message.
Add the following code to the button's BN_CLICKED message handler:
CNiFile file("C:\\Values.log", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText);
file << m_numEdit.Value << endl;
file.Close();
Run the application, edit the CNiNumEdit's value, and click the button. The value should be written to the Values.log
file as specified in the code above.
Hope this helps.

Exe file will not start using a Measurement studio 2013 component

Hello,
I use Meausrement studio 2013 with visual studio 2012 and vbnet on windows 7.
On a new project (windows form application), i use a form and a ScatterGraph component. I compile, no errors and it works fine.
Now, i try to start this application on a another Windows 7 station. (The framework 4.5 is installed on its station).
The exe file is in a directory with the natrional Instruments dll files.
The exe file will not start, no errors.
PS: Before, with Meausrement studio 2010 and visual studio 2010 all worked fine.

Hi, virgule
It sounds like you are using the "Publish" feature in Visual Studio (a.k.a., ClickOnce) for deployment, is that correct? If so, unfortunately ClickOnce is not supported by Measurement Studio components.
If you are looking for a good way to deploy Measurement Studio applications, I would highly recommend upgrading to Measurement Studio 2015, which ships with Measurement Studio Installer Builder. You can read more about this here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52669/en/
If you cannot update to Measurement Studio 2015 and are using Visual Studio 2013, NI recommends using WiX for creating your installer. More information on WiX deployment can be found here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/764B727C9BD2C4C686257C970053D059

How to use CWPictureDisp of Measurement Studio in VB ?

Is there an example of using the CWPictureDisp object
of ComponentWorks/Measurement Studio in Visual Basic?
I am developing a display for a system that will track
an underwater vehicle and I would like to show a
vehicle shaped icon that would move around on an XY
plot.
The only help information for CWPictureDisp I could
find just says it manipulates images within controls.
But I can find no examples or detailed description
of how to use it.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide
more detailed information on the CWPictureDisp
or tell me where to look for the information?
Thanks.

The easiest way to do this is using the new Annotations feature in the 2D Graph. An annotation object in the graph consists of a shape, an arrow, and some text. In your case, you want to hide the arrow and the text and use an image for the shape.
Here is how you can play around with this idea.
1. Right-click on the 2D Graph and select Properties.
2. On the Annotations property page, click Add to add a new annotation. If you like, you can rename the annotation to 'vehicle.' This would be useful when programmatically accessing the annotation.
3. On the Style sub-page, click on the Picture icon. This is a shortcut method of setting several styles on the annotation for an image only.
4. On the Coordinates sub-page, choose Plot-1 (or whatever the name of your pl
ot is) for Plot and Point On Selected Plot for Snap Mode. This tells the shape to snap to a specific point on a specific plot.
5. On the Images (top-level) property page, select the name of your annotation in the list, click the button to the right of File or URL, and select Load. Find the image of the vehicle you want to use.
During run-time:
6. Programatically change the PointIndex property on the annotation object to move the shape's position on the plot.
Remember to use the ?-help feature on the property pages to see example VB code that uses the properties.
I hope this helps,
David

How can i understand all the functions provided in the measurement studio for visual c++?

Hoew do i choose the AppWizard wich ensure i have the correct header files, libraries...? What is th eMFC ClassWizard use for? How can i more understand all the functions provided in this software?

Hi,
It all depends on what you want to do! but in general to use MStudio the best way is to select a NI Measurement Studio AppWizard this way you will have all the classes for the MStudio components to gether with a dilog based MFC application.
The ClassWizard will help you create classes for the components of your user interface, you can use it with the MStudio components just the same way that you use it with any control in VC++.
If you go to the start menu and programs you should see under National Instruments a link for MStudio where you can access the help file with all the information on the components and classes. However for specific tasks or questions the best way is to use http://www.ni.com/support.
Good luck!

Where is the Help File in VB examples?

Hi,
I'm running through the examples of Measurement Studio for VB6.
When the project runs, pressing the [Help] button invokes an help file. However, when not running, while looking at the callback for the [Help] button I can only see the procedure 'Private Sub CWHelpButton1_GotFocus()'. There's nothing in this procedure to call the help file.
How does the help file invoked?
Thanks

It looks like that button is designed to just give help about additional examples:

I am unable to find the class in Measurement Studio 2009 include Please provide the
refrence how to use these file in Measurement Studio 2009.
Thanks

Hello
Change your definition to the following
Dim Peaklocation As Variant
Dim Peakamplitute As Variant
Dim SD As Variant
The VB help for this function states that these parameters need to be defined as Variants and not as array of variants. The PeakDetector function will automatically allocate an array of doubles and populate the variant with it. You can then index the variant to obtain the data as you would an array.
I hope it helps

Why can't visual basic 6 load CWDAQ.OCX in the example programs? I am using the latest Measurement Studio 6 and VISTA OS.

Can someone help me with getting controls to work with Visual basic 6 in an Vista environment? I cannot get the examples to work that use the CWDAQ.OCX control. I did a search on my computer and the file is not even there. What functions are in CWDAQ.OCX? Is there a descriptions of what functions are included in this control and other controls? It is not obvious where to find these descriptions.
I did install Measurement Studio 6 with all the options for Visual basic 6.
I am new to programming NI cards with visual basic so any help in getting me started will be greatly appreciated.
I need to talk to a PCI-6110 card in visual basic 6. I would like to preprogrammed the D/A fifos, store to two analog inputs simutaneously, and use some of the digital I/O. Can someone direct me the direction as to what controls I need to use?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
Tony

Hi Tony,
So the reason you can't find the CWDAQ.OCX ActiveX controls in VB 6.0 in Vista is because that is a Tradtional DAQ (legacy) control meant to work with the Traditional DAQ Driver.
The Tradtional DAQ drivers aren't officially supported in Windows Vista (KnowledgeBase 4FDH4MZN: Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) for Windows Vista OS) and so the CWDAQ.OCX controls don't get installed.
However, the good news is that the PCI 6110 is a newer card that uses our newer driver, NI-DAQmx. DAQmx is supported in Vista and you can communicate to your card from VB 6.0 using DAQmx in Vista.
There are several examples that show you how to communicate using DAQmx in VB 6.0.
These can be found in:
<Users>\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
This is also mentioned in the following Knowledgebase article:
KnowledgeBase 47CCSQ5B: NI-DAQmx, NI-VISA and NI-488.2 .NET Example Locations
Also, the DAQmx functions are documented in the following locations:
Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx C API Visual Basic 6.0 Help
Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx C Reference Help
Hope this helps!!

I have programmed a visual basic application using activex controls. WHen I run this application through internet, it appears a message box indicating that the measurement studio is a demo, but I have the correct license. What can I do?

I run the application in a computer without measurement studio because my application is stored in a web server and I access to the application downloading it from a web page of that server.

Have you included the lpk file with your control? I've attached the tool you'll need and here is a nice link that goes thru it step by step.
Hope this helps
