How to see data from anemometer in labview?

I'm attempting to see the data from my anemometer via labview...when that didn't work I wanted to make sure the instrument was working, so I tried to set it up in HyperTerminal like the anemometer instruction manual suggested. Now HyperTerminal won't let me connect to the anemometer using that port (keeps saying another program is using Com5, and to try again later!)
Any suggestions on how to just basically See the data in labview from my anemometer(or hyperterminal if you're better at trouble shooting that!!)??
Thanks!

It's possible that Com5 isn't the correct port to read the data from. Since the built in serial port on most PCs is setup to be Com1, you might just be talking to wrong port. Of course if you've changed the default system setup or have added some extra serial ports, this may not be the issue. Hyperterminal probably isn't working because you have opened the port in LabVIEW but have not properly closed it. The operating system won't let more than one application at a time to access a serial port. Try shutting down LabVIEW, then try Hyperterminal. That should release the port. You might need to reboot. If you still get the error in Hyperterminal, then you are trying to access a port that is already in use by something else.
Since your anemometer is a serial instrument, the easiest way to simply read data from it would be to use the Instrument Assistant Express VI. (assumming you're using LabVIEW 7.0 or 7.1 here)The Instrument Assistant is pretty good at hepling you figure out how to talk to your device. But if you're going to be using this in an application, you should look into using the VISA functions.
Have a look through the LabVIEW examples (look in the help menu for "Find Examples") for plenty of serial examples. And remember to always close the port at the end of your application and don't use the Abort button on the toolbar to stop your application. Put everything in a While loop and use a boolean Stop button. The examples will show how to set this up.

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

  • Without NI DAQ device- how to get data from MSP into labVIEW and process it

    Hi,
    I do not have an NI DAQ device. I have an MSP430 and my sensor is an ADXL335 Accelerometer. How do I get data from my MSP into labVIEW and process it?
    Just looking for a nudge in the right direction. I'm having a hard time finding resources on labVIEW that don't involve NI specific DAQs. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Aziz

    There are many ways to get data into LabVIEW that do not involve NI-DAQ devices.
    I think your easiest option would be to stream it via serial port if the data rate isn't too fast.

  • How to extract data from Chart History?

    Dear all, I have read a lot of posts, but still don't understand how to extract data from Chart history.
    Suppose you acquired 1024 points of data every time, then use "build array" to build an array, then send to intensity chart to show, then save the history into a .txt file,  but how to extact data from the file?
    How Labview store the data in the 2D history buffer?
    Anybody has any examples?

    The simplest would be to save the 2D array as a spreadsheet file, the read it back the same way.
    Maybe the attached simple example can give you some ideas (LabVIEW 7.1). Just run it. At any time, press "write to file". At any later time, you can read the save data into the second history chart.
    If you are worried about performance, it might be better to use binary files, but it will be a little more complicated. See how far you get.

    I came across some documents from version 11113, says there is a SAP adapter, however ,when I check 11121 there's no such adapter, does anyone know how to extract data from SAP in FDM 11121?

    I download a package from Bristlecone, but I dont see any xml files in it, just a bunch of dll and I didn't find any instructions on how to set up/configure in FDM, it just explained how to register in SAP app server and client.

  • How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?

    How to select data from a table using a date field in the where condition?
    For eg:
    data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
    select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
                                                      and bdatu = '31129999'.
    thanks.

    Hi Ramesh,
    Specify the date format as YYYYMMDD in where condition.
    Dates are internally stored in SAP as YYYYMMDD only.
    Change your date format in WHERE condition as follows.
    data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
    select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
    and bdatu = <b>'99991231'.</b>
    I doubt check your data base table EQUK on this date for the existince of data.
    Otherwise, just change the conidition on BDATU like below to see all entries prior to this date.
    data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
    select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
    and <b> bdatu <= '99991231'.</b>

    RPJ,
    You do not need to use the Close Zip File.vi when you unzip a folder.  This VI is used when you are creating a zip folder.
    As for examples, I found a couple of ActiveX based MS Access examples.  These programs look to be pretty basic.  For more in depth example I would search Microsoft Developers Network

  • How to populate data from table into datagrid in form

    hi there. may i know how to populate data from a table into a datagrid? i have created a datagrid in a form using OLE's microsoft datagrid. i'm having problem to populate data from table into the grid. can i know how to do that? thanks

    Not exactly. I want to enter input from form and the user can have all options to choose i.e. HIGH, MEDIUM or so on.
    Suppose, you have option to select HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW and you can see all these options together. You select LOW and when you save, it is saves in the table as a value. So when you view the table again, it will show LOW as active and HIGH and MEDIUM are null.

    Hi,
    <li>Once you call the function module RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA, lets say data is available in the corresponding tables e_cell_data e_axis_data which you have mentioned.
