Installation of Lab view 8.20, DAQ Assistant has disappeared & Instrument I/O Assistant cant be used

After upgrading to Lab view 8.20 and on a 8.20 new install I
notes’ that
DAQ Assistant has disappeared from the tool pallet completely.
Also that Instrument I/O Assistant cant be used or
configured and produces an error
“NI Measurement & Automation Explorer or the Instrument
I/O Assistant is not correctly installed. Please install these from the Driver
CD”
I have checked both of these and all parts are fully installed
and I cant fined what part of the Full version of Labview would course this
problem.
Would a completely new installation with default settings
clear the problem, what has coursed these tools to be not avalible.

Hi Trevor
You need to load on the Drivers for DAQmx, if you have a CD you can load them on from there otherwise the link to download NIDAQmx 8.3 is:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/7feaee6a4b4aa836862571c00064e6ca
There is a order in which you must load things on for everything to work correctly,
LabVIEW --->> Modules & Toolkits --->> Drivers
This should solve your issue

SAP GUI 710 installation with BW 3.5 addon - BW Browser has disappeared

Dear all,
I hope someone can help with a BW 3.50 add-on problem following SAP GUI patching.
I'm doing a local installation of SAP GUI 710 Compilation 3.
I have selected the following three options:
1. SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 (Compilation 3)
2. BW 3.50 Add-On for SAP GUI 7.10
3. Business Explorer
(We require both BW add-ons for version reasons.)
Following this I have applied the SAP GUI Level 13 Patch (gui710_13-10002995.exe).
Up to this point, everything works as expected and I can still see the BW Browser at Start --> Programs --> Business Explorer --> Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) --> Browser (SAP BW 3.x)
However, when I apply the BW 3.50 Add-On Level 6 Patch (bw350gui710_6-10004473.exe) the Browser disappears from the menu and I can't locate it anywhere. A reboot wasn't required although I did this anyway with no visible effect.
I did try uninstalling everything and attempted the same process, but with SAP GUI Patch Level 12, and combinations with BW 3.50 Add-On Patch Level 4 but with the same result.
Has anyone else come across this issue, or know what has happened?
Thanks.

We have a similar setup, utilizing all 3 as you do.
Since we are currently at Browser patch 4, eventually headed to patch 6, I threw your situation into our VM enviroment and tested the installation of Browser patch 6. Interesting enough, a clean install of Windows XP, Office 2003, and then GUI 7.10 with patch 13 and Browser 3.5 sp4 works as normal. Once I applied SP6 for the Browser, I still have the icon under the Start menu but the wdbbapp.exe is gone.
Thanks to the VM test enviroment, I was able to recreate the scenario in a few moments and this time prior to installing the patch 6 for the Browser, I set it up to catch all the changes the SAP installer makes when applying sp6.
The installation performed the following activity:
13 files added
4 files deleted
141 files updated
363 registry entries added
522 registry entries deleted
129 registry entries updated
Of the 4 files deleted, one of them is the BEx Browser (wdbbapp.exe) - which is why my shortcut won't work
Of the 13 added, none of them are the file being replaced.
Of the 141 modified, none are this file either.
I am still going through the log but have not seen anywhere it will make a difference if the file is not there.
Again, I am not saying there is a problem, perhaps they changed the way it is accessed, I am not fully up on the process of the BEx Browser. SAP may have something mentioned about it on their GUI/BEx site or a note, this is just my preliminary findings.

Zecher

PCI-6251 into LABVIEW DAQ Assist block interruptions and resets

Signals being received from PCI-6251 into a LABVIEW DAQ Assist block interrupts and resets every 10 seconds after 1 minute of data acquisition. Would this be a memory buffer problem or is it something related to the hardware? I am using a BNC-2110 hardware connector. Please view the attached image.

Hey Peter,
Ahh, I understand the graph now! Hmm, this is very strange behavior. Instead of using the DAQ Assistant, try to use the explicit DAQmx VIs (see picture). You have more explicit control over what is going on with the DAQmx VIs and keep as much as you can out of the loop.

Erik

Dc input offset voltage, bias current using lab view

hi all
my lecture has asked me to write a lab vbiew program that can measure the 741 operational amplifer dc input offset volage, its bias current. i totally do not have an ideal how to do this because i am new to lab view programming.
i have design the hardware and connected to using the ni elvis instrument, but i do not know how to write a lab view program that can help me take these. readings without been done manually using and oscilloscope.
please help guys

Hello augusta,
Many thanks for your post, I have some information that I think you will find useful.
The link below is a link to our LabVIEW Getting Started page that will allow you to get to grips with the LabVIEW environment and basic programming.
http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/labviewbasics/
In terms of ELVIS, the following link may also help
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/12964
In terms of example coding, using the Find Examples from the LabVIEW getting started screen and then using Hardware Input and Output>> DAQmx>> and then selecting one of voltage examples there will also be if use.
Many thanks and good luck!

Mutiple readings from Express DAQ Assistant VI

Hello All!
First I'm a fresh noob to LabView and although I understand most of the basic concepts, I'm also new to programming in general. I'm working on a project to remotely monitor several different parameters of a system. Right now I'm working on a test program to monitor three parameters in my shop across the street. I'm using a NI USB-6008 as a DAQ device, DAQmx 8.0 and LabView 8.0. All of my input signals are 4-20 mA signals coming from my three sensing devices.
Here's my problem; I need to monitor all three signals on digital displays. I can accomplish this by using three different instances of the express DAQ assistant but then I get the dreaded "50103 error" unless I wire the stopped output of one assistant to the stop input of the next in a feedback loop and even then I get the 50103 error on the first iteration of the loop. From my research I understand that this isn't the correct way to program this. I should use one DAQ assistant with multiple channels assigned to each one of my parameters. I've did this but now how do I make each one read out on an individual digital display? I only have one output from my DAQ assistant.

Hi George,
Use split signal in the signal manipulation functions menu to get your 3 individual singals on respective indicators
Regards

How to open Viewer from other apps? - App 'URL Scheme' has disappeared from Viewer Builder!

Hello
The 'URL Scheme' option in the Viewer Builder did let me to specify a url that made other apps open my viewer. But this option has disappeared from the newer version of Viewer Builder. So. How do I do now to let other apps open my viewer?

Is there a spacial reason that the URL scheme option was taken away from ordinary Multi-issue viewers? It was there in earlier version. I'll explain our situation:
Our client want to publish corporate information; annual reports etc, with DPS. Not really magazines or newspapers you subscribe to.
We are making another app where they publish news articles, videos etc. In that app, we want to have a link which opens the viewer with their publications.
To make this simple thing work, we have to create a 'subscription' to content which is not relly good for subscribing (it is free and announced with push anyway). We also have to tell the client to create Privacy Policys etc for this. A lot of hassle for something we do not really want.
Any chance that this option will come back in v19?

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
Martin

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.

Getting error messages upon startup after installing Lab View 5.1.1.

I have recently purchased a DAQ system along with a computer, which uses a readout program written in Lab View. however, after installing Lab View 5.1.1 on this same system, I started getting some error messages and the readout program no longer works. Here are the error messages:
"The \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\nidmmk.dll device driver could not locate the entry point ?single PointWrite@mdsSimpleDIGPortPrimitive@@UAEXKKKAAJ@Z in driver Nidaq32K.sys"
as well as
"The ordinal 2011 could not be located in the dynamic link library nidaq32.dll. An error occurred while loading VT Digital buffer write.vi"
I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Hello,
Installing LabVIEW should not effect an installation of NI-DAQ. However, it seems to me that we may have installed a different version of NI-DAQ on top of the current version. This is very possible because the old LabVIEW CD�s contain NI-DAQ on them.
In this case, there is not an easy solution, we could try uninstalling and reinstalling combinations, but it will probably save the most time and effort to uninstall all National Instruments products and reinstall them. The best way to do so is from the ADD or REMOVE Programs utility from the Control Panel. Then we want to remove the following registry keys (BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY!!)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments <-- Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments <-- Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and delete registry entries containing any keys with 1093 in them.
Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed. If you have Administrative rights, and you still cannot delete these keys, that is also OK. Continue with the remainder of the process.
Make sure that you do not have any of your own VIs or other files saved in the "C:\VXIpnp", "C:\Program Files\National Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a different location. If you are concerned about keeping old virtual channels and your SCXI setup intact, then backup the "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq" file, too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.
Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace "C:\Windows" with "C:\WINNT" in the paths listed above.
Once these steps are taken care of, we should have clean system. You probably want to reboot and then reinstall the software. You should install development environments first, and then install drivers.
Just let us know if this does not take care of the problem, or if you have any questions on how to complete a step of the process.
Best regards,

How to configure a shell and tube heat exchanger with Lab VIew to get data

HiI
In our undergraduate chemical engineering labboratory we want to configure our shell and tube heat exchanger with a DAq and Lab VIEW to get information about the temperaure (of the cold fluid stream being heated), the pressure (of the steam on the shell side of the heat exchanger) and the flowrate (of the water being heated).
Can anyone suggest thermocouples, pressure transducers and flowmeters to fit between the heat exchanger and the DAq?
P.S. the heat exchanger is already fitted with thermometers, a pressure gauge and a rotameter but we don't know how to connect these hardware to the DAq
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like you have enough information to pick out appropriate sensors, you just need to do the research. I would start looking through the Omega catalog, or give them a call - they're usually helpful. I can't take the time to spec out parts for you - that would be a lot of time spent on someone else's project. Most pressure sensors put out either a 4-20mA or 0-5V signal, either of which you can read through an analog input on a DAQ; measuring a 4-20mA signal requires a resistor to convert to voltage. Most of the NI DAQ boards can read a thermocouple on an analog input, but make sure that your hardware does support reading thermocouples. For accurate readings, use a device that has built-in cold junction compensation - for example, the SCB-68 connector block - and for the most accurate readings, get a board specifically designed for temperature measurement.
For the flow measurement, a standard, simple solution is an orifice plate. You put a differential pressure transducer across it, look up the appropriate equations, and use them to calculate the flow rate given the density of the fluid (which you'll be able to calculate from the pressure and temperature, since steam tables are widely available). There are other differential pressure devices available as well - at a previous job we used a V-Cone from McCrometer. If you call them they'll spec one for you - but get an approximate cost first to make sure it's within your budget.

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

Hi Arika,
The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
I hope this information helps.

Error message from labview when trying to set up the DAQ assistant

I recieve a message from labview when I try to set up the DAQ assistant and select a channel to use. The error I get states "An exception occured within the external code called by a Call Library Node. This might have corrupted LabView's memory. Save any work to a new location and restart labview". Labview then freezes. I have reset the DAQ device in trying to slove this but I still get the same message. How do I solve this?? thanks - mars2006

Hi Mars-
It sounds like your NI-DAQ installation may have become corrupted. I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the DAQmx 7.4 driver to correct this problem and ensure that you're up to date. This download is available here: NI-DAQ 7.4
If the problem persists you may want to uninstall and reinstall LabVIEW and then NI-DAQ in that order. The error message will usually give an indication as to which VI the error occurred in. Please let us know which VI is failing if you're unable to avoid the error with these suggestions.
Have a good day-

What is your question? You've described what the program is supposed to do, but it's not clear what you're asking about. Do you need help getting started? If so, have you gone through the LabVIEW tutorials? You and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free. Have you looked through the many examples that ship with LabVIEW for data acquisition?
