Instrument I/O Assistant (sending command from labview to arduino)

Hi,
I am a beginner in Labview. I would like to control the intensity of AC loads using labview. In this case, i would prefer to use instrument I/O assistant. The instrument I/O assistant in labview will have to send a command to Arduino. The intensity will be controlling by using slider in labview. How to write the vi for this example? Please advice.

In the thread for your other post, you were told that LabVIEW installs by default example programs on how to use LabVIEW with serial port.
Have you bothered looking at that?
You need to do some work on your own.

Send serial from LabVIEW to 8051 mc

Actually wat i need is. My project is online temperature control. I'm receiving my dac value tat means temperature from rtd is getting in LabVIEW using 8051 board. But now I need feedback error voltage to send mc from LabVIEW. Tat means if my condition is true I have to send port on tat means 5v if my condition false I have to send 0v tat means port off

Your question does not seem directly related to LabVIEW or serial communication. You program the micro to send 0/5 volts. What you write to the micro from LabVIEW is up to you and how you write the micro code. Send ascii text (i.e. ON/OFF) that your micro decodes or a single character (i.e 0/1). What have you tried and where are you stuck?

Send command from my own application

Hi,
I have some problem to send commands to �Instrument�, which connect to computer via GPIB card.
I use my own application with advanced script language and 16-bit GPIB ISA card, OS � Windows 2000. I have send to �Instrument� command as string.
Here is fragment of code :
�
LoadLib(�gpib-32.dll�) <-- Loading DLL
RunLibFunc(handler, , ) <-- Running function from DLL
�
- the name of function from DLL � should be something like �Send�
- array of arguments for the function : GPIB card ID, GPIB address of �Instrument�, my string, and something else �
Please Help me to find exactly commands syntax and the way to use it.
Thanks in advance

Dennis is correct, you can find information about the functions in the help file.
You can also find a list of functions in the "NI 488.2 Function Reference":

Send Data from Labview-Program to Twitterfeed

Hi,
I would like do havbe a nice-to-handle way to look at some experimental data from home. As am a frequent "twitterer" I wondered whether I can send numerical values from Labview to a twitterfeed.

Hi Phil.
This sounds like fun! While I have no experience with twittefeed, it sounds like you [just] need to satisfy the rules/expectations of their API.
Since LabVIEW 7.1 implements low-level TCP/IP functions, it should be possible to satisfy any interface requirements.
On the other hand, is that really necessary?
[From the API page] Notice the fourth bulleted item...
The Easiest Way to Play Around with the Twitter API
If your system has curl (and it should!), you’ve already got a great way to poke around the Twitter API. Here are some examples:
Get the public timeline, unauthenticated: curl http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
Get your friends timeline, authenticated: curl -u email:password http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml
Just the headers, please: curl --head -u email:password http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.json
Post a status update, authenticated: curl -u email:password -d status="your message here" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
This seems to be using a utility ('curl') to post/update via a command-line interface(?) This could certainly be automated with LabVIEW - does it look promising?
Cheers.

Calling a shell command from LabVIEW

Platform:
Labview 8.6 on Fedora 10.
The VI is generating some data that I wish to convert to a form that a Windows user can work with (with CR/LF as the EOL). Is there a way to issue a shell command (specifically: $unix2dos <generated file name>) from within labview ?
Solved!

Hi,
have you tried the "System Exec" function? According to context help it should work on UNIX too...
Btw. you have asked a related question in an other thread. Wouldn't converting the string data in the VI itself work? Or making a special VI for that purpose and enable the conversion by a switch (like "Win compatible format?")?

Does Instrument I/O Assistant only work in the activated version of LabView 8.0 and not in evaluation version?

I'm using the LabVIEW 8.0 evaluation CD and every time I try using the Instrument I/O Assistant I get this error message "Measurement and Automation Explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly. Please install these from the LabVIEW Driver CD." So I tried installing both from the Device Driver CD and still it didn't work. I also tried uninstalling all NI softwares and components and reinstalled everything from the LabVIEW evaluation CD and Device Driver CD and still the same result.
I was wondering maybe the Instrument I/O Assistant will only work after I activate LabVIEW. Is this the reason why I can't use it or does Instrument I/O Assistant also work even if I'm only using the evaluation version? Please help!

Glynster -
Yes, Instrument I/O Assistant does work with the evaluation version of LabVIEW 8.0. However, you need to install Instrument I/O Assistant from a version of the National Instruments Device Driver CD that shipped with LabVIEW 8.0 (or later).
NOTE: The link provided for Instrument I/O Assistant 1.0.1 DOES NOT work with LabVIEW 8.0. It is only for LabVIEW 7.x.
You will need to obtain a Driver CD to get Instrument I/O Assistant to work with LabVIEW 8.0

You will probably find a solution using the Report generation VIs. You can create a report, insert any data and text you wish, and print it either on the default printer or on a named printer. The report generation VIs are at the bottom of the Programming palette.

Controlling Tera Term from labview

Hi guys
In my new project I would like to send commands to Tera Term Pro. Tera Term then responds to the commands from Labview the same way as I would type the commands directly into Tera Term.
I'm able to use cmd.exe with the SystemExecute Vi, but for my program I would like to do the same with Tera Term.
I would like to send commands with a stringcontrol and get the respond in a string indicator, all in labview. Tera Term should run invisible in the background.
So for this I thought using ActiveX would be the best. I have downloaded tera term pro.
In Labview I create this from the ActiveX Palette and select browse on the ActiveX Class.
In the Tera Term folder I find many .dll's:
I have tried to open them all, but I only get this message:
Does this mean it's impossible to use Tera Term with Labview like I described?
I'm not so familiar with ActiveX, only with Excel (which is in the ActiveX Class list), so I might have missed something.
My goal was to create a sub-vi which does the communication with Tera Term, the same way SystemExecute VI is built.

Sorry for this late reply. I have been using Teraterm Macro (not Teraterm Pro serial terminal) to interface with my previous provisioning app written in LabVIEW.
Teraterm Macro is such a lifesaver in that it can easily interface with your development boards that need: (1) RS-232C, (2) FTP, (3) TFTP or (4) SSH connections. The plain-vanilla 'serial' VI's are just that - serial port only and those need additional code to work reliably. If you need a good serial port VI try Prabhakant Patil's Hyper Terminal for LV 2009 and newer. You will find an ZIP or VIPM package from LAVA (lava.org). I have used his versions countless of times and is 10x more reliable than provided in LV examples.
You will indeed use the System-Exec.VI to call Teraterm Macro since *sigh* no one has written a wrapper for the DLLs (as you mentioned they are built for .Net framework. I have talked with the current developers and they are willing to give anyone the pass to extend Teraterm for LabVIEW so C++ devs out there with good LabVIEW knowledge should re-build the DLLs as static libraries that can be called from within LabVIEW. For now, this is the only way and it is a kludge - but it works - just not in a way you expect.
Here you can see that I am building the command line arguments before I call the system-exec node. Refer to the excellent how-to instructions at:
http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/manual/en/macro/commandline.html
Teraterm Macro will be spawned (opened) like it would when called from the command line. Its std input & output are not tied to your VI. You can merely pass arguments to the system-exec node. This is the reasons why we need someone to recompile the Teraterm Macro DLL as a static library (anyone?) so we can build a wrapper VI around the functions. Then its std inputs and outputs can be tied to LabVIEW's controls and indicators - hence, it becomes LV native.

How to load a curve and the view automatically in diadem from labview ?

Hello,
I want to automate a system for processing and analyzing data and for that I am using labview.
I recently discovered software diadem and already I am able to send data from labview.
I would now like to obtain a curve directly in the "view" is that possible?

Hello Beneuss,
You can create a layout template in VIEW, save it to disk and then load it when DIAdem is started. These two lines will automatically load a VIEW layout called "Example" and display the VIEW window.
Call View.LoadLayout("Example.tdv")
Call WndShow("VIEW")
To automatically have a curve show up in VIEW, make sure that you assign the correct curves in the VIEW layout before you save the layout. This is done with the drag&drop functionality from the DataPortal. Just assign the channel you wish to see, and then save the layout. It will "remember" all the channel assignments and automatically show all the channels you had assigned, as long as you don't change the channel names.
Please let me know if that helps and if there is anything else we can help you with.

Instrument I/O Assistant with PXIe-1062Q

Hello,
I'm using a PXIe-1062Q with LabVIEW 2009 installed on it. In the Measurement & Automation Explorer the chassis is visible, as well as the two PXIe-6363 cards I built in. Even th self test of the 6363 works without any failures.
My Problem is, that after if I insert an Instrument I/O Assistant 1.01 in LabVIEW, and click on Select an instrument, the two PXIe-6363 don't appear in the list. Only Com1 and LTP1 is listed.
What shall I do? Thank you very much for your support!
Kind regards, Michael

The 6363 is programmed with DAQmx functions. You would use the DAQ Assistant.

Executing a dos command from java in windows nt

i need to execute the
" net send"
command from the command line in windows nt, from within my java program... is there any way that i can execute cmommands in the dos command shell? or rather, does anybody know a way i can send a message ( in windows ) from java, from one computer to another over the lan?? I cannot have a java programming running on all the other computers, so i cannot make my program serve, it must just send the messges using a lan command....
(the net send command just sends a message in the form of a pop up box on the receiver's screeen)
thanks a bunch guys!!!
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

you can do that with exec() in Runtime.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(command here);but before you do that you need to read this:
