Labview/Advantech Problem

I have an Advantech PCL-818L Multifunction DAQ Card, Win NT Sp6, Labview6.0, ADvantech Labview Driver.
If I open up the Advantech Device Manager I can make Digital Outputs work fine. If I make a VI to actuate outputs it only works sporadic. No errors or crashs just doesnt work. I recently reformatted HDD and reinstalled everything-no diffference. Any help mucho gracious.

AMSDKW,
Unfortunately, we do not support Advantech's data acquisition boards or Advantech's LabVIEW driver. Please contact Advantech's technical support to resolve this issue.
Our National Instruments data acquisition boards integrate seamlessly with LabVIEW. I recommend looking into either the NI PCI-6013 or NI PCI-6014.

Labview Graph Problem

Hello,
I have a problem with a tool witch takes excel columns and plots graphs.
The problem is that when i create the png of the graph it additionaly appears the poit (0;0) witch should be on graph.
In the preview i can't see this point. I attached an example.

Have you tried putting a probe onto the data going into the graph to check there aren't any extra data points (i.e. at 0,0)?

LabView installer problem : undetected CRIO in MAX

Hello,
I'm working on a data acquisition project in LabView 2010 SP1 composed by a LabView Host program (XP SP3 PC) and a CRIO acquisition module. They communicate together through Shared Variables and Network Streaming.
I made an installer of my Host project composed by: runtime 2010 SP1, MAX, NI-RIO 3.6.0 driver and Microsoft Silverlight .
I created this installer on my Dev PC and installed it to a Client PC (see the joint image). The whole program works on the Client PC and the data exchange (Shared Variables and Network Streaming) is OK.
The problem is that the CRIO is not detected by MAX in Remote Devices. On the other hand, when I use the NI Network Browser, it works well (it detects the CRIO).
The other problem is that, even if I have installed the NI-RIO 3.6.0 driver, the RIO Device Setup is not present on the Client PC.
If I install all the standard drivers from the NI device Drivers DVD, it installs everything and then the CRIO is well detected and the RIO Device Setup is also installed.
My conclusion is that I haven't included all the necessary packages in my installer.
What are the necessary components to install in order to have:
the CRIO fully detected
the RIO device setup installed
Must I also install some DAQmx components ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a difference between a network and subnet. I have a similiar problem where I can see the device but can not configure it. You can tell if you are on the same subnet by retireving the ip address for the client and get the subnet mask of the client machine. The example is the following:
client machine ip address 192.168.20.37 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
CRIO machine 192.168.22.15
They are not on the same subnet. If subnet is 255.255.0.0 it is on the same subnet.

Labview Synthesiser: Problem outputting sound via MacBook soundcard

Hi all!
First time posting here, hopefully i'm in the right section of the forum. Anyway, i'm a part time student and currently studying a module on Labview in university. As a mini project i decided to build a synth using Labview. I've it mostly built but i'm having a bit of trouble outputting sound to the soundcard. I'm also having a bit of trouble getting the waveforms to play for a longer time period.
I was sort of copying the setup of one of the example VIs (generating sound vi i think) and another vi i found online but i can't seem to get mine to work using my synth design. I've two problems, one is that the waveform only plays for a very short time but the main problem is that i'm getting an error (error 4803) saying the soundcard cannot accomodate the specified configuration but as far as i can see my setup is more or less the same as the generating sound vi (which works on my fine macbook). Obviously i'm missing something so i decided to come on here and ask for help.
I'm guessing the datatype connected to my sound output configure vi could be causing a problem since it has a red dot on the input terminal. Any suggestions on how i should fix this?
I've my vi attached. Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Edit: I've already fixed the error 4803 problem. Had to change the input to the sound output configure sub vi. Now i just have to figure out how to get the sound to play for longer. Any ideas anyone?
Solved!

OK. You have several problems.
The cluster order in your Format cluster is Rate, Bits, Channels while the order in the "sound format" cluster on Sound Output Configure.vi is sample rate (S/s), number of channels, bits per sample. LabVIEW connects clusters according to the cluster order. How to avoid this: Pop up on the sound format conpane terminal on the Sound Output Configure.vi icon on the block diagram and choose Create Control. That will put a control with the same names and cluster order on the front panel. You can edit the names if you wish as long as you do not change the cluster order. The alternate is to Unbundle the data from your cluster control and then bundle it to the input cluster. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
The VI does not respond to the Stop button until the event structure executes, which only happens when a key is pressed. Fix: Add an event case for the Stop Value Changed event. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
The VI does not recognize changes in Octave, Amplitude, Osc Select, or Filter Frequency until the second keypress after changing any of these controls. Why? Dataflow. Those controls are probably read within microseconds after an iteration of the for loop starts. They are not read again until the next iteration regardless of when or how many times they are changed. The loop will not iterate until the Event structure completes, which only happens when a key is pressed. The Fix: Event cases for Value Changes on those controls. Note that this does not work because now there is no defined frequency. So, you also need some shift registers. Because of the problems mentioned, I did not put this into the modified VI.
Next, the event structure freezes the front panel until the code inside has completed. This becomes quite apparent when you set the duration to 2 seconds and press several keys quickly. The fix to this and the problem in the paragraph above is a parallel loop archtitecture, such as the Producer/Consumer Design Pattern.
Not a problem but a different way of doing something: Use Scale by Power of 2 from the Numeric palette in place of the case structure connected to Octave. I show this in the modification of your VI attached.
Now to your question about tone duration: The duration of a signal generated by the Sine Waveform.vi and the others is determined by the sampling frequency and the number of samples. You are a student so you can do the math. You need to adjust the number of samples because the sampling frequency is fixed.
The modified VI works fine on my iMac.

Labview timing problem

I'm kind of stuck with a bit a problem in Labview 7 (base ed.). I've got a PCI-6036E that can sample at 200KS/s with a 24bit onboard timer.
I've got to set up an experiment that monitors a current indirectly through a potentiostat (1A = 1V scale). The program needs to integrate the current/voltage with respect to time until it reaches a specific value and then tells the program to generate an analogue signal output (this will over and over)
Surely it should be quite straight forward to read a voltage on one of the inputs, summing this value in a loop until this limit is reached, then outputting a voltage.
The problem is I'm not quite sure how to approach this considering that I need a time interval of the loop to be ~1-10 microseconds.
Many thanks,
Paul

The only way you're going to get microsecond loop speeds is to move up to the new FPGA board, currently only available for PXI.
Under Windows, or any GUI OS for that matter, loop speeds and determinism get shaky in the double digit milli-second rates, and anything less than 10 mS is really not reliable. LabVIEW Real Time can get much better loop timing, but you're still limited to the milli-second rate as the CPU can't process any faster than that.
Anything running on the FPGA is running in hardware and extremely fast and deterministic loop times are possible. I�ve run them in the nano-second range just doing some testing. Data from applications running on the FPGA can be accessed from La
bVIEW Real Time, LabVIEW or both so you can control what�s going on.
Your best bet would be to either call NI or your local NI rep and have them get you some more info.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Labview addons problem

While opening an existing project, I have been prompted to find the control named "Telnet Session.ctl". The labview is trying to load it from "\addons\internet\telnet\telnet.llb\Telnet Session.ctl", but couldn't find it. What should I do? I also see this box during the process.

Thanks Dennis. In will have a deeper look into the problem. For now, I think it needs telnet functions since one of the error I am getting is SubVI 'Telbet Read.vi'ubVI is misssing. Another is 'type Definition 'telnet_handle': type definition not found or contains error' and many more.

Labview memory problem

I have an application generated by IOTech for using their analog I/O Card with LABVIEW 7.1. When I start the application. My task manager shows Labview.exe size about 30000K. Then after it goes on increasing with no final limit. This causes my PC to slow down and some time to crash situation. What is the reason for such huge memory increase, I dont understand. The file is attached here with with a hope to get solution.
Thanks.

That is chowing down 1.8 Meg a minute so that would be a problem. You options are:
Add more memory to a point where you can complete a test
Set break points in the program to identify what step or steps are allocating the memory. Once identified you can make a decision to limit total memory consumed (use delete array at certain size) or FIFO data to disk to to prevent PC from crashing.

Hi Prart
1.- If you have IMAQ vision 7.1, download USB IMAQ driver fron this web and will have no such problems.
2.- If not, convert your image to a 2D array an see attached picture about how to revert image.If it does not run for you, try transpose 2d arrrays.
Hope it helps

Labview 6 problem

When I try to Run Labview 6, it always comes out Error 37, which seems related to Error I32 and out ref on computer? How can I solve this problem. I am looking forward to help. Thanks in advance.

If this program was provided with the laser, maybe you should contact them. This does not seem to a problem with LabVIEW per se, but with the provided code.
Did it ever work before, or is this a new installation? Could it be you are using the wrong serial port?
Do you have access to the block diagram of the program or is it passworded? Hit "ctrl+e" when the VI is not running. Anything?
If the program instructions require you to run the program using the "Run Continuously" button, it seems that not a lot of thought and time went into the code development and it is probably buggier than an ant farm. WIthout seeing the code, it is impossible to tell.

LabVIEW Instalation problem

Hi, I'm having a huge and urgent problem...
I'm a student and I'm at a company that gave me LabVIEW 2012 to install in my computer, my problem is the following:
My CD's have written "NI Developer Suite 2012" I play the CD and it keep's saying it is 2012 but when I'm choosing the packages to install it only have 2011 packages and I installed loads of them and spent loads of time installing it and now only LabVIEW 2011 is installed... I need LabVIEW 2012 and I just can't install it :/
Help please?

Very common misconception there. If you have NI Developer Suite 2012 DS1, that has LabVIEW 2011 SP1 on it. Developer Suite 2012 DS2 will have LabVIEW 2012 on it. The latest Dveloper Suite set is 2013 DS1, which will have LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on it.

Hi,
LabVIEW Example Finder uses NI Service Locator in the background. Try to restart the Service Locator and see if that helps. More information on this can be found at the following link.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/8C00F1144B2CD73E86256DEF00698AC3?OpenDocument
Also, make sure that there is no antivirus or firewall application running in the background when you try to open the example.

Labview version problem?

Hello guys,
I have made a subVI that controls the rpm % of a wind tunnel vane. This consists in adquiring 2 values of data within 30 seconds and compare both to see the uniformity of the flux. I use a Labview 2011 version. The problem occurs when i use this subvi in a 2012 version. The 30 seconds turn to 1 minute... I want to ask if its possible for this to be a version problem.

I'm concerned that you are reading a file and then reading it again 3 seconds later. This tells me you are looking for when the other process stops writing data. File IO is a terrible way to share data. Use a Notifier or Queue instead. Much more efficient.

Labview display problem

Hello,
The Labview display went crazy one day. When I scroll the vertical scroll bar of the front panel, only the left part (about 3/4 of the width of the screen) of the front panel goes up or down as it should, while the right part (about 1/4 of the width of the screen) freezes. Also, the problem persists when I was running my VI. But there is no problem with the block diagram window.
Is this a bug of Labview? Or could it be caused by my application/code? How could I get rid of it?
Thanks a lot,
TK Lui

Thanks Tolga. But it didn't work for me. But let me describe what I did and see if it's what you meant.
I didn't manage the VIs as a project. So, I opened a new project and
add the folder that contains all the VIs (call this folder the root
folder). I then saved this project in the root folder. To copy the
front panel/codes, I went to Project > Add File to add a new VI to
the project. I saved the project by choosing Save All. Then I did Edit
> Select All and Edit > Copy to select all the front panel
objects/all codes and copy them to the clipboard. After that, I went to
the new VI and did Edit > Paste to paste the controls/codes to the
new VI.
The situation stayed the same: when I copy the front panel objects, I
lose the codes; and when I copy the codes, I lose all the controls on
the front panel.
This time I'm attaching all the codes so that you (or perhaps someone else) could try to run it and troubleshoot it.

Hi, as Apok has mentioned, if you click on the run arrow it will come up with a list of errors and some explanation.
on a quick look though;
you have an error on the TDMS file open block - the operation constant is shown with a otted line (and seems to be spelt incorrectly).
only one input of the build array in the timed loop is connected
the TDMS file out isn't wired in the case statement (TRUE case) in your while loop
not necessarily an error, but the shift register storing erros isn't wired up in the input to the loop so will only pass through an error on the last iteration
It's also not an error, but bad practise to use flat sequence structures to control program flow - you're better off using data flow to manage things if possible. You could leave the first flat sequence in place to initialise variables, wire the error cluster line to both loops and remove the other two flat sequences.

Labview Merge Problems

I have LVMerge setup to integrate changes with my version control package and it works fine, if slow ... most of the time.
For some reason, with some VI's (especially larger ones), it refuses to "resolve" conflicts.
I click on Choose Theirs, windows flash around, the hourglass comes up, I get focus back, and nothing seems to have happened. The conflict is still marked as unresolved. Same for choose base or choose yours. Even on conflicts that were auto-resolved, I can't go back and choose a different resolution.
I don't think it's a setup problem because this works fine on other VI's. This doesn't seem to be a commonly used feature, there aren't a lot of forum posts on it, but I thought I'd throw it out there ...
Regards,
Mike
