Interfacing of hardware with labview

can u pls tell me the steps for interfacing a hardware wiht labview........ i mean to say the detailed descrpition....... for ex: interfacing keithley sourcemeter with labview....... pls do give me a detailed steps of interfacing

Start by downloading the LabVIEW driver, which is available in http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=7117
You should also make sure that the VISA driver is installed. It should have been part of your LabVIEW installation.
Or a shortcut location from the Keithley website is here:

Integrating custom PCIe hardware with LabView

Hi, I am new to LabView so appologize if question is in the wrong place.
I have a custom PCIe acquisition card that I want to use in LabView environment to postprocess some data. So far the board has been used successfully with its windows drivers and VS.NET software. What is the process for setting up a device like that in LabView? Can LabView use the COM object windows driver just like a Visual Studio project would? If yes, is there a document that explains how this is done?
I have worked with NI's own instruments where the driver is provided and seamlessly integrates into the LabView, but I am a bit lost with this custom non NI board.
Thank you.

Thanks. I tried searching that site for examples... but this is a board that our company has developed (software defined radio) and I am certain no one has written any drivers for it yet. Thats the problem statement that I am trying to research. What would it take to make the board we designed compatible with LabView. Since this is a Software defined radio platform, LabView offers some useful functions that can be used to postprocess and analyze data captured by our card.
Ideal goal is to have LabView module capture data from PCIe buffer allowing for further processing (filtering, FFT, demodulation, etc...). I would appreciate if you can direct me to some examples or literature on this topic.
Thanks,
Anton

Can I target the STM32 Primer2 hardware with LabVIEW for ARM

The STM32 Primer2 hardware looks very cool. Can LabVIEW for Arm target this hardware? From looking at the list of ARM devices supported by LabVIEW, this would appears to be a Tier 2 device (ARM Cortex-M3) with no support for TCP/IP or IO.
Can anyone tell me the feasibility or effort required to get TCP/IP, IO, and maybe even display support for this device?

Have you ever said something you wish you could take back after having time to reflect upon it? Another forum I like, http://newsbusters.org lets the author edit his posts for a short time. Maybe NI could to that and I would not be pulling out my foot so often.
Well, perhaps I was a bit more "colorful" than I meant to be. Frustration does that to me sometimes. Still the idea of a strong rope covered with disgusting risks does get the point across magnificently. I just wish I had saved it for something more suitable.
Let me think back to some of the problems I've had in which I've lost hours trying to figure out...
1. Can't use the Wait ms function. It halts the program. Express wait works fine. It was sprinkled throughout which made it hard to isolate.
2. Some sub VIs don't run unless they are checked as inline code. I don't yet understand why.
3. At the beginning of my main vi there was a small cluster in which I filled the data from an SD card file. I used a constant of the cluster on the input of the Bundle function, but because my program and variable sizes were near the max I changed a number of variable representations to save memory. ...But I didn't replace the constant. The program started exhibiting really strange behaviors. I couldn't even get a simple state machine to run. I was reduced to commenting out (disable structure) sections to find the problem before noticing the coercion dot on the input to the bundle (The dot against the red string color doesn't stand out very strongly which is why I missed it). Apparently it overwrote memory since the older cluster was significantly larger than the new.
4. Spent a lot of time trying to get the SD card to work with SPI functions. Even though I read that 2009 supported SD card file services I didn't intuitively understand how to wire up since the Open/Create/Replace function has a ref num output which actually connects to the file(use dialog) input of the read and write functions.
5. Had a problem with breakpoints and probes not working. That apparently was caused by item #3.
6. Typo bug in the Arm_irq.c file LM3Sxxxx_GPIOCAHandlerP to LM3Sxxxx_GPIOCHandlerP
Some of these are of the rope variety. A few are actual bugs. All probably could have been solved in moments had I a local guru. Anyway, I've spent hours and my hands hurt. I hope to have this little project working on the LM3s8962 today and after some hardware changes will port it over to the Primer2... Hopefully...
This forum has been a real help... especially your quick responses.
regards to all,
David

Interfacing Microchip ICD3 With Labview.

I need to select/browse the hex file from labview and need to dump on PIC IC. Is there any way to acheive this using labview? What are the different hardware we need for that. I do have a ICD installed in my PC.
What I need is for browsing and dumping the code I should use LV UI.
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

edit: As for hardware you would need an ICD3 or PICkit3.
Thanks for the reply. I have ICD3. Do I need to set a path? What is the input to the path input?

Custom Hardware with LabVIEW

Hi all,
We have a custom made DAQ card (ISA one). We are using "C language" to communicate with this card . Now we want to use LabVIEW for the same purpose. Is there any protocols we have to follow to do this? or any additional steps we have to take for this? Please guide us.
I am new to this thing. So please bare with me.
Thnaking you.
Vishal Shah

That would depend on how you access the card. You can use the LabVIEW "Inport" and "Outport" VIs to talk directly to a card (if you know what the I/O base address is). It may be better to build a C .DLL and the LabVIEW "Call Library" VI. Use what works best for your system and card.

Interfacing Vision Builder with Labview version 7.1

i can't export my design in Vision Builder version 7.0 to Labview version 7.1 using the Create Labview VI under the Tools tab as taught in the demo on this website. please advise. thanks.

Hello,
Most likely, this is due to having a version of Labview that is newer than your Vision Builder / Vision Assistant software. There are updates available for both Vision Builder and Vision Assistant. These updates can be found at:
Vision Assistant 7.0.1 if you previously had Vision Assistant 7.0
Vision Builder for AI 2.0.2 if you previously had Vision Builder AI 2.0
After installing one of the above, everything should work as you saw in the online demonstration.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to interface ADAM 4060 in Labview 7.0 ?

I got difficulties in interfacing ADAM 4060 with Labview 7.0. I have tested the device using Advantech ADAM Utility software and it working properly. So, its not hardware error or failure.
However, when I want to interface it using Labview, I couldn't make it work. Labview didnot communicate with ADAM 4060. I've try using User Libraries >Advantech DA&A > Advanve > SlowDIO > DioWritePortDword.vi, DioWritePortWord.vi and also standard srandard library, COMWrite.vi
http://docs.google.com/View?docID=0Aak_OiJCAY8kZGd2dmpiMl80NmRxNmJrc2Y2&revision=_latest
Am I using the right function? FYI, I'm Labview newby.
Can anyone please help me? Thank you in avdance.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi chelvis7,
Are you using the same set of VIs from the manufacturer as one-kay? Were you able to communicate with the device using the method discussed in the link posted by David?
If you are using an NI 485 to USB adapter (such as the NI USB-485), what version of the following software are you using (can be found by opening Measurement and Automation Explorer and expanding the Software section on the left):
LabVIEW
NI-VISA
NI-Serial
Finally what is the error message and error code that you are receiving when attempting communication?

I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3922 controller. I want to use it with LabView inst

alled in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface. Which way would be easier for developing my own instrument driver: a new GPIB controller + interface or 2915 Kinetic Sys. PCI-bus in-slot interface? Can the latter interface be used with LabView?
Many thanks.

I couldn't find an Instrument Driver for the 3932 crate controler. There is a driver for the 3988: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/045f8392cc4d1b01862568ab005fbb49?OpenDocument
If you look at the driver it isn't too complex. Well ... actaully there are certain differences when using the 3988 GPIB controller that the driver takes care of that relate to correctly passing commands (FAN).
If the 3922 controller is similar then maybe you can use the 3988 driver and modify it to meet your needs. I'm not familar with the 2915 Kinetic system so I'm not sure what would be easier.
If you have a GPIB board, then you could try using the 3988 driver with your 3922 controller and see if you can modify the driver to get things to work.
I
've only used the 3988 and that was quite three years ago but it might be worth a try.
Best of luck,

Which stepper motor is required to connect with labview

title:fault detection in pen. i am doing a project in image processing using labview .i want to interface stepper motor with labview using daq how can i interface and which type of stepper motor is suitable for rolling metal sheet in which the pen is placed at the top

I would start with the motor and work down, Labview will woek with any.
1. Figure out how much motor you need: torque, speed, resolution, size (nema 23, 34 .....)
2. Select a drive for your motor: many diferent drivers to control a particular motor, How much current is required, motor voltage, inductance
3. Determine the interface to the controller: step and direction, cw/ccw, serial. (I like step and direction)
4. Determine support options for the motor, encoders, limit switches ...
5. Now you can select your ni card to match the interface, (NI Motion- good for copmlex interfaces and multimotor synchronization, Digital/ counter timers simple but limited conmplexity, less expensive but more software needs to be written)
This all depends on budget and requirements.

Need to find a driver for cRIO-9211 thermocouple to be used with LabView

I am using the NI cRIO-9211 Thermocouple input and the NI USB-9162 Hi-Speed USB Carrier and need to find a driver to interface the thermocouple with LabView 8.5.1. Could you point me in the right direction as to where I can download a driver for this?

Hi Durnan,
You will require the DAQmx driver for the USB 9162. This can be found here: ni.com/downloads, see DAQmx 8.8 - would do.
You only require the DAQmx driver, as the C Series modules are supported - they can just be used in a cRIO as well.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
James.

Problems with labview 7.1

hi all,
i had posted this question before but no one replied so i am posting it as a new message.
i am using labview 7.1 and wanna use fp-1000 and fp-tc-120(2 of them) to measure 16 temperature values from t-type thermocouples.
i connected the fieldpoint hardware with labview through RS-232 and also installed fieldpoint 5.01(with support for labview 7.1) in my system. but MAX does not detect the device. why is this happening. i checked the port settings and they are fine.
if the following info helps then i must mention that a pci-gpib card and a scxi daq system is also attached to my pc. i also made sure that the addresses are different for each one of the hardware devices.
something more, previously i was using labview 8.2 on which the device was working fine. but i had to migrate from one pc to another on which there is labview 7.1 and i cannot install labview 8.2 on this system. so please let me know what to do?

Hi Sachin,
These cameras will be interfaced throught ethernet or USB. Will they be connected to the PC running Win XP or are you looking to interface them with the cRIO.
