Hello Mahi,
I just jumped into this thread and remembered, that a few years ago I had a project to generate c-sources (actually header files to be included into c sources) to show custom made characters on an lcd display. As a side effect it creates what you need, a 3D- boolean array, where every 2D- portion holds a character.
With this program you can define the size of the character and alter it the way you need it. You can import a bmp- file with characters you need (e.g from a screen copy, must be a 1-bit bmp, black&white) and copy little frames from it to make work easier. If you click in the menu at "Fonts->Save Bool Spreadsheet" a text-file will be created which is in spreadsheet-style, where every cell (if you open it in Excel) consists of 0 and 1 according to the character. If you scroll down the front panel, you will find the 3D- Bool array which represents this data.
Just try it, the top-VI is "Fonts V2.vi", it should run properly. I put some screen-copy-bmp file and *.h- files into the zip to make the test easier for you.
I hope this helps,
Dave

How to simulate pwm wave using labview

has anyone have a built vi for pulse width modulation(PWM),or give me pointer in building its simulation

Hi,
If you just want to generate a PWM signal you can use a square waveform VI as shown in attachment. You can insert it directly in your code or create a subVI as you need.

How to implement wafer mapping using LabVIEW?

Hello LabVIEW Masters!
I am having an incoming project which includes controlling and gathering information from a PROBER. One of the difficulties I am having now is how to implement a WAFER MAP using LabVIEW. According to my customer requirements, the wafer element ranges from 6k to 23k. I guess doing all the element (one die = one led ctl/indicator) will be a hell of a task, especially on how to effectively manipulate each elements. Does anyone have better idea on how to this?
Please, I badly need your help..
Thanks and Regards,
Dennis DG

Hi Dennis,
Is it okay if you send to me the working VI also?
No, it's not ok. I made that program for my customer...
As I am not too familiar in using intensity graph.
That's no reason to hand over programs for free...
My customer also request me that if the cursor hover on the wafer map, he wants the x,y corrdinates to be displayed.
I also have such a feature. Did you notice the little yellow cursor near the center of the wafer? One could easily change that to use a MouseMove event instead...
He also wants to select some elements in the wafer map and come up with the coordinate values to do some testing.
That's related to the cursor thing...
Some points:
- You have a customer that pays you. Why should I offer work for free?
- You can send me contact dates of your customer, I will make him an offer...
- When you take an job to provide software you should be able to code the software...
- The VI(s) are now some years old. I didn't code so well back those days and don't want to hand out those VIs as they are right now.
- I included some "license management" deep inside that program, I would have to remove this and spend time on testing afterwards...
- The VIs are based on the PROBER output format used by the customer. All the file handling has to be changed for/by you...
Best regards,

How to create a database using LabView?

I have to figure it out how to do this, but .... no idea. Also i have to make a search in that database. If you can help me, i apreciate that or if you know a link on the web about something like this
Thanks,

Labview configuration files are very easy to use and can hold any type of information you wish. There are functions in the File palette ready to use for configuration files. A configuration file is similar to a registry entry. You can have sections and keys. So you can create a section called "Data1" and keys called "Name", "Age", etc. Create the same for a new section called "Data2", and so on. The functions are useful for writing the config file and reading from the file. To read a certain piece of data, just supply the section name and the key name. So you could ask for section "Data20", key "Name", and you would get the 20th name in the database (config file). This way you don't have to write code to search the database for certain items, the functions do it for you and they are already written. Look into config files. They are very easy to use, very useful, and very underused even by the most experienced LV programmer.

How to access parallel ports using LabVIEW?

I want to send data to a device which is connected through LPT1.when Iam using serial port write.vi with port number 10(for LPT1) it is giving an error code 37 which means the device not found. whether those vis are only for accessing serial ports? Then how to access LPT1 using LabVIEW?

Most likely you need to modify your labview ini file to let it know that LPT1 (or whichever) will be controled through the serial port control. See the following link for a knowledgebase answer to this question:

How to build anintractive questionare using labview

Hi everybody,
I am working on Curriculum Developement where I would like to come up with an automated LabView questionare as an alternative solution to existing paper-based questionaires. I'm interested in using labview but I have no idea how to begin. could someone please help me out.
I really,Really need this help.

Thank you so much Adnan,I know I may sound stupid asking these questions but its because I need help and would really love to use labVIEW and understand it even better (am not big in programming much less using text based languages,but I love labVIEW and would want to explore it even further! thats why I opted to use Labview in building this interactive and automated questionare).
This questionare should capture almost all the information that is required,thus it will include both detailed and one word answers. check boxes and radio buttons if possible. as you have pointed out,the questions should be put in a database and the corresponding answers also to be captured in a database for later analysis.
My labVIEW knowledge is not wide but am going through some materials at the moment plus your support and I hope to accomplish this within the shortest time possible.

How to view mdsplus data using labview

I posted this question in the Labview board, but seems nobody replies it so far. I am not sure which board is the best place to post this question. So I just reposted here. Thanks a lot.
I am a newbie to Labview. I am trying to write some vi to view and write data to Mdsplus. I have downloaded Mdsplus(labview), and can find the Mdsplus functions, like mdsconnect, mdsput, ect, in the Call Library Function vi. But I have no ideal of how to use it. I tried to use Mdsconnect function to connect to some machine, but it always gives me an error message like, Labview: An exception occurred within the external code called by a call library function node....... I was searching for help documents on the internet, but couldn't find anything useful. Could you please help me for this problem? If you have any example of such vi, or teach me how to do it, that would be very helpful. I am using Labview 8 (windows). I would greatly appreciate your help! Looking forward for your reply.
Solved!

How to control TTL device using LabVIEW?

I have a device which requires TTL (+5V) to control it to be on/off. How can I provide this TTL to it using LabVIEW? I guess I should install a PCI board in my computer to connect to this device, but how to do my LabVIEW coding to control it?

Hi,
First of all if your board is NI board after corect instalation you need to view this board in the section Devices & Interfaces from the NI program Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Also if the board is NI board or has the divers for LABView you need to find in the LabView the functions to command your board.
Other posibility is if your board is no't compatibile wi NI, in this case you need to extract from DLL, the function to command the board.

How to open program developed using labview 8.2 in labview 7.1?

Dear friends,
I need to open program developed by using labview 8.2 in labview 7.1.help me in this regard?

In order to open it up, you have to backsave it to 7.1. You would need to first save it to 8.0 and 8.0 can save it as a 7.1 file. Attach your VI and ask if someone can do it for you if you don't have the intermediate version.

How to detect baby crying using labview and webcam?

Hi, I am new to labVIEW. I have a project that it requires me to develope a application to detect various types of baby crying using labVIEW.The hardware we use will be webcam or kinect xbox 360. The system for my computer is windows 7. I used to try to create a threshold frequency to detect baby crying,but it not work well. So I want to ask what else method should I use to develop this application that can differentiate baby crying with other kind of sound( like normal talk, music...) correctly? As I just start learning labVIEW, hope the method to be easy to understand. Thanks.

This is not really a LabVIEW question, but a signal processing question. Do you have a set of crying sounds in order to be able to calibrate whatever algorthm you are trying to implement?
