Hi! ASIC LabRat,
I agree with your comment.  IVI drivers take too much overhead and the executing speed can be very slow compared to the drivers developed using VISA platform.  The previous link sent by the NI engineer was very old (2001) and doesn't really help you at all. 
Please take a look at this one instead: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4713.

  • Where to download visa driver development tool

    I need visa driver development tool ,but I don't know where to download it? HOPE TO GET HELP.

    Under Tools>Instrumentation, is the Create Instrument Driver Project. Is that what you are talking about? That's in LabVIEW 8.x and I did not have to select or download anything. Since I did a full install of LabVIEW and all drivers, it may be that it is included with the installation of NI-VISA but that would be just a guess to try if you don't have it.

  • Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course contain subject like Communicating with Instruments(SCPI commands)

    HI,  I am having query regarding; Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course contain subject like Communicating with Instruments(SCPI commands)
    LabVIEW: LabVIEW Instrument Control Course Day 1 coves subject like Communicating with Instruments This lesson describes how you can use LabVIEW tocommunicate with instruments. You will learn how touse NI-VISA, NI Spy, SCPI commands, and theInstrument I/O Assistant to perform instrument I/O. My question is to you,Does LabWindows/CVI: IVI Instrument Driver Development Course covers similar kind of training like Communication with Instruments? I am more interested in learning How to use SCPI commands to perform instrument I/O. Will you please guide me? So I can choose correct training course. Thanks & Regards,Jay +91 90110 62790EXFO Electro Optical Engineering India Pvt. Ltd.701, 7th floor The Ceribrum IT Park,Kalyani nagar.

  • Labview Instrument driver development-career path

    Hi,
     How is the career path for a labview Instrument Driver Developer ( Third party instruments like Scope,DMM).

    First off LINK, just click on your name the link is duplicated in your recient posts on your profile page.  (Lots of interesting features in the forums)
    As far as career potential for a LabVIEW developer:
     All the skill in the world with LabVIEW won't do much unless you can apply it effectively.  It is a good skill set to have but, LabVIEW itself is a means to accomplish something else.  In my case it facillitates developing automated tests. From your post it would facillitate development of instrument drivers likely, secondary to the goal of facillitating the sales of those instruments.  So, you need more than LabVIEW, you should develop skill and knowledge about Instrument driver standards, instumentation, and communications protocols. While you are doing that you also need to be able to demonstrate your LabVIEW proficeincy.  Certification can help with that.
    Couple some serious understanding of test and measurement techniques with NI Certification and.... well lets just say you can pay the bills with it.  I Know.

  • Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
    there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
    I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
    The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
    http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
    Here is the log:
    http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
    I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
    http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
    I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
    off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
    Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
    Many thanks,
    Lawrence

  • Instrument Driver VI's for Linux

    Does anyone know if there are already written VI's which use the comedi
    suite for data acquisition? Preferrably ones very similiar to the windows
    based NIDAQ (like the Configure, Read Data, Write Data, etc) but I imagine
    there will be some differences? If not, I'm ready to start making the suite
    of these.
    Thanks,

    Caleb:
    I am working in the same that you and I saw your questions in the comedi list
    and I am trying the same. I work with the PCI-6025 and I saw that you are
    working with the PCI-6023 but the installation is the same. Furthemore I have
    installed the driver edaq-0.9.5 of National Instrument but the analog output is
    not supported.
    Now I have some problems with the installation of Comedi in Debian 2.2 but I
    will resolve this problem and then I will begin to make the vi's with comedi
    inside, I think that we can help us.
    Please mantain the contact.

  • Suggestions for the Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005

    I'd like to start a thread for constructive feedback of the Beta version of these Oracle Developer Tools for VS2005.
    First off, check the known issues here before posting:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/dotnet/odt10202rn.html
    So, here are my issues:
    - In the Oracle Explorer, when you right click on a large table and click "Retrieve Data..." it hangs the IDE until an apparent timeout value of 30 seconds, then shows a message box stating that "The query is taking a long time. Would you like to continue" ...waiting? I think the better approach here is to follow MS. In Menu Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> DataConnections, there is a setting to limit SQL results to x number of rows. I think ODT should do one of the following. 1. Read this value and apply it. OR 2. Hardcode a value of 100 - 500 rows. 3. Add a setting similar to MS in the Options...
    - In the Oracle Explorer, when you right-click on a view and click "Design..." the code for the view opens, but is not very readable because the line breaks are interpreted a little boxes. After dumping it into a hex editor, you can see the little box characters are Linefeeds (Char(10)). If these are all replaced with Carriage Return+Linefeed (Chr(13) + Char(10)), and pasted back into the editor in VS2005, it works perfectly. Note: My Oracle 9i Server is running on the Linux platform.
    - I know this is a known issue, but this one's a biggie for me. Drag and drop is not supported from Oracle Explorer to the XML Schema Designer. Will Drag-and-Drop of tables generate TableAdapters as well with the Fill methods?
    - Pre-existing Triggers don't seem to be visible in the Oracle Explorer.
    Thanks,
    -Tony

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle but not to VS. I have downloaded and installed the newest tools for Developer, having first tried the install for VS2003.net (which refused to install on my VS 2005.) I got the beta download and installed it, but my oracle explorer shows nothing. Any attempt to add a connection results in an error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adaptor error. I had the full install of 10g r2 on my notebook, but removed it and opted for the XE version. I removed the Oracle_Home environment variable prior to installing XE. I am trying to connect to the HR database, and the account is unlocked. I saw a reference to the tnsfiles file, and that seems to be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

  • Connection Problem When Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

    I tried to create an Oracle Connection in my Visual Studio 2008 after installing Oracle 11g, Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Devleoper Tools for Vissual Studio version 11.1.0.6.20.
    I followed the directions according to "Building .NET Applications Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, when I click Test Connection, I keep getting the error message below.

    I solved the problem.
    This is what I did for the benefit of the embryonic newbe like me.
    On the Add Connection Dialog
    1.     For Data source name I selected Local Database
    2.     I clicked on the specific User Name and I typed SYSTEM
    3.     For Password, I typed orcl (the password I setup during the installation) (HR did not work for me for User name and Password according to the tutorial instructions)
    4.     For Role, I selected Default
    5.     Connection Name, I selected Local Database
    6.     Before proceeding any further went to Windows XP SP3 where I was operating from, under Start Menu, I selected Administrative Tools then Services
    a.     On the Windows Services (Local) Dialog, under name, I selected OracleServiceORCL and OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. I clicked on them one at a time

  • Instrument driver development wizard strange behavior

    Hi,
    I was using the driver development wizard and I started getting strange results.  It started creating VI's where the text builder portion ws seperate from the VISA communication portion of the code.  I had to delete indicators and controls and wire the seperate sections.  Also, the VI's dropped the VISA commands and replaced them with nonsense commands.  Very strange.  I closed and re-opened LabVIEW, but no change.
    Has anyone had this happen to them?
    Mark Ramsdale

    Hi Mark, 
    That does seem like some strange behavior. Could you fill me in on some more information? 
    I'd like to see if I can recreate the issue on my end. 
    What OS are you running?
    Version of LabVIEW?
    Version of Measurement & Automation Explorer? 
    DAQmx Driver?
    VISA Driver?
    What were you trying to build a driver for? At what point did it start having issues? 
    Any other useful information you can think of?

  • Instrumentation Driver Developer Guide Documentation Error p9-44 Ivi_UnlockSession

    The source code as listed causes subsequent calls to attribute methods to lock up the development session. Which solution is preferable? Remove the Ivi_UnlockSession statement or add a Ivi_LockSession statement at the top of the method?

    Hello Larry,
    This looks like a mistake in the DDG Manual. The recommendation would be to add Ivi_LockSession at the top as in the following code (from the latest fl45 source):
    ViStatus _VI_FUNC fl45_ConfigureHold (ViSession vi, ViBoolean holdEnable,
    ViInt32 holdThreshold)
    ViStatus error = VI_SUCCESS;
    checkErr( Ivi_LockSession (vi, VI_NULL));
    viCheckParm( Ivi_SetAttributeViBoolean (vi, VI_NULL, FL45_ATTR_HOLD_ENABLE,
    0, holdEnable), 2, "Hold Enable");
    if (holdEnable)
    viCheckParm( Ivi_SetAttributeViInt32 (vi, VI_NULL, FL45_ATTR_HOLD_THRESHOLD,
    0, holdThreshold), 3, "Hold Threshold");
    checkErr( fl45_CheckStatus (vi));
    Error:
    Ivi_Un
    lockSession (vi, VI_NULL);
    return error;
    If you are interested in driver development, I would recommend downloading some drivers from our website (http://www.ni.com/idnet) and walking through them -- we provide the source to many complete drivers.

  • Where can I download complete Xcode Developer Tools for OS-X 10.6?

    I have OS-X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard, I think). I do not have Xcode installed. I do not have the original MAC DVD.
    I figured out I needed Xcode 3.2. When I download "Xcode 3.2" it from Apple, during install it says it failed "to locate package at ~/Packages/DeveloperTools.pkg".
    Downloading "Xcode 3.2.1 Developer Tools" (there is no "Xcode 3.2 Developer Tools"), installing it results in the same error message. (The contents of this DMG is "XcodeTools.mpkg".)
    Maybe I should download "Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3 for Snow Leopard"? (But that is 4.14GB and I can't download that right now.)
    Or am I stuck because I do not have the original DVD which I may need to get "DeveloperTools.pkg"?
    (Also, why do you think the DMG binaries are so huge? The "Xcode 3.2" DMG for example, is 1GB, but the inside "Xcode.mpkg" is only 541KB!)

    Any of the Xcode 3.2.x download packages will work with Snow Leopard. You don't need the Snow Leopard DVD to install Xcode, but if you had the DVD things would be easier for you because you could install Xcode from the DVD and not have to download it. If you don't need to develop for iOS, Xcode 3.2.2 is 744.71 MB, which is a much smaller download than Xcode 3.2.6.
    The Xcode binaries are huge because you're downloading and installing more than just Xcode. There are other GUI apps, such as Interface Builder, Instruments, Dashcode, and Quartz Composer. There are also command-line tools. And there may also be developer documentation included with the Xcode binaries. All that adds up.
