Interfacing of RS232 serial devices through USB ports within LabVIEW 6.1 and Windows 2000 Pro?

I have a data acqusition requirement of using 5 RS232 devices, but the motherboard i use only has two serial ports. However, it does have 4 USB ports. Does anyone know if it is possible to use these USB ports to input data from an RS232 device through a serial to USB converter?
Does LabVIEW 6.1 support this under Windows 2000 Pro?
Thanks in advance,
Fraser

Hi Fraser,
I just moved an app to a new laptop and had to use a USB to serial comm adapter. At first try the app did not find the comm port.
After sleeping on it, we downlaoded the most up-to-date driver for the device and upgraded VISA to the latest and gretest version.
Everything worked fine after that.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to reset a serial device through serial port ,MAX is able to do it but the same command is not working in labview

    max can do it but labview cant

    - Run NI Spy Tutorial
    - Reset the serial device in MAX
    - Run the LabVIEW code
    - Post the *.spy file.
    The spy capture will show any difference in function calls to the driver.

  • How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?

    Hi all,
    I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
    controller which will  make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
    mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?

    Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.
    Here is a link it should be useful http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=340676&query.id=365864#M340676

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • How can I do to communicate to parallel port using labview 5.0 and NT ?

    I am trying to write and read from parallel port using Labview 5.0. It does not work with NT.
    How can I do to communicate to parallel port using labview 5.0 and NT ?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,

    If you are trying to use In/Out port functions that come with LabVIEW they will not work with NT. I think the AccessHW file at the following link will fix that problem:

    and do some searchs at NI.com for parallel port, you should find some more usefull info.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen after updating to IOS 6.0.1 no longer plays sound when connected to a JVC KW-AV60BT through USB port.

    It used to work fine, but now when you plug in to the USB, it properly identifies the head unit in settings>General>About, and the JVC unit displays album art, track info and scrolls through music fine, but no sound comes through the speakers. I've tried to reset all settings on the iPod, I've tried the reset on the head unit, even disconnected the vehicle battery and nothing changes. I can also add that my sisters iPhone 4S on IOS 6.0.1 also performs the same when connected. I've tried my Touch in the USB port of my 2010 Chevy truck and that works fine. oh, and an MP3 player worked proper with the JVC USB port.

    - Try resetting the car system if you can.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.

  • Playing 5thGen through USB Port / Xbox 360

    My iPod is not recognized by anything other than a PC. I had an older iPod that I could plug into my Xbox 360 or a DVR cable box and I would get a "Do not disconnect" sign, and be able to play through these devices.
    When i plug my new 5th gen ipod into either of these, there is no change to the screen. My xbox 360 does not recognize that I have a portable device plugged in. Again, this worked fine with my older ipod.
    I have tried putting it into disc mode as well, but this doesn't change anything.
    I also have downloaded the optional ipod support software for the xbox 360.
    Is there something that I need to do to the ipod to get it to be recognized by a non-PC?
    Thanks.

    The problem seemed to be with the 360. Had to unplug/replug the power source to the 360. Apparently the problem was with the 360 USB ports.

  • How to communicate b/w PC and microcontroller through USB ports

    Hi All
    I am Using LV8.0 FDS and VISA 3.1
    I am trying to communicate my PC with ATMEL microcontroller( just writing and reading string commands) similar to serial communication. For that i need to develop a USB driver in LV.
    As i am new to USB communication , i have gone through the USB instrument control tutorial. i had few questions from it.
    How to know the class of the USb device(ATMEL microcontroller)?
    Any h/w or s/ w needed to be installed to perform usb communcation(i have already installed the drivers CD that come with FDS)?
    When to use USBRaw Bulk mode and When to use USBRaw Control mode?
    When to use VISA write/read vi's and when to use USB control in/out vi's?
    Also how to detect whether it is a USBTMC device or USB Raw device?
    I am trying hard with these questions. but i didn't get the solution.
    So plz suggest me with solutions .and attach examples if any which may clarify my doubts

    There are several great resources in our KnowledgeBase and Developer Zone that discuss USB RAW control with LabVIEW.  These address many of your questions.
    KnowledgeBase: How Can I Communicate With a Device Using NI-VISA USB RAW Mode?
    Developer Zone: USB RAW Control Communication in LabVIEW
    Take a look at those documents, and the related links in both of them--that should help you get started.
