How to include Instrument drivers in Lab-view apps builder

Hi,
I am using Labvier 7,1, I have managed to use the Application builder for a simple program, but have problems with a larger program that includes P & P instrument drivers (for GPIB)
I can create an installer, but when I try & install it, I get a great number of errors, all relating to being unable to find all the vi for the Instrument driver functions.
I tried several variations,  including support files, & including the instrument driver dll's from C:\vxipnp\winnt\bin\
this time I got app f.ailed to start , needs VISA32. dll was not found.
I had expected there to be a standard way of using applications Builder to include GPIB p & P Instrument drivers, guess I'm nieve, being a newbe. Any help will be greatly appreciated

The app builder prior to 8.x was only designed to install the application you created. The actual instrument driver VIs should be included in the app but the IVI driver itself (the low level dll) is not. You should really include the installer for the IVI driver and not just the dlls. This is the .msi file that is on the instrument driver download page. If you are getting an error about VISA32, then it sounds like VISA was not installed either. I usually install VISA and NI-GPIB from the CD that comes with the GPIB board and I do this when I install the board into the computer. However, you can also include these installers with your app as well. On the Installer Settings tab, click the Advanced button. You have the option there of 'Run executable after installation'. The simplest thing to do is to create a .bat file that will call the other installers you include with the distribution. Don't forget that you also need the IVI Compliance Package so include that installer as well.

  • How to get bode plot in lab view

    Hi all,
    I'm just starting with lab view.
    We have NI PXI system.
    I need frequency responce of a servo motor i.e.  bode plot,
    I'm using labview 8 ,we have PXI 7352 motion controller.
    I'm very confused as where to start and what is the in put to the motor.
    can any one help me?

    Hello,
    I'm not so sure that using a motion control card is the way to go about finding the frequency response of a servo motor. In order to do this, you would give the motor a varying sinusoidal voltage and then measure the voltage output of a velocity sensor. Here is a link to a document that goes through the process: ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/epd/lab5_frequency_response.pdf

  • How to include two different tables in view concept..

    I have to make the innerjoin between these two tables.. i.e, BUT000-PARTNER = PA0002-PERNR.. here PARTNER is CHAR(10) and PERNR is NUMC(8)..in this i had two probs..one is how to convert this PERNR into CHAR(10) and second is how to match those fields..in VIEWS concept..
    regards
    ravi..

    Kiran,
    Usually Views are created where there are two columns of the same type exist in the JOIN CONDITION. In this case your results when you create a VIEW in SE11, you cannot specify the offset so that it considers only the last 8 chars.
    So, in this case , you are better off taking care of this in the code, where you can mentiond to consider the first / last 8 chars of the string.

  • I'm subscribe creative cloud membership, but the individual membership limits to produce iPad only app. How can I solve this problem? DPS app builder is not showing ipad iphone option, and membership is requiring enterprise subscription.

    Hi,
    I'm operating digital publishing company, and I'm an individual subscriber of CC.
    When I use DPS app builder for making ipad+iphone app, the DPS is only showing iPad option as default.
    And it's not possible to enroll Newsstand app either.
    How can I make ipad+iphone app which is fully supporting newsstand?
    Is it possible upgrading from individual to professional/enterprise subscriber?

    You will need at least a professional DPS account. Creative Cloud allows only single edition iPad apps.

  • Make IVI drivers from LAB VIEW drivers

    Hello,
    I have some questions about IVI drivers and Teststand.
    how can I make the interface between teststand and the IVI drivers. Or
    how can I import the IVI drivers in teststand, so that I can use them
    kind regards
    samuel

    Hi,
    You can use the LabVIEW adapter to call the instrument driver VI's direct. Use the Action Step Type to perform the configuring and one of the Test Step Types (Pass/Fail, Numeric Limit Step Types) when acquiring a reading.

  • How to include Php Files in SrcView and Release Build

    Dumb question
    For a long time I have been manually copying any changes to my php files from the debug to the release folder manually. I know they can be linked so they do so on compile (and I am hoping also included in srcview) but never took the time to figure out what the proceedure is.
    About time I guess Suggestions?

    What I have been doing is creating a new folder in your src maybe like "scripts" or something.  Then you can create a .php file in there and when you double click to open it should open your default .php editor.  Now when you do a release build it will include the folder "scripts" in your bin-release.
    Then do something like
    <s:HTTPService id="my_http_service" url="./scripts/script.php" result="my_http_service_resultHandler(event)" resultFormat="e4x">
    The only problem I have run into is when testing locally you will need to have a copy on a server, unless you have apache running locally.
    Hope this helps!

  • Case structure with more than 200 cases, slower lab view app

    Problem Description :
    i am currently making a vi which compose of a simple case structures, a case structure with more than 200 cases, what i noticed is that the more i added cases the slower the labview reacts, it takes time for me to route wire on each of the cases.
    i dont know if there are any setting in the labview environment that i can increase the buffer size? i dont know... but its getting slow (only on the
    vi with more cases in a case structure)
    mytestautomation.com
    ...unleashed the power, explore and share ideas on power supply testing
    nissanskyline.org
    ...your alternative nissan skyline information site

    Can you clarify what you mean by "slow". Does it run more slowly or does it feel sluggish during editing?
    Could you attach the actual VI?
     Overall, I agree with the notion of local variable overuse. For example, you read the same local variable twice in the same case. Is there a need for this? Is there a chance that it varies between the two reads? Typically, you would place the terminal in front of the case structure and wire to all the locations where you need the value. This ensures that the data is consistent. Still, this should not cause any slowdown problem.
    (On a sidenote, the code in the upper left corner is inefficient. You convert the same data to lower case with each iteration, so you might want to place this before the loop and do it only once (well, if you are lucky, LabVIEW will fold the operation, but still....). Also your "index array" operation can be replaced by autoidenxing of the 2D array on the outer loop boundary.)

    Could you elaborate on "almost everytime"?
    Are you sure you have access rights for the desired build folder?

  • How to edit ABOUT and HELP contents after app build operation?

    I hope people can read the HELP contents and ABOUT information from the program after I build the VI into an exe file or an install file. I don't know where to edit those informations. Thanks!

    After you build a VI into an application, (.exe) nothing in it can be changed since any changes would require the application to be recompiled, and that requires the LabVIEW development environment.
    On a Windows PC, the "Help" file is external to the application, so you could setup in the VI Proerties > Documentation the link to the exteranl Help file, then edit that file whenever you need to. This path would have to setup before you build the .exe and would not be able to be changed.
    You could use a similar approach for an "About" screen. Make a sub-vi for the About screen, and have the application builder set to "Small target file with exteranl file for suVIs" under the Build Options. This will create two files for your built application. An .exe th
    at is your top level VI, and an .llb that contains all your subVIs. When you need to change the About info, you would just need to modify your original About dialog, then copy it into the .llb of the built application overwritting the original one.
    If this is not what you are asking, please provide some more detail.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • How to control a NI USB 6210 from a Lab View program?

    Hi,
    I started today with Lab View with some earlier experience long ago.
    While it took me only about half an hour to get my first program running (great), installation time nor included (of course), I meanwhile read documents for some hours and cannot find out how to control measurement hardware in Lab View.
    I want to use a USB 6210 to set a 1-bit digital port. But at the moment there is no USB6210 available so I wanted to write (or do you say draw ?) the program without it and if possible simulate the hardware.
    I drew DAQ Assistant into my block diagram and selected digital line output but get "No supported devices found". I don't know if the appropriate driver was installed during Lab View installation.
    Also I don't understand the mechanism between DAQmx, tasks and the real hardware. Now I have a "Digital Bool 1Line 1Point" Control in my block diagram. How do signals get from program flow to hardware pin? How can I create a simulation for not connected hardware?
    Any help is greatly welcome
    Thanks a lot

    Launch MAX, it was known as Measurement and Automation Explorer, there should be a shortcut in your start menu / desktop.  Under devices and interfaces you can find your hardware and open test panels to control it.  This is the first place to ensure your hardware is working.  If the device isn't seen you'll need to install the drivers and DAQmx software.  If it is there, great.
    Now launch LabVIEW.  The easiest way to control hardware is using the DAQ Assistant.  It has many limitations and isn't recommended for large applications.  But for something quick and dirty it works fine.  You'll find it under the Measurement I/O >> NI DAQmx palette on the block diagram.  If it isn't there you may need to reinstall the DAQmx drivers.  This can happen if you installed DAQmx before LabVIEW.
    Also you'll find under Help >> Find Examples on the toolbar, many examples on controlling hardware.  Feel free to post some code if  you are having problems.

  • Updating viewer app to include entitlement

    We currently have a multi issue app working nicely in the app store.  The learning curve being we were prepared to give away some content while we fine tune the how we work and how DPS works.  We have a large subscription base and are in the motions of incorporating an entitlement call to allow current subscribers free access leaving the old freebie isses available for free.   I am in the viewer builder and am trying to update our app for new tool sets, bookmarks etc with the main aim to incorporate access and entitlement.
    The problem is when I try and start a new update to the current version I assume I should be changing the viewer type from the current "multi-issue" to "multi-issue with entitlement and access and entitlement" but this option is greyed out unless I start a brand new build.
    This is not something want to do as we have shared the iTunes URL and the current issues (about 12) will need to be re-uploaded again.  (of which I dont have all the files)
      SO......how do I update my current multi viewer app. to one that includes entitlement?

    You can't use Edit to change the viewer type. You need to use New and create a new viewer (then delete the old instance to keep things tidy). When you do this, you don't create a different app. If you use the same credentials when you build the viewer, it will act as an update to the existing app.

  • I nead help in finding Lab View drivers for some instruments

    Hi to you all
    I am looking for some drivers for some instruments ( the list is add ), i have trayed to look for them in the NI site ( Search Instrument Driver Network - http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.drv_search ) but with no luck - the specific instruments drivers were not there.
    I trayed to look for the same instrument series but again with no luck
    I tryed to look for the Lab View drivers at the HP site and Agilent site but the drivers that thay have are not ! Lab View drivers but self developed drivers for the instrument.
    If someone maybe has one or more of those drivers, if someone know of a site that i can find one or more of this Lab View drivers or any help at all in finding this Lab View drivers will help me a lot
    thank you all in advance

    I agree that Christian is sending you in the right direction.  I think you should be able to find about 75% of the instruments that you listed.  Some you will not find and will have to develop the drivers yourself.  There is a wizard in LabVIEW 8.X to help you with that. 
    I know from experience that several of the instruments that you listed do have drivers, so keep trying.
    Hope that this helps,

    Some of these instruments do have drivers or ones for very similar instruments. They are the 8920,4416,8657,8901,8560,TDS540. I haven't gone to any of the vendors sites to see if there were any more you might have missed. You should also know that drivers labeled as 'plug and play' but not LabVIEW, can be converted to a LabVIEW driver.
    If your search still comes up short, you have a few options. At http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm you can make a request for a driver. NI does drivers based on demand and there is no guarantee when or if they will develop one. You can develop them yourself. The above page has links that will help you with this. Developing a driver is not an especially difficult task. You can use the Instrument I/O Assistant or just regular VISA Read/Write to control the instrument. You can hire someone to write the drivers for you. NI has the Alliance Program at http://www.ni.com/alliance/. Some members specialize in driver development. You can choose one of them or someone local.
