Labview drivers and VI's for a Softing CANCard2?

I've got a Softing CANCard2.  I want to start writing Labview tests for CAN.  I need drivers and VI's which will allow me to read/write to CAN in Labview using my Softing CANCard2.  Has anyone done this or know where I could get the drivers/vi's?
thanks

If Softing has not already done this I doubt you are going to find
anyone who has.  It would take a lot of work to write a complete
LabVIEW driver from scratch by making Call Library Function Node calls
into your third-party CAN card's DLLs.  It would be much simpler
and less costly to purchase a National Instruments CAN device for use
with LabVIEW.

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.

    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

  • Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows

    Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows how can I download them with out the install cd?

    Or for the same price you can order a new Snow Leopard disk. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    That would give you Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. With Snow Leopard and Boot Camp 3.0 you can install Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. With Lion and Boot Camp 4.0 you can only install Windows 7. If you install Lion with Boot Camp 3 and XP or Vista already on it it will work.

  • Win XP Pro drivers and install order for Qosmio E10

    Hello,
    I bought recently Qosmio E10 in Korea. The OS is Korean Win XP Home. I would like to change it, so I guess I have two options:
    1. Get a restore CD in English. But I read that Toshiba has the strange rule not to give restore CD with different language. I wrote them, they don't answer for now.
    2. Install Win XP Pro myself (I have only this license). The issue in this case is to be able to get all the drivers I need. I found good drivers on several locations:
    On http://www.toshiba.co.kr, but I worry that these drivers are for Korean XP.
    The other place is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    In this place, most of the drivers are for Media Center edition. There are drivers for XP Pro, but they are not so many and there is no install order. For example, there is no NVidia driver, while such driver is available for the media center. Maybe I can use Media center drivers on XP Pro?
    So my question is: What drivers I have to use and and what order to get a proper working XP Pro. It would be nice to know where to download QosmioUI. I found the Linux player and I will install it, but I want also to have the player in Windows.

    Hello
    As far as I know the software is bundled on notebook and if you buy a notebook you buy automatically OS and license to use it. That means that you can not order a recovery DVD on another language. Qosmio E10 is delivered with Windows MCE2004 SP1a.
    The only possibility is to install Microsoft Windows XP OS (full version, with or without MCE), and then you must install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities separately.
    For English language you can find them on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & Downloads.
    Bye

  • For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

    Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
    I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
    using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
    with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

    You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
    Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

  • K850 printer drivers and updated toolbox for win 7, pro 64 bit

    When will HP provide an updated driver and toolbox for the wide format inkjet printer?  This expensive printer is useless without the toolbox.  No way to align heads or check the accuracy of head alignment.
    If HP abandons this printer it will join the 4 HP scanners sitting in my garage that $2300 were spent on and are now useless because HP chose not to provide updated drivers for them.
    This will be my last HP product unless they stepup and support the products they sell.

    That's a service manual which would be useful if you wanted to repair it. The user manual is no better. You really need to contact the vendor. They have a support forum and there are discussions on a LabVIEW driver.

  • Lenovo Drivers and software

    There are a lot of drivers and software listed for my T500 on the Lenovo website but the explanation about what they do is very weak. Can I get that info anywhere? I recently updated my system from Win 7 32 bit to 64 bit and some of my drivers had to be replaced (fn+ function key and Ultranav Touchpad to name two). In the process of finding those, I found all the others. Should I consider updating all the listed drivers that are appropriate for my T500 and Win 7 64 bit operating system? Thanks.

    Install the lenovo update utility and it should get all the ones you need

  • LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Signal Generator E8257C-520

    Could anyone please tell me where to find LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Agilent Signal Generator E8257C-520. I did not find them on NI's web site. Thank you!

    To my knowledge, the Agilent 346B Noise Source is not a programmatically controllable instrument and therefore we can't create an instrument driver. I suppose it is possible to be controlled through an instrument (like the PSG) but I don't see any documentation on this.
    As for the E8257C, we are insterested in providing a LabVIEW driver for this instrument series. Let me know if you are interested in assisting our development effort by loaning us the instrument.

  • Labview drivers for Keithley 181 nanovoltmeter and Lakeshore DR-91C temp controller

    Hi,
    I am looking for labview GPIB drivers for the following instruments.
    1. Keithley 181 nanovoltmeter
    2. Lakeshore DR-91C temperature controller
    I will greatly appreciate information about the above.
    Sincerely,
    A.V. Mahajan

    Hello,
    I just searched the web for both of these and was unable to find anything...I found a CVI driver for the Keithley 181 on the NI website, but I doubt it would be a simple conversion with the "Convert CVI Instrument Driver" utility in LabVIEW...it certainly wouldn't hurt to try, however. Anyway, I guess about the only option you have at this point is to contact the manufacturers of those devices and see if they have any un-published drivers...perhaps they're not supported, but it's better than nothing.
    Good luck in your search. Have a good day.

  • I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it what should i do

    I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it. I downloaded the service pack but  that did not have it either what should i do.

    Hi Youzhang He, 
    Did you install LabVIEW first on your PXIe 8102 before the drivers?  Most likely, you're missing LabVIEW support for your DAQmx drivers. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. What you should do is open Add/Remove Programs, select National Instruments Software, select Uninstall/Repair. In the window that pops up listing NI software, select NI-DAQmx 9.x and select Modify. In the window that appears, expand Application Development Support and select to install LabVIEW support.  From here complete the install process and restart your system.  LabVIEW support should be installed and DAQ Assistant should appear in your palette.

  • Labview drivers for Prisma QMS

    Hi,
    I'm looking for labview drivers for the Prisma Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
    from Pfeiffer Vacuum. If possible also a simple rest gas analysis (RGA) VI.
    Can anyone help?
    Hans Rosink

    There is no driver available as the qmg220 uses OPC communication you can use labviews build in OPC functions.
    But the problem is that the "normal" labview OPC functions using datasoket are a little bit limited and when you need to adress many OPC items it may crash.
    Therefore NI is producing the LABVIEW DSC module which is avialable for extra money and with the main problem that you are not able to build stand alone applications without any extra licencing costs. Which makes problems if you want to sell your software or add it to the instrument you sell.
    On the other side the DSC module is a little bit to powerfule for the communication with the QMG220.
    Because of these arguments we decideed to use a OPC developement toolkit from Softing . 
    We started with the .NET developement but there4 was a reasonable memeory leak in Labview when using .NET event callbacks.
    This has been solved with Labview 2009f2 and up versions.
    Up to now we have made our communication with the Softing ActiveX control within labview.
    Now we are on the  point to switch bak to .NET. 
    When try the OPC connectivity from any third party opc API vendor and you are using a remote OPC from labview please tonst forget to add the line.
    ole.AuthnLevel = 1 to your labview.ini file. 
    Hope this gives you a first overview.
    We are not planning to build a easy to use driver for the QMG220 but we build a lot of vi's to control some functions and collect the data.
    Best regards

  • How to use Labview drivers for USB-CAN Adapter

    Hi,
    I just recently started working with CAN and I have a PCAN-USB adapter. I'm trying to create a programme for monitoring a series of CAN based devices and I've found Labview drivers at the link below. However, I'm not really sure how to start. I have the specs for the device but I don't know how to proceed. 
    Should I create messages and channels and a data base in MAX first?  If anyone has programmed with this dongle before please give me a guide how you went about it. 
    Labview drivers - http://www.labviewportal.eu/en/device-i-o/82-pcan-usb-driver.
    Thanks 

    I have not used this specific CAN adapter, but I have used other CAN adapters from both NI and other companies.  The CAN database in MAX is useful only if you are using an NI CAN device.  For all other CAN devices you need to use the format that the library uses; most likely that will be raw CAN frames.
    If you do want to use the NI-CAN interface on top of the PCAN library, you can use NI-CAN virtual channels 255 and 256.  These are internally connected, so that anything you send on one is received on the other.  This makes it possible to do translation between raw frames and channels defined in a database, by opening one interface for frames and the other for channels.  You read raw frames from the real device and send them to CAN255, then read them on CAN256; for writing, you do the opposite.  However, this still requires understanding how to read and write raw frames on the underlying device, so I'd start there.

Maybe you are looking for
