  • Installing labview before DAQ card?

    Hi,
    We've just bought LabView 8.2 and a new DAQ card, PCI 6281 M series...
    What I was wondering was whether there is any order in which these need to be installed. At the moment there is no pre-existing version of LabView or DAQ Software on the computer.
    I have just read that the drivers that came with the DAQ card need to be installed before the card is inserted into the PC, but am not sure if LabView is supposed to be installed before or after the card or if it even makes any difference.
    Thanks,
    Harry

    Thanks!!

  • Why is AI Continuous Scan.vi causing LabView 6.0 to run at such a slow rate?

    I am working on a 6 degree-of-freedom load application system.  It is forced controlled by pneumatic actuators operated using servovalves in a closed loop force controlled feedback system. The machine is instrumented with displacement (LVDTs and RVDTs) and force transducers (load cells and strain gage torque cells) so I can obtain measurements of all degrees-of-freedom (3 rotations and 3 translations).
    The user interface to operate the machine has been designed on LabView 6i.  I know this is an outdated version - but half of the code was written previously, so I wanted to simply update and add to its functionality.  It runs on a Dell Optiplex GX260 Computer running Windows 2000.
    What I do with LabView is input a control file that contains a series of clutch activations, loading parameters, and data collect on/off options to manipulate the machine.  This seems to run very well and FAST (about 25 seconds for 15 lines of code).  However, when I choose to acquire the data from our load and displacement sensors - this becomes VERY slow (about 12 minutes for the same 15 lines of code).  I have been trying different things out with the code to no avail.  First, everything that can be is running in parallel loops.  Second, I disabled loops that aren't required when we are running the control file.  Third, I omitted all signal processing that occurs (this is where we convert the voltages from the load and displacement transducers to actual force and distances using calibration coefficients).  However, nothing is speeding up the data acquisition.   
    Currently we have two DAQs (a PCI-6023E and PCI-6040) for data acquisition.  I am only currently using the PCI-6023E board. I am using the NI provided .vi AI Continuous Scan (waveform).vi.  I would like to sample at 100 Hz (scan rate) and have a buffer size of 1000 and a number of scans to read at 10.  Prior to the data acquisition the user  chooses what load and displacement channels he/she would like to acquire data from.  It is rare that more than 2 channels are being acquired from at a single time (usually a single load and single displacement channel).  Only the user selected channels are passed to AI Continous Scan (waveform).  I have the iteration input variable wired to the iteration terminal of my while loop, so AIConfig and AIStart only configure the first time. 
    So how this works is the control file looks for a "data_collect" phrase set to "on" and then the parallel data acqusition loop is activated.  The file control loop is matched to the data acquisition loop using a "Wait on Occurrance." 
    I am attaching several VIs.  The main executable I run is called KBiii_Esther.vi.  This runs many subVIs to configure the experiment, etc.  The file control is activated in the file control loop and runs using the do_file_control.vi.  Finally, the data acquisition is activated in a seperate parallel loop and runs the do_acq_wave.vi.  This is where I believe the problem lies.
    Questions:
    1) Does anyone have any ideas why the data acquisition is slowing everything down?  AND do you have any ideas or suggestions as to how to fix this problem?  Is it the reading of the data or the writing to a spreadsheet that slows everything down? 
    2) Does anyone have any suggestions for better buffer size and  number of scans to read values to optimize performance?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    To many sub VIs could not be found so I can not give you more than some advises. But I see that you run all your loops at full speed. I do not think it is very wise. Insert the "wait (ms)" functions in all while loops, but not the loops handling the daq functions. Since they are controlled by a occurrence. In Loops handling user input only you may set the wait time as high as 500ms. In more important loops use shorter time.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • LabView install: error writing to file .../cviengerror.ver

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install LabView and I keep stumbling on this error: "Error writing to file: C:\Windows\system32\cvrite\bin\English\cviengerror.ver"
    I've tried reinstalling the application a few times while running the installer as an admin but to no avail. I've checked that the directory is created and I was able to add new files to it and delete them so I don't think this is a permition problem. I'm thinking the PC needs a third party software updated but I have no clue which one it is. Does anybody have an idea on how to proceed?
    Thanks

    HI!
    I am Collin de Wit, an Application Engineer at National Instruments. If I undertsand correctly you are trying to install LabVIEW 2014 (64 bit) and during that installation you are receiving this error?
    There are at this moment three things we can verify:
    - Is there any anti virus software turned one which might block this feature during installation?
    - Are you running the installer as Admin or are you logged in as an Admin? (This is a difference for windows)
    - Is this a clean install, or are there older versions or other versions of LabVIEW installed on this computer?
    Hope to hear from you to continue troubleshooting with you!
    Best regards,
    Collin de Wit

  • Must have LabVIEW installed on your computer to call a VI from SignalExpress?

    I am a student trying to finish up a class project, so I'm hoping for a solution that's not too time-consuming, nor expensive.
    My problem is that I have a device that outputs a 9-pin RS232, and I just learned that I can't really connect it to my DAQ device (USB-6211) through just ground/tx/rx pins. I was told in the forums that if I get a USB-RS232 converter (because my laptop doesn't have RS232 ports), I might be able to create a VI in LabVIEW to use as a user-defined step in SignalExpress, which came with my DAQ device.
    I don't have LabVIEW on my computer; however, I do have access to it on school computers. If I create a VI on another computer, specifying the appropriate COM ports and whatnot, will I be able to import it into SignalExpress on my computer despite not having LabVIEW installed?
    Or, does anyone know if there's any way I can use the RS232-USB converter and find that comport directly in SignalExpress? I've looked in the help, but from what I can tell, SignalExpress communicates directly to the USB-6211, and not to any other COM ports I might have on my computer. This would be a much simpler and easier solution, if it were feasible. Thank you!

    Hey Hyenah,
    I think Chris from the last forum answered the question quite well with the knowledge base article.
    You should be able to use the labVIEW run-time engine, and then follow the Knowledge base article to make it work.

  • While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?

    While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
    Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
    When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
    Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?

    Hello John!
    Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
    It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
    This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
    or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
    An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
    Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
    Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
    1.Erase the volume
    2.Install Mountain Lion clean
    3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
    4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
    If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
    That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
    Yes.
    This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

    looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

  • "Install new ink cartridges to continue." Error

    After just installing new ink cartridges, my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One has the audacity, the gall, and the nerve to tell me that I need to "Install new ink cartridges to continue."! Now why, oh why, in the Wild World of Wonka, would my printer do that? Doth mine eyes deceive me, or does my printer hate me? I can imagine no other reason why it would do this. Perhaps I am overreacting, but I feel genuinely insulted: I didn't have the ink cartridges refilled like some people do, and I bought all-new ink cartridges.

  • Is there a way of compiling a VI so that it runs on a PC without Labview installed?

    Is there a way of compling/exporting/publishing a finished VI so that it runs on another PC without LabVIEW installed on it?
    Message Edited by bluefocs on 04-29-2009 10:34 AM

    You will always need the LabVIEW Runtime Engine of exactly that version the VI was built in.
    Every VI is executable in the appropriate runtime engine without the need for the developement system.
    In order to start the execution of a VI without using the developement system, you most often use .exe or sometimes .dll as files. And i think you are up to this.
    You need the LV Application Builder to build an exe or dll containing your application. The Application Builder is part of the LV Professional Developement System, the other ones (Base and Full) can include it as an extra tool (liable to pay costs).
    hope this helps,

  • Running Labview-teststeps without having Labview installed

    Hello,
    is it possible to create a Teststand-testplan with Labview-teststeps and to run it  _without_ having Labview installed?
    Do i always need a Developer-Labview or is a Labview-Runutime enough to run the Tesplan?
    Thx

    Hi,
    If you are using TestStand 3.x, then you can setup the LabVIEW adapter to use the LabVIEW RTE or a LabVIEW ActiveX Runtime Server. If you are using TestStand 2.0.x then you can only use the Runtime Server.
    The User Manual, will help you to setup the LabVIEW adapter.
    Off course you will still need the correct LabVIEW RTE version installed on your Target machine to match the version of your VI's..

  • Please install Flash Player HD to continue

    When I start my computer I frequently get a screen showing "Please install Flash Player HD to continue"
    Is this legitimate or malware?

    There is no "Flash Player HD" from Adobe. Flash Player will play HD video if the video embedded is HD.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player (Mac OS X)
    THOSE are the "legitimate" installers.
    In Windows, go to: Control Panel>System and Security>Flash Player (32bit)>Advanced to check your version.
    In Mac OS X, go to: System Preferences>Flash Player>Advanced.
    The current version is 11.9.900.152
    If yours is lower than that, use the appropriate link(s) above to update.
    If you STILL see the update notices, you have malware producing them, but such malware wouldn't work on a Mac.

  • GPIB Labview NI-DAQ, Micro 1401 and Windows 7

    Does anyone know if:
    a) GPIB, Labview/NI-DAQ is essential for running a Micro1401 unit?
    b) If it is, will it work in Windows 7 please?
    Thanks loads!!!!!

    If you mean this then I cannot see any easy way of making it run in LabVIEW... unless you have an older version of the Micro1401 that has a GPIB interface?

  • During continuous scanning thermocouples with a SCXI 1120 module is the cjc reference read each scan?

    Did the developers of the DAQmx drivers improve the temperature scan capability of the SXCI 1120 module over the methods used in the traditional drivers?
    When using the SCXI 1120 module for temperature measurement and in the continuous scan mode with traditional drivers the cold junction reference was only checked on the initial start of the scan. In order to maintain accuracy it was necessary to restart the scan.
    For the most part I have switched to the 1125 module for thermocouple measurement but I need to use some 1120 modules on a test stand now and I will be using the DAQmx drivers on these. I was in hopes that with the DAQmx drivers this behavior was corrected.
    I can conduct testing to determine this but would like to know ahead of time if this is still an issue.
    Thanks

    Thank you Ben for the answer.
    I checked the article you referenced appears to me that I will be adding the physical address in the channel strings then do the voltage to temperature conversion and then correct the appropriate channels associated with the cjc in question. I will also need to adjust some on board jumpers for the SCXI 1120.  If I am wrong please correct me.
    If scanning the physical channel is possible as suggested in this article, would it not be possible to create the channel as a virtual global channel and reference it as the cold junction in Max? Then the temperature adjustment could be done at this level of acquisition rather than having to sort this out in the LabVIEW program. This takes me back to the days with LabVIEW 4.0 before we had the virtual channels and when we had to handle the temperature conversions and other scaling ourselves. Again if I am incorrect please let me know, for I would like to use the method recommended in the article if I don't have to perform all the calculations in the application.
    Just wondering if anybody reading this has actually used this method. If so, how did it work for you?
    I may end up building a start up routine testing for 1120 modules being used for thermocouple measurement then if found run a stop and restart scan every 5 minutes to prevent large errors from being introduced.

  • AI Continuous Scan.vi and channel inputs

    It seems that I am having difficulty connecting a DAQ Channel Name Constant to the channel input of the AI Continuous Scan.vi. Anyone know why the two data types are different?

    Currently you are connecting a string(DAQ Channel Name constant) to a terminal that requires 1-D array of strings. I'll recommend you introduce the Build Array function between the two terminals. In case you have more than one DAQ Channel Names, all you need to do is to adjust the Build Array function to the number of your channel names.
