How to create graphics in labview?

Dear All,
I'm a graduate student at University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL. I'm working on a project in which I have to design experiments for the undergraduate students to introduce them with the LabVIEW software. In one of the experiments I want to simulate tank level control application in LabVIEW. For this application I need pictures of tank, pump, pipes, etc.
I would appreciate if anybody could guide me about how to create such graphics in LabVIEW.
Regards,

How to create a a labview sequence with teststand

hi everybody,
it might be this question but i haven't found any. I am using TestStand 2.0 and LabVIEW 7.0 and i wanna use labView Sequence adapter to create sequences by using labView step.
So that's how i do.
1) After choosing the labveiw standard prototype adapter, i select a step in the sequence let's say the numeric limit step
2) then I specify the module and choose the option create VI...
3) Then I have a labview front panel window that appears with test data and error out
4) I just add a sequence context in the front panel, take a set property value module, link that module to the sequence context and in the test data as show as in different examples i found
5) but after all when i run the step that is error message i have:
LabVIEW : parameter Sequence Context not found in the VI's connector pane.
-18002; LabVIEW reported an error. See 'LabVIEW : ' message for more details.
it's seems that i don't connect my sequence context to the VI's connector pane but i don't know how to do it. i tried to figure that out by reading some previous post but i still can't.
First what's is a VI's connector pane and do you have access to that? Can you explain me that step by step
Thanks in advance for your help.
Christelle

Hi,
In the Specify LabVIEW Module is a checkbox if you need the Sequence Context in your VI.
You should enbale this before creating the VI. If this is done, then you will not have to add the sequence context control to your VI, because it will already be there.
But from your notes, you dont appear to be adding the Sequence Context control to your VI connector pane.
If you do this, then it should all start to work.

How to create graphic clickable email bugs in signature?

I would love to create clickable icons on the bottom of my work emails for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
What is the best way to go about this? Do I write the raw html code, including clickable areas and then drop it in the signature sub directory? Is there an easier way?

You can always take a screen shot of the video, add a play button (which really wouldn't be an actual play button) and link the image to your HTML page where the video is located.

How to create a dll from vi in Labview 7.0 ?

Hello,
I want to create a dll from a vi in Labview 7.0.
I've found the url: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/003A3E6A5E9CCCEC8625691F0072B2C5
explaining how to create DLLs from LabVIEW in Labview 6.0i but this method is not available in my Labview 7.0.
How is it possible to create a dll from a vi or from vi's (stored in llb-files) ?
With thanks,
best regards,
Geert

You can only create DLLs and Standalone Applications if you have LabVIEW professional or higher.
If you only have LabVIEW Base of Full, you need to purchase the Application builder seperately.
(Check under "Deployment tools" in the LabVIEW comparison matrix. What level do you have?)

How to create state diagram (for state machine)

Hallo all.
In my previous visit here, i saw picture of state diagram (bubbles with connection),
How to create that in labview (if there is such option) ?
or, which other software create state diagram.
thanks

There is the State Diagram Toolkit (additional tool from NI for LabVIEW) with good interface and unreadable code
It gives you a State Diagram Editor at Functions palette.
It is very good tool for state diagram visualization, but readability of the code is controversial.
When you will get a clear picture of a diagram from State Diagram Editor, I suggest use classic state diagram pattern: case structure driven by typedef enum in while loop.

How to create a c++ shared library (.so) for linux real time (for myRio) with Eclipse to use in LabView?

I tried already these Tutorials and Advices but I didn't find a solution:

- http://www.ni.com/tutorial/14690/en/
- http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Shared-Library-on-myrio-Linux-Real-time-system/m-p/2842540/

- and some more
I want use c++ codes on linux real time. For testing reasons I want to have a function that adds 2 values and gives the result.
I've done these steps:
1. writing a c++ file in Eclipse (see screensot 2)
2. building a shared library (.so) from my c++ project in Eclipse (with Cross GCC)
3. putting this file on myRio (path: /usr/local/lib/)
4. creating a VI that calls this library from Labview with a "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshot3)
5. Setting the properties for the "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshots 4-7)
After I run this VI i get this error message: LabVIEW: (Hex 0x627) The function name for the ... node cannot be found in the library. To correct this error, right-click the Call Library Function Node and select Configure from the shortcut menu. Then choose the correct function name. (see screenshot1)
I've tried a lot things to solve this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Would be very happy if anyone can help me. I guess that I have to edit my c++ code to export my function (symbol). But I have no idea how to make it. I also tried it with a dll file in the same folder but it didn't help.
Perhaps someone can send an example which works on myRIO.
Thanks!

screenshot7

can see it in the screenshot8 there is a function called "_Z8AddierenddPd" instead of "Addieren". I copied this name to Labview (see screenshot9) and it worked.
I'm sure that there is a way to compile the shared folder with gcc without decorations (mangling). But I don't know how. If someone has a recommendation I would be very glad!
Prepend each function declaration that you want to be available without name decoration with
extern "C" <your function declaration>
Or if you have multiple functions you want to export you can in the header file where you declare your functions simply use:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
<all your function declarations>
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module?

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module? So that it checks with a list of usernames and passwords and allow to go to another VI?
Anu

Anu,
I've attached a really short example that does something like what you're talking about. It just compares the user's username and password a pre-determined username and password and then "logs the user in" based on that comparison. Like Greycat said, you probably want to store this username and password info in some sort of file on the PDA that's in an encrypted format for both security and flexibility of your application.
I hope this helps,

How to create a table in MS Access from Labview using ActiveX?

I want to transfer datas from Labview to Access using activeX method. My only problem is to find out how to create a new table (array) in Access from the Labview program.
Remarks: I use Labview 6i and MS Access 2000.
For the moment I can write and read datas of Access from Labview.
If someone could help me... that would be grate!

This is off the Microsoft MSDN site "creating an external table". I think you can drop the last step.:
Open the database you want to create the table in. If it is the current database, use the CurrentDb function to return an object variable that represents the current database. If it isn�t the current database, use the OpenDatabase method to open the database you want.
Use the CurrentDb function to create a Database object that points to the current database.
Use the CreateTableDef method of the Database object to create a table definition for the Microsoft Access table.
Use the CreateField method of the TableDef object to create one or more fields in the Microsoft Access table.
Use the Append method of the Fields collection to add the new field or fields t
o the Microsoft Access table.
Use the Append method of the TableDefs collection to create the Microsoft Access table.
Use the TransferDatabase method to create the external table in the specified folder.
Use the Delete method of the TableDefs collection to delete the Microsoft Access table definition.

How to create web applications with the LabVIEW web server

Wonderful Forum,
I've noticed that sometimes it can be tricky for LabVIEW users to learn how to create their own custom web clients using the LabVIEW web server. I created a LabVIEW web development community group and wrote some tutorials to teach the basics of creating web clients using HTML, Javascript, and AJAX. The idea is that LabVIEW users without any web background can quickly look at some tutorials and examples to get started on their own projects.

Hi Joey,
A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

How to create fourier transform properties using labview

Hi everyone
i am a new user to Labview and i only have 2 weeks left to complete an assignment.
This assignment involves the implementation of the various types of fourier transform properties using Labview. These properties include linearity, time shifting, frequency shifting, time scaling,
I do not really know how to implement them using Labview
PLS HELP!!!
Thanks

i am refering to the fourier transform properties listed below:
A) time shifting
x(t-a) ------- > exp (-jwa) X(w)
For the time shifting property above, i have problem creating the exponential term using labview
B) time scaling
x(at)-----------> 1/a X (w/a)
C) Time convolution
Y(w) = F[h(t) * x(t)] = H(w)X(w)
where * stands for the convolution operation and F stands for fourier transform
Please provide diagrams if possible. Thank you
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

How to create a DLL for LabVIEW in MatLab

I want to use MatLab-Code from an M-file in LabView without MatLab. So i decide to use external code in a DLL. Can anybody give me some hints - how to do? (How to create, how to use?)
Used System Windows 98, LabVIEW 6.1, MatLab 6.1 R12.1
Thanks

Hi,
I use Matlab-Code in Labview and it's don't need create a dll. The LV was a tool, matlab script, you can write your code Matlab here. see the examples of LV.I think the lV 6.1 have.
Dll it's very complicated

Is it possible to create a vi-file in an .exe file with labview 6.1i? and how to create it?

Hello,
I want to create a vi-file into an exe-file but don't know how to do it with labview 6.1i.
Maybe somebody here can give me hints to do it!
thank you very much!

To build EXEs you need the application builder. To see if you have it, open the tools menu. If you have an option named "Build application or shared library", you're OK. Just open it and you can set up your app there. To run this application, a computer would have to have the LV run-time engine, which can be downloaded from the NI site. For the first time you deploy the app, you should use the app builder to create an installer, which will install the run-time engine as well as your app.
If you don't have it you can purchase it seperately from NI.Message Edited by tst on 03-17-2005 10:42 AM

How do I install my custom, self-created graphic Persona / Theme that I use on my XP computers on my Win7Firefox?

How do I install my custom, self-created graphic Persona / Theme that I use on my XP computers on my Windows 7 Firefox? (Firefox 17.0.1 Windows 7 64bit Home Edition? (There is, as far as I can tell, no "little fox" icon visible in the lower left!) I am using a downloaded "Persona", or "Theme" ((I sure wish you people would not change important terminology at the drop of a hat!)) and it is working fine.....

You will have to install the Persona Plus extension to easily install a persona via its files instead of via internet.
