Is the DAQ Assistant compatible with LabView7?

I am equipped with LabView7 and a NI DAQ-Pad 6015 and am trying to monitor temperature using two thermocouples. I have searched for some tutorials online but most suggest using DAQ assistant, which is not listed in the input section of my functions palette. I have downloaded the most recent NI-DAQmx driver which is supposed to be compatible with LabView 7.x. I'm not sure if this means that it is compatible with LabView 7.0. I still do not see the DAQ assistant appear.
Any help or suggestions (about DAQ assistant or how to program in LabView7 to solve my problem) is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I have installed DAQmx 8.1 and now the DAQ assistance appears. However, when I select Analog Input >> Temperature >> Thermocouple and arrive at the physical channels screen, it says "No supported devices found."
I also notice that when I open the Measurement & Automation explorer, it does not appear to detect my DAQ pad, even though the light on it is blinking Ready. A window pops up and says "Can not find RTE directory: C:\Windows\system32\cvirte" followed by "Unable to open c:\program files\national instruments\max\bin\cvirte.rsc". After clicking okay to both windows, I check under Devices and Interfaces to see that my DAQpad 6015 is not listed.
Previously before I had uninstalled everything and reinstalled using DAQmx 8.1 my device was detected, but now it doesn't seem to be detected anymore.
Also, I just realized that while it says everywhere that I have LabView7, when I start the program, the opening window has LabView7 Express written on it. I hope this isn't the cause of all the troubles.

How to deal with the Error-89130 about the DAQ assistant?

Once prss the "test" button of the DAQ assistant, the "Error-89130 occurred at DAQ Assistant" show up. It`s no doublt that the labview programme with a DAQ assistant can`t be run and instead the " Error-88303 occurred at DAQMx star Task Vi:1" or " Error-88304..." show up while other labview programme without DAQ assistant can run corrrectly. I have reseted or reinstalled the DAQmx, but it didn`t work. Any other ideas for troubleshooting this? Thanks

Please refer to this KB, and see whether it works. If problem also exists, please tell the DAQmx version and the DAQ card name.

Can't see the "DAQ assistant express VI" in LabView7 express

i am using the LabView 7 express avaluation package, and trying to use my PCI 6132 DAQ card with it.
i cannot see the "DAQ assistant express VI" simbol in the "input" box, and therefore cannot connect to the DAQ.
all drivers are installed, and i manage to log data directly from the DAQ, using the "Measurement & Automation" software.
any ideas?
doe's the evaluation version even supports this DAQ?

GilKlar,
Did you install DAQ first, or LabVIEW? The most common cause of this problem is that DAQ support was installed before LabVIEW support. In this case, the DAQ driver will not find any valid installations of LabVIEW and thus, will not install the necessary VIs. Please try repairing the DAQ installation and making sure that support for LabVIEW is checked.
If this does not solve your problem, please let us know what version of the DAQ driver you are using, as well as how you are acquiring data in MAX.
Hope this 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-

How to control a digital output signal using the DAQ assistant?

I am using a USB 6251 DAQ board and would like to control a switch. I am gathering airflow, pressure, and acoustic data on the same board (analog input) and would like the switch to trigger when the airflow value is within a pre-determined range. Finally, I would like to reverse the polarity of the switch (to off) about a second after the initial digital signal, all of which is during continuous data acquisition.
I am able to actuate the switch only when pressing the "run" button in the DAQ assistant window. I am proficient with data acquisition but have never tried programming an output... Please help!
Thanks!

P.S. I am running LabVIEW 8.5 as well.

blsmith4,
You probably won't get the control of the digital port on your card by only using the DAQ Assistant. One of the following examples should provide you the functionality that you would like out of the box:
Digital - SW - Timed Output (Simple)
Digital - Continuous Output (More Complex)
Continuous Write Digital Port - External Clock - Non Regeneration (Most Complex)
Let me know if these work better for you.

I do not see the DAQ Assistant Express on Functions Input palette.

Software config: Windows XP machine, Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 for PCI 6602. I do not see the DAQ Assistant express on Functions>>Input palette. I get error message when I place the Instrument I/O assistant on the block diagram:-" Measurement and Automation Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant not installed correctly. Please install from LabVIEW CD". I've tried uninstalling, re-installing driver and rebooting my computer several times.

Hello PJ-SJM,
The DAQ Assistant Express VI installs with the NI-DAQmx Driver and not Traditional NI-DAQ. The good news is that the PCI-6602 is supported in both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx. Check this KnowlegeBase article to find out what version of NI-DAQmx you need and then search the Drivers and Updates page for to find the version you need. Once you download and install the driver you should see the DAQ Assistant Express VI on your functions pallet.
The Instrument I/O Assistant is not for use with DAQ cards, it is for using other communication protocol like serial or GPIB. However, if you need this you can install the Device Driver CD and it should work after that. Note: The device driver CD that came with LabVIEW should also contain the correct version of NI-DAQmx.
I hope this helps, and have a great Friday!

In Labview 8.5, what happens if the signal input exceeds the signal input range set by the DAQ Assistant?

Hello all,
This should be a pretty simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on-line and don't currently have the capabilities to test this:
I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 and have a VI that imports sensor data through the DAQ Assistant. In the configuration tab there is a signal input range. What happens if my sensor exceeds this range? Will I get a warning? Will the value default to the maximum (or minimum)? I was interested in writing in some code to display an error as I approach the limits of this range, but was unsure if I also needed to include some code to display an error if the range is exceeded as well.
Thanks for the help,
Tristan

Hello Tristan,
The behavior depends on the range you choose and the device you are using.
If you are using a device with only one valid input range, we will use this range even if you set a smaller minimum and maximum in the DAQ Assistant. Thus, if your device only supports ±10V and you set the range to ±8V, you will still continue to get valid data after your sensor exceeds 8V until you approach 10V. Once you reach the limit of the range of your device, the output will "rail" and just return the maximum value until the signal drops below the maximum again.
Note: A device that is nominally ±10V usually has some overshoot (like ±10.2V) that is typically specced in the manual.
However, if you are using a device with multiple input ranges then things get more complex.
The NI-DAQmx drive will pick the smallest range that fully encompasses the range you choose. So, suppose your device supports the following input ranges: ±0.2V, ±1, ±5V, and ±10V and you choose 0V - 3V as the range in the DAQ assistant. The NI-DAQmx driver is going to look at your input range and the list of input ranges that your hardware supports and choose the smallest that encompasses the full range you set. This would the ±5V, because that's the only range that contains up to 3V. As a result, any input signal between ±5V will be returned and any outside this range will "rail" to either the maximum or minimum value.
We do this because using smaller ranges make more effective use of the resolution of the ADC. Thus we try to use the most efficient range based on what you request without picking a range that will cause you to miss data.
Let me know if I can clarify this further.

Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

There are no inputs or outputs on the DAQ assistant to connect to

Hi everybody,
I am new to labview and have run into some difficulties with the DAQ assistant. I am running labview v8.0, NI-DAQmx v8.7.1 and have a PCI-6224 DAQ installed. It seems that when ever I drop the DAQ assistant (the instrument assistant, and the simulated DAQ has the same issue) onto the block diagram, and configure it, there are no inputs or output which I can wire a control or indiactor to. Is there a step that I am missing somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Sorry, forgot to attach the end result. Note I did have errors come up, they may have been due to no DAQ cards in my PC.

Fourier Transform and the DAQ Assistant

Hi,
I'm trying to take the fourier transform of a analog voltage measurement in Labview 8.6 and I'm having a problem with the data.
The measurement is an anaolog input voltage signal taken using the USB-6211 box. I am acquiring the signal on ports 15 and 16 (differential) with the DAQ Assistant at a rate of 5KHz, 200 samples. The setup works perfect thankfully, and a very nice waveform plot is generated on the VI. I would now like to add a fourier transform of this plot to do some frequency analysis.
I found the FFT function, but when I tried to add the DAQ output to it, I got an error about dynamic data. It takes me to a screen which I don't understand about dynamic data conversion, and I'm not sure what to do from this point. My FFT graph is basically just a flat white line, which is wrong.
How can I just take the basic fourier transform of a waveform in this setup?

Hi
Your thinking is not bad. You have only some scaling problems. You may toy with the vi I am sending. Change the log/linear control and see the result.
You will find all information you need here http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4541 and http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4541. The dt value is the reciprocal of the sample frequency(1/x) The unit is second, and it will give you the time interval between two samples.
Also note how I use the "Dynamic To Waveform Array.vi" to convert the dynamic data. This VI is not documented by NI, but you find it here ...vi.lib\express\express shared\transition.llb\Dynamic To Waveform Array.vi
Good luck
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Go into safe mode an uninstall this new game.
If this doesn't work, uninstall the graphics driver so Win will install it again after restart.

The specs:

Is the Galaxy S4 compatible with IOS 6?

is the Galaxy S4 compatible with IOS 6 or any apple software?

Apple designs and develops their own custom chip sets for iPhones and iPads.
iOS does not support generic phone hardware because of this.
Apple would have to do some major rengineering of iOS to support non-Apple devices.
There is no reason to do this, it would not make them any money and supporting non-Apple devices would be a nightmare.
