Interfacing a USB signal in LabView

I am trying to acquire the signal from a Vernier LabPro USB connection with LabView. Any suggestions?

StefanM,
Thank you for your question regarding interfacing your Vernier LabPro with LabVIEW. Fortunatly the manufacturer of your instrument provides an instrument driver that is compatible with LabVIEW 6.1 and above. It provides examples and VIs that you can use to interface with your LabPro with LabVIEW. This instrument driver can be found at the following link.

Want to input interference signal in labview + perform bandpass filtering/demodulation

Hello to whom it may concern,
I have a fiber-based OCT system linked to a Tektronix TDS 2024B digital oscilloscope, with which is showing the interference fringes of the low-coherence lightsource. The signal is linked to the computer using the NI DAQ Board USB-6251. I want to input the fringes using Labview and not only that, but to perform a high-pass filter command, along with an active full-wave rectifier and a lowpass filter to see the group velocity of the interference pulse. Now I am new to using Labview so this question be a little elementary, however I am struggling here. Any helps are greatly appreciated.

Hello!
Basically you will need to measure a signal in LabVIEW and then perform some processing on it. First I suggest, if you haven’t, getting familiar to LabVIEW and DAQmx that are basically what you will use for acquisition. For processing, you might find useful some toolkits we have for filters and signal processing. I’m linking information on these subjects, if you wish, you can download them in evaluation mode and take a look at the examples on how to use those functions.

How to capture image from USB camera in Labview 2010

Hey all,
I am very new to Labview but am working on a project that requires me to use a sensor to send a signal to Labview to capture an image from a USB camera and save. Then apply some image processing to do some geometric calculations. The calculation will be based on pixels so I guess the image needs to be in bitmap form. Right now I am just trying to start with the image acquisition part and was wondering if this can be done in Labview 2010. I have the vision toolbox and NXT Robotics. Are there any examples on this website that will help and do I have te proper tools to do this? Once I get the image capture/grab to work using labview, then I could work getting a sensor signal to trigger that capture and finally the processing side.
Like I said, I am very new to this so I am not sure if I need to download any particular drivers or vi's that I am missing or what those might be. Can someone provide some insight, links, or any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Hi wklove,
In order to do vision with LabVIEW you need to to have the Vision development module and have NI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) installed. It sounds like you are missing VAS you can download it here. Once you have this installed you should be able to see your camera in Measurement and Automation (MAX). After you are able to see the camera, take a look at the NI Example Finder by going to Help » Find Examples

Making another counter VI for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5

I want to create another counter for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5 as it is needed to calculate two speeds simultaneously.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The best way to do this is to use the counter. The counter counts
signals without having to interrupt the system or use the USB bus.
When you request the number of ticks that the counter has seen, a
request is thrown from the CPU to the USB line to the 6008, which then
asks the counter "How many ticks have you seen?" That number is
returned over the USB bus, goes to the CPU, and then displays on your
screen. Since the DIO lines on the 6008 are software timed, there is
no way to guarantee that the data returning to the CPU is
deterministic. The conceptual difference between software-controlled
DIO (which nondeterministically returns an entire data stream) and a
software-tick-request-controlled counter (which returns a single number
with the number of ticks) prevents us from using the DIO lines on the
6008. The cheapest way to count more edges is to purchase more 6008s.
Another possibility would be to purchase a PCI counter board such as
the PCI-6602, which has 8 counters. The most counters we offer in the
USB form factor is 2 per device.

You haven't shown us any code, so we don't know which columns you're using. However, you should be aware that Excel and LabVIEW use different epochs: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8733.
Thanks smercurio the link appears to be broken so anyone who tries just remove the "." at the end.

Simulate ECG signal in LABVIEW

Hi,
I am a new user of LABVIEW. I want to get ECG Signal from LABVIEW and give it to MULTISIM, where I am creating a SPICE netlist for a filter design.
I have installed LABVIEW, MULTISIM and the Biomedical Toolkit. I also have installed Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit and Digital filter design toolkit.
In the MULTISIM, under Instruments I am not able to see the LABVIEW icon. I am using 2013 version with windows 7. Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks,
Deepa

I use this occasionally so I don't have to worry with LabVIEW while in Multisim.
Good luck.

How can I capture live video and still image by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView ?

Dear forum members
   I'd like to design a user interface which shows a live video and capture still images for it by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView or NI Vision Toolkit, how can I do this ? and If this is possible How can I reach the webcam DirectX filter properties and set them using LabView ? I would be grateful to anyone Who lead me to the correct solution.
    Sincerely
    Cem DEMiRKIR

Cem,
    With our example programs you can acquire and save an image (IMAQ >> File Input and Output >> Snap and Save to File.vi) from one camera, if you double the VI's to create the image and the image task, you can easily have one program acquire and save for two cameras.
    I may need more information on what you mean by calibration. Do you mean basic camera setup? That can be done in Measurement and Automation Explorer by setting up the options within the IMAQ settings for each camera. Or do you mean more complex calibration for special types of images? The more description of what you mean, the better I will be able to help you get it done. You mentioned zoom and motion parameters, what kind of motion? Our vision drivers only control triggering the camera to acquire, then analyzing, processing and displaying the resulting image.
    If you have more details on exactly what you want to do, that would be great. Let me know if you have more questions, thanks!

Does anyone know how to comunicate with a USB port using labview 6?

Does anyone know how to comunicate with a USB port using labview 6?

Unfortunately, there is no way to communicate directly with a USB port before LabVIEW 7.0 and VISA 3.0. With the new releases, there are functions called "VISA USB Control In" and "VISA USB Control Out" that give you direct access to a USB port.
You can definitely communicate with DAQ, Serial, or GPIB devices that are connected through a USB port, though. This is done seamlessly through the NI-DAQ, NI-Serial, and NI-488.2 drivers.

Accessing a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW

I am trying to access a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW. I see that this issue has been posted before...has anyone come up with a solution?

Microsoft's DirectX, free via MSDN, is a set of development libraries for high performance games avilable in both a VB and C++ SDK. Input from USB joysticks is supported in the DirectInput portion of the SDK.
The ActiveX object for the VB flavor will NOT work with LV. It initially appears to work. You can make an activeX connection but the input device objects are created dynamically from device enumerations and LV requires objects to be defined at connection time.
However, if you are up to it, (I am severely C syntax challenged), you could probably use the LV call library node along with the C++ SDK to make the DLL calls.
If your budget allows, these guys:
http://www.xon.de/reference/XOnMultimedia/_XmmJoy_VIs.html
sell a DirectX based LV multimedia
toolkit that appears to support Z-axis joysticks. Their website is a little messed up and the German description for the toolkit is coming up on the english side. This link is the english documentation for the toolkit. Maybe if you poke around you can get 100% english. If not you can contact Peter Prinzen [ [email protected] ]for further info. I think it was $45 USD about 4 months ago. Good Luck.

Catching POSIX signals with labview

Hi,
is there a way to catch POSIX signals with LabVIEW.
Im building a LabVIEW Client (Linux AND Windows) to a non LV Server
(Linux, C). All works fine except the catching of the interrupts sent
by the server. The server sends interupts using POSIX signals. For full
functionality I should be able to catch this signals. How can I do
that?
Thanks for your help

Interesting project!
I looks like a few people have tackled decoding the data (both WWV and WWVB) using reciever modules that create a digital signal stream and Arduinos to decode the data.
How about GPS based time? Here is reciever/decoder module that provides a decoded serial data stream:

Filtering a RF Signal in Labview

I created a signal in labview using I and Q data from separate text files. I need to add in a transmit filter but everything I try does not work. I am using a PXI 1045 with signal generation upconversion and downconversion capabilities. Does anyone have a vi that shows how to filter a signal created from I and Q data files.
Thanks

Hi jstarustka,
The solution to your problem lies with the Modulation Toolkit. The Modulation Toolkit contains tools for working with complex I and Q signals in software, including pulse-shaping and matched filters for modulation and demodulation applications, respectively.\
I'm attaching a screenshot of the MT Generate Filter Coefficients VI in LabVIEW, showing QAM Root Raised Cosine filter generation.

You have not provided the vendor's name, the programming manual, or the code you have been trying.
Test the commands in the manual with a terminal emulation program such as Hyperterminal, TerraTerm, etc. and then try them with one of serial example programs that come with LabVIEW. Post back with specific problems and include any error codes you get.
