Help with reading information coming from a software into LabVIEW through Serial port

Hi,
I am new to LabVIEW and also an amateur in using RS232 for communication. I have this software that has these icons like speed increase/decrease, elevation up/down, start/stop. Now, when I click these buttons on the software, they perform the appropriate functions. For example, if I press start button, the signal must go through a serial COM port into LabVIEW to start the machine. How do I do that? How do I find what format the code word is when I press a button on the software? And how to decode the information to read whether the button pushed is start etc...? Any help would be appreciated.

I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!

That information would be in the programming manual for the device you're controlling. Unless you have a device that has no documentation or you cannot get the documentation that's the first place you should look. If you cannot get the documentation at all then you've got some reverse-engineering to do. To do this you will either need a serial port sniffer (a hardware device), or you can try to use a software-based port capturing program. On Windows PortMon is the most prevalent. This will show you how the port was configured (baud rate, stop bits, etc). Warning: the information is technical.
As far as how to get it running in LabVIEW, you should take a look at the serial port communication examples that ship with LabVIEW. The most problems occur in figuring out how to (a) terminate a write command, and (b) determining when to stop reading. For (a) this is typically done by appending a carriage return or linefeed to the command. This is device dependent. For (b) this is usually done by the byte stream ending with a character like a linefeed. Again, this is device-dependent. 
You may also want to peruse this KB article: Serial Instrument Control Tutorial. There are also lots of tutorial on the internet for basic tutorials on serial port communication.

  • Reading controller data into LabVIEW through serial connections to controllers?

    I'd like to read data from environmental chamber controllers (System Plus) into LabVIEW through RS232 connections.  Has anyone done something similar?
    I see interfacing with the serial controllers as the biggest obstacle and although not directly related to LabVIEW programming, I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice or resources on how best to do so now days.
    My first thought is to write a program with VB or C++ to act as a terminal and write the data to a text file for LabVIEW to poll.  Aside from using Telix decades ago to work with BBSes, my only other serial experience consists of interfacing with a Kiethly multimeter using a C++ program. 
    I would rather not use multiple PCs but I have never worked with more than one serial port on a computer before in the past.  Perhaps LabVIEW itself already provides for multiple serial card communications (wouldn't that be perfect)?
    Any info would be great.
    Regards,
    Dave

    Thanks Dennis.
    I spoke with Envirotronics and they do not provide the driver for the System Plus controller any longer since there were issues with changing hardware and software.  Their IT department may be able to put something together for me.
    Using USB->RS232 connections would be nice given the abundant number of USB ports available on modern PCs.
    Without a driver I see parsing the serial text as a challenge in LabVIEW.  I know how to approach this with a traditional programming language but are there any examples around here of how this is done with LV (most recent version is fine)?

  • Need help with reading RSS feed from SSIS

    Hi all,
    I am trying to read RSS feed from SSIS by using the Script Component. So far I am able to read some information from the RSS feed from the following items included in the code, Title, PublishDate, LastUpdateTime, Id and Summary.
    There are still more item but I am unable to identify the proper data type for the following:
    //Output0Buffer.Description = item.Content;
    //Output0Buffer.Category = item.Categories;
    //Output0Buffer.Comments = item.Summary;
    //Output0Buffer.Source = item.SourceFeed;
    When I define the data for item.Content as Unicode String in the column properties for the Output column I get the following error message:
    Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.ServiceModel.Syndication.SyndicationContent' to 'string'
    And the same error for the other three variables.
    I am using HTTP Connection manager to read the xml link.
    I tried to google around for some help but I could not find more information about the datatype.
    I appreciate any help if someone can point me to the right solution for reading RSS feed from SSIS.

    You need to make it running outside SSIS 1st. I just do not see why you need to publish it here at the moment.
    And to solve it, doesn't C# has the
    VAR datatype so you do not have to guess.

  • Need help with read/write to MODBUS RTU registers in Labview 8.0

    I’m trying to write and read the registers in G3800xx016. controlling temperatures and lightning.  Please look at the attached pdf file for this unit..
    I have used Lookout for about three years, and it works fine.. Now I want to expand my system and try to use Labview 8.0
    My temperature register start adress is 100 Hex  (256 dec) I read from Register with Function code 03.
    This register have values from 0-255 witch mean in labview for me as unsigned byte U8
    I read my temperature from the register like this: eks.: 40257 lets say value=5
    Slave    FC       Start Adress     Byte     Value               CRC
    01        03        0100                02        0005                7847   
    This is the status received from the Modbus tester when I use null-modem connection..
    I receive the same value if I use Modscan32
    I have used null-modem cable to read out the values.
    I have also PIR detectors that control movements and light of and on, and I read these starts at 40017.1
    01   03     0010     02    
    The register to switch on and of heating and lights starts at 404097.1  FC16  
    Values mention here is read from Lookout 5.0  
    I have tried examples and read for weeks about this, but everything stops when I try to use Labview 8.0    I can’t read any values from my Master unit, neither write to it, or read any values in Modbus testers when I use null-modem cable.. I have tried different baud rates in my serial connection and it works perfect in Lookout, but Not Labview..
    I have even bought DSC module, but I can’t write to either com ports or Modbus testers..
    Please anybody… is there anybody that can give me help with this??
    Start address for for PIR detectors is 40017.1 (FC03)  and for writing bits for on of to light and heatsystem is 404097.1 (FC16)
    I would be very happy for any idea that can give me some positive results…  Look at the attached pdf file.
    Thanks.. and very best regards from

    Hi... and thanks for your answer..
    Yes, I have downloaded the NI Modbus drivers.. I have downloaded that one + a lot of other things about Modbus..
    I have also tried communication between lokout and labview true null-modem cable.. and it works..
    I have tried several Modbus examples and I communicate with most of them with null-modem cable.
    I write to the right registers as well, cause I use Modbus scanner to read the information..
    I have used the same settings for serial communication as my Master device use, bust still I can't get any response..
    There was an error message in one of my example from the Modbus INIT module.. Maybe I should try to set up a new connection using VISA ??
    Maybe the problem is to INIT my serial port? I have tried restarting my computer after closing my system..  But still, I have the same problem..
    I hope you can give me any idea...
    Thanks again..  by the way.. is it possible to write and read directly to serial port with the DSC module??  If so.. how?? 
    Very best regards..
    Benjii..

  • I need some syntax help with reading some values from a selected row in an Access form.

    My goal:  to extract the data from 4 fields in a datasheet row and place them in another form.
    My problem:  I can only get the field values from the first row of the datasheet.
    I have tried using the Form_Click event as the location for the code I've tried.  This seems to be the right place, but apparently referring to the desired fields by their names with Me. in front just references the first record in the datasheet, not
    the one I've selected.
    Should I just read the source form's recordset using the Currentrecord value somehow?  I could use some direction on that.
    Thank you.

    It's generally considered good forum etiquette to post back a description of the solution which you've reached.
    The normal control for a multi-valued field is a combo box rather than a text box, but unless it is necessary for you to use a  multi-valued field, i.e. your database is interfacing with SharePoint in the very limited context in which this feature is necessary,
    I'd advise that you model the many-to-many relationship type in the time-honoured way by means of a table which resolves the relationship type into two one-to-many relationship types, and use a subform to show the data.  You can alternatively use a multi-select
    list box or a text box which shows a value list.  You'll find examples of all three methods in StudentCourses.zip in my public databases folder at:

    First let me say that your code really looks pretty good. The data handling could be made more efficient by calculating the number of datapoints that are going to be in the completed dataset and preallocating the entire array -- but depending upon your answer to my questions, the logic in the lower shift register may be going away - so we won't worry about that right now.
    The thing I need to know before addressing the data storage question is: Each time you call "Collect and Display Data.vi", how many element are in the array? Are you reading single data points, or a group of data? (BTW: if the answer to that question is obvious based on the way the other VIs are setup, I don't have the drivers so I can't tell what the setup values are.) Second, how fast does the loop iterate? Are we talking msec per loop?, seconds? fortnights?
    The issues here are two-fold: how much data? and how fast is it coming? The answer to these will tell you how to save the data.

    Two problems :
    1 - You can't merge catalogs in PSE
    2 - The usual workaround is to 'write metadata to files', export the files and 'get' them into the other catalog. But you can't write metadata to files with video files.

  • Link DN with information coming from active directory

    I have setup a Unified CM and IM/presence server. The Unified CM server is connected to LDAP active directory to authenticate the users that login via the Cisco Jabber Windows client. I have configured CSFdevices for each user and created a DN which has the same number as the normal phone line number. The users logging in to the cisco jabber client appears well as reachable in to the client for the other user that are logged in. However when I try to call them (via the number that comes from active directory) this doesn't work. (busy number) When I type the number that I have configured as a DN I succeed to make a connection with a different user.
    Any idea how to link the DN from the CSF softphone with the information that comes from Active directory.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Forget about application dial rules mate, if you do desk phone control using Jabber, and you dial a person  using that person's telephone attribute in AD, just put a translation pattern in place. That should work.
    that way you can also use DNA for troubleshooting purposes.
    Alternatively, you can populate the ipphone in AD and populate that with the extension that is configured on the phone/CSF device and alter the LDAP atrribute mappings in Presence  (applications>cisco jabber>jabber settings).  but this will not solve your problem if you use like iphones, ipads .

  • Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

    Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
    Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
    I don't understand.
    Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
    Please help!
    M

    Hello mb9236,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine. 
    It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application.  The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book. 
    Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there.  Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
    Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
    If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
    Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
    Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
    If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
    If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
    You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

  • Help with botched Tiger install from failed 10.5 upgrade

    I had Tiger on my Macbook then a mate lent me his OSx 10.5.6 installation disc. Big mistake!
    I loaded this new OS on the Macbook but the iMail wouldn't work.
    I then went back to my Apple-purchased 10.4.8 installation discs and tried to reload OSx 10.4.8, following the on-screen instructions for going back to 10.4 from 10.5.
    Disc 1 of the 10.4.8 loaded fine but was then asked for disc 2 which I loaded. The Install Prog read and loaded from this second disc but the install failed with the error message: "There were errors installing the software, please try again".
    The only option I have is to click CLOSE
    In doing so, the Mac reboots then opens up again on the Install Prog box that asks me insert Mac OSX Install Disc 2.
    I am trapped in this loop and cannot get out!
    How do I fix this and either go to OSX 10.4 or my mates OSX 10.5???!
    HELP!!!

    When I tried to do exactly what you said, I got the error message "Public can't be modified or deleted because it is required by Mac OS X. The only thing I could find in my old Username Public folder was Dropbox and seeing as I never really used this, not having the contents on my rebuilt Macbook isn't really a worry for me.
    I got the same error message when I tried to copy over all the other folders too.
    So I opened each folder in question and copied over the contents of each folder to the contents, i.e. old version to new version (often I had to open sub-folders to copy contents over to sub-folders because I kept getting the "...can't be modified of deleted because it is required by Mac OS X" error message).
    When I'd finished doing this, the folder Oldusername in /Previous Systems.localized/Previous System 1/User still has 4.23GB of stuff in it that I can't copy over but when I looked into the remaining stuff in Old User I found a massive amount of stuff in the Downloads folder which I won't miss.
    I then rebooted and crossed my fingers...
    FANTASTIC - my Desktop data returned and EVERYTHING SEEMS GREAT!!!
    Just to be on the safe side, I ran REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS on the parent 186.3 GB Toshiba disc on the left hand side of the Disk Utility and then rebooted again.
    THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! Phew!!!
    So both my Macbook and my iMac are now running the same version of Mac OS X 10.5.8
    However, why is it that the Mail on my Macbook allows me to open Preferences no problem at all but the Mail on my iMac won't let me do this??? This is a real pain as I want to add a new account to my iMac Mail as well as alter some signatures and set up some new rules.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running Mail version 3.6...

  • Help with finding address book from device manager on computer, Blackberry is dead

    My pearl got wet the other day. I dried it out took it apart and a day later put it on. it worked for 10 mins. Now its dead. When the tech at At& t looked at my sim card said nothing was on it. I had synched the phone about 2 3 weeks ago, so figured i could get the info from there except cant find the file. have tried a few suggestions on here like searching for .ipd file but dont have any. Where would it synch too? If i cant find it? got a feeling the worst news i lost everything but hoping for a miracle.

    Treasurercay25:
    Oh, man. Heart goes out to you.
    You wouldn't have any synced files from Outlook on the new hard drive since you never sync'd to it. Do you remember how you sync'd to the pc? As an ascii (text) file or what did you select when setting up your synchronization settings? You know, the screen where you selected Outlook on the old hard drive.  Step 5 in this sample link
     Lifted this from sdgardne in another thread:
    If you don't want to shift PIM's, then you have an option to export, from your current PIM, into ASCII or CSV format...which can be imported via the RIM software into the BB. You won't get sync, but you'll at least get a 1-time import of your stuff. If you want to follow that path, then this KB applies:
    KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    Let is know how you'd like to proceed. Cheers!
    I'll have to think on this one, but try to get the date, range of dates, when you think you last sync'd with the pc.
    You could then do a search for that file type within that date range.
    Hang in there. . Other users may also have other ideas as well.
