How do I control the motors in a third party usb toy with LabVIEW?

Any suggestions?

Hi, if you are only wanting to control motors than you have a lot of options. Use the parallel port with a current driver, use the serial port and a micro to control the motor. If you want to interface the USB device than this is where to get started.

    Good day to all,
    i'm a newbie in programming in motion control of NI. I just want to ask if how can i control the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of a stepper motor using NI PXI 7330 module. all i can do is the counter-clockwise rotation using the example vi (Simple one-axis move.vi) found in the examples of LabView 2009.
    Thanks

  • How do you control the motor in the continuous mode ?

    I use the NI 7334, I would like to create the program to control the motor in the continuous mode. please help me.
    Thank you very mich.

    Hellow water2006,
    Thank you for using our discussion forums.  In regards to continuous mode, are you referring to a constant velocity motion?  There are several examples on our website which will give you a good start on setting this up.  In particular the "Constant Velocity Move" example which is found at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1206
    I hope this helps.

  • How to set up the communication channel for third party idoc

    Hello,
    I am trying to send an idoc from an sap 4.6c system to an third party system. The third party system is supporting idcos with trfc.
    My problem is to set up the communication channel in the integration builder (configuration) for the third party system. The idoc is waitung in XI to transport.
    My settings are:
    adapter type: idoc
    transport protocol: idoc
    message protocol: idoc
    adapter engine: integration engine
    rfc destination: xyz (is working fine)
    interface version: sap release 4.0 or higher
    port: ??
    sap release 46c
    My problem is the port. should i set up a port in idx1? But the third party is not an sap system and so i dont have a client.
    On the xi i have defined a port in transaction we21 (transactional rfc) for the third party with my rfc destination xyz. But if i enter that port in communication channel i got error messages.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Christian,
    yes, you have to mainztain that port in idx1.
    First ypi load the rfc-metadata from an SAP referenzsystem and afterwards copy this metadata to the third party port.
    For further details check the onlinedocumentation "IDoc Processing with the IDoc Adapter" XI -> runtime -> adapter
    Good luck,

  • How can I force the close of a third party ActiveX server.

    We have a third party ActiveX executable that refuses to shut itself down once in a while. And when I say once in a while, I mean one out of every 20-30 times it's attempted. All termination commands are being sent and recieved properly, and all refnums are being closed. No errors are ever generated, all operations report successful, but the thing just won't die. Problem is of course, that if we attempt to restart our software after the ActiveX app fails to terminate, it generates server execution errors when trying to open a new instance. We are not expecting a speedy resolution from the third party, but it is becoming a great inconvenience for our customers. I would like to be able to kill the process thro
    ugh the OS as a last resort. Problem is, to do that I need a ProcID. Is there any way to retrieve a ProcID for the ActiveX server through LabVIEW? Alternatives and suggestions are welcome.

    Hello codeman,
    Thank you for your inquiry regarding closing a third party ActiveX server. It sounds like the third party application is having trouble closing. There are several Windows Utility VIs available that could help in this case. One of the Utility VIs is called Get Window Refnum and should return an instance of a Windows window. The following links are great resources when dealing with this issue.

  • How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

    How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

    If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
    Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom".  It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

  • How can I control the window size of my output?

    Hi,
    I'm drawing a blank... How do I control the size of the window that my project is viewed in? Right now, it's the entire browser window.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
    You  need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then,  you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used.  See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm.  This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the  possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you  how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of  RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example  API's your developer can use to call the help.

  • How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

    How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?  Even if I painstakingly try to
    re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
    I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this.  Has
    anyone found the solution?  Thanks!

    I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
    it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks

    How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

    There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
    Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
    Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
    Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

  • How can I control the size of a cell in the GridBagLayout?

    Hi,Swing Gurus
    I am developing a swing-based program using JBulider5 enterprise.
    It seems to me that the GridBagLayout is really a hard nut!
    How can I control the size of a cell in the GridBagLayout?
    It seems that I cann't control the size of a cell directly.
    But how the size of a particular cell is determined when I switch the layout manager from XYLayout to GridBagLayout?
    Thx in advance!

    hi,i have not done what you are asking but there are fields like
    COLUMNWIDTH, MINSIZE, MAXGRIDSIZE, PREFEREDSIZE to which you can set the appropriate values and test for your need.hope this helped.bye martian.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

    Here's my take on the same thing:
    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.
