How can I use a PCMCIA RS-485 card from a LabView .exe?

Hi all,
We are going to be taking a LabView application and compiling it into an executable (.exe) for use by someone who does not have LabView.  This program requires use of either a National Instruments PCMCIA RS-485 card or possibly a USB RS-485 card.  The question is this - how do I use the card since we will not be able to run the MAXX software ahead of time to "install" the card?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
On this deployment machine, you will need to have NI-Serial, NI-VISA, and the LabVIEW Run-time Engine. The version of the LabVIEW run-time engine will need to be the same version as the application was developed on. This can be downloaded from the Drivers and Update page or an installer can be created to install your application as well as the necessary run-time engine.
If your application has RS-485 communication, you will need to install both NI-Serial and NI-VISA on this deployment machine. NI-Serial is the driver for the NI PCMCIA-485 or NI USB-485. The NI-Serial driver allows the devices to be properly configured and recognized in Windows. NI-VISA gives you the programming capability in LabVIEW. You can add both the VISA run-time engine and NI-Serial to your installer. You will need both of these drivers with the NI Serial hardware.
You will have to run through the "Found New Hardware" Wizard when you install the hardware initially on this deployment computer, but setting up the baud rates and communication configuration should be done in your application as normal.
I hope this helps!

  • How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

    I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
    How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
    Example of File Contents:
    Link Time =
    DD/MMM/YYYY
    Random
    Text
    161 179
    bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
    16 789
    bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
    1 875
    bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
    90 783
    bytes of FARCODE memory
    What I would like to have as a final file:
    EXCEL COLUMN1
    Column 2
    Column3
    Column4
    Column5
    Column6
    MM/DD/YYYY
    filename1
    161179

    xxxxx
    xxxx
    xxxxx
    MM/DD/YYYY
    filename3
    xxxxxx
    xxxxx
    xxxx
    xxxxx
    Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

    Hello
    You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
    set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
    if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
    do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
    use strict;
    use open IN => ':crlf';
    chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
    local $/ = qq(\\0);
    my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
    local $/ = qq(\\n);
    #     CSV spec
    #     - record separator is CRLF
    #     - field separator is comma
    #     - every field is quoted
    #     - text encoding is UTF-8
    local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
    local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
    # print column header row
    my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
    print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
    # print data row per each file
    while (@ff) {
        my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
        if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
            warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
            next;
        $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
        @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
        while (<IN>) {
            chomp;
            $dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;
            ($dd[2] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of CODE\\s/o;
            ($dd[3] = $1) =~ s/ //g if m/([0-9 ]+)\\s+bytes of DATA\\s/o;

  • How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

    We are all just your fellow users. No one here is going to be able to answer those questions for you. Bottom line is, for whatever reaons, you cannot use your iPad as a mobile hotspot. If that's the reason why you bought it, you need to either return it or sell it.

    How can I use my apple ID to buy from different app stores (different countries)?

    You can only use a country's store if you are in that country and have a billing address in that country on your account - are you in the country that you want to buy content from ? If you are then you can update the billing address on your account to be your address there (if using a credit card then that will need to have been issued by a bank in that country) via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes.

  • No ISA slot available in PC. How can I use PCI-85 Modbus Plus card with Lookout?

    My application is to communicate with two Modicon PLCs using Modicon's ModBus Plus (PCI based PCI-85) network card inside my PC, and using Lookout as an SCADA software. Since there is no ISA slot available in new PCs, I can not use Modicon's ISA-85 Modbus Plus networc card. But Lookout does not support PCI based PCI-85 card, how can I use PCI-85 card then, with Lookout? Why doesn't Lookout support it? I asked the following question from from the Modicon's representative about it:
    If I purchase Modbus Plus Driver Suite CD (SWMXDS001, 05, or 10 etc),will I be able to use Lookout SCADA software (by the way, it supports standard MB+ prtocol) for my application? If yes, can I use any version of an
    y of the ISA, PCI, or PCMCIA based MB+ card?
    His answer was:
    The Modbus Plus Driver Suite will talk to any version of card, PCMCIA, ISA, and PCI. The question now is will the SCADA package you are
    planning on using be able to talk to the Modbus Plus Driver Suite? You must contact National Instruments and ask them if they support Modbus Plus, and if
    they used the MB+ system developement kit to develop their product. Or if they wrote their own MB+ drivers, do they work with Modicon hardware?

    Hi,
    currently Lookout does not support the PCI-85 card. The only card supported for Modbus Plus is SA-85. Please see for further information:
    Where can I Find Drivers for Communicating to PLCs, RTUs, and Other Industrial Hardware?
    How to configure the SA-85 card for Modbus Plus
    Hope this helps
