LabView interface for SRS DG645

I need to implement a driver for my SRS DG645 module connected to my computer by an NI GPIB, does a driver already exist in LabView? I need a LabView program interface on my computer seperate of my module to control it. I read that Stanford Research Systems does not assist with LabView programming for their machines, and so I have yet to find a LabView interface created for this module.
Thanks for any help!

Hi zeddy and others.
Sorry for replying on old post but i got just the same question.
I will be using SRS DG645 for my project on LabVIEW 7.0.
Do i need any driver for it?
When i search at NI website, i found some plug and play drivers for DG645.
but there are no driver for labVIEW 7.0..
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=D62E8D508F9832E6E0440021287E6A...
Plus, the drivers need NI VISA 5.2 version to work.
Does that version with my LabVIEW?
Here is the compatibility table of Ni-VISA and LabVIEW but there is no LabVIEW7.0 in there.

Can you help me with it.
Thanks in advance.

Adaptation of LIFA (LabVIEW Interface For Arduino) to other Arduino compatible boards

Hello evryone,
I am trying to use a ''Sakura board", which is an Arduino compatible board, having similar programming as Arduino. This board is manufactured by Renesas; more specifications on it can be found on the following link: http://sakuraboard.net/gr-sakura_en.html
What I would like to know, is if the firmware used for LIFA to interface Arduino with labview, or the ChipKit firmaware, can be used to this kind of Arduino compatible boards.
My aim, is to use the Sakura Board for acquiring signals from various pins(Be it digital or analog), and setting other pins (Digital) parralelly, using labVIEW, as this is done using LIFA, or LabVIEW interface for ChiKit!!
Thanks in advance for your support.

I haven't had any experience with the Sakura board, so can only go on the information on the website.
I've used the Arduino LabVIEW interface previously, and it basically uses serial communications between the PC and the Arduino. This serial interface is provided by the on-board USB-serial converter (an ATMega8u2 running custom firmware).
From what I can tell about the Sakura, it appears as a storage device when plugging into a PC, and doesn't seem to have a USB to serial converter. If this is the case, then the LIFA toolkit won't work. That said, my understanding of the Sakura board may be incorrect (for example I'm unsure what operation modes the slide switch changes between). If you can confirm it has a USB-serial port then LIFA may work. I guess the key thing is that the serial port is required.
You may be able to use a software serial port (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial) on the Sakura to communicate with a PC, though that would require a PC with a serial port, or an external USB-serial converter. This approach would also require you to modify the LIFA arduino code (located in vi.lib\LabVIEW Interface for Arduino\Firmware\LIFA_Base) to reference the software serial port. It's probably a long shot that this will work, as the software serial library has been written for AVR chips, making use of their specific internal timers.

LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkitについて

はじめまして。
LabVIEW2013にNI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit を導入したいと考えております。
NIホームページからNI無料アドオンに進み、Arduino用NI LabVIEWインタフェースツールキットの画面からダウンロードを試みたのですが、
Step　One：　VI Packege Manager　のインストール後、このソフトを立ち上げたところLabVIEW Tools Network及びVI Packege Network に接続できないと表示されます。
どなたか、この現象の改善方法について御教授頂けないでしょうか?
宜しくお願い致します

返信ありがとうございます。以下に実際に表示された画面を貼りますので宜しくお願いいたします。
まず、VI Packege Manager を起動すると、左の画面が表示されます。
エラーが発生しているようですが、ひとまずOKを押すと次の画像が表示されます。
この画面ではライブラリにパッケージが存在していないと表示されており、
表記通りにToolsからCheck the VI Packege Network for Available Packages を開きました。
開いた結果、表示されたのが次の画像です。
この画面では、どうも問題がないような内容が表記されているように思えますが、
OKを押すと、また最初の画面に戻ってしまいます。
　LabVIEW　Tools Network　を起動したところ、左のような画面が表示され、
ネットワークに接続されていないことが分かります。
よって接続を試みるためにHelpからActivationを選択し、ひとまず30 day Trialに登録しようとしたところ、下の画面が表示されました。
　この画面ではサーバーに繋がらないという内容であったので、表記通り黒の太文字の部分をネットで調べたところ、どうもVIPM Professionaｌ　を購入しなくてはいけないようです。
私の考えでは、LabVIEW　Tools Network　に接続あるいはアクティブ化がされていないのが原因だと考えておりますが、その改善方法が分かりません。
そもそもVI Packege Managerは無料でも使用可能であり、LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkitもまた無料アドオンだと認識しており、無料の範囲で導入しようと考えております。（LabVIEW　2013は購入しております）
宜しくお願い致します。

LabVIEW Interface for third party EtherCAT slaves

I have a third party EtherCAT hardware (slave) and software. I am using and industrial PC with Intel PRO network card as the EtherCAT master. This setup works fine, and I can talk to the EtherCAT modules using the thirdparty software.
Now, I would like to develop a LabVIEW interface to talk to the EtherCAT slaves for testing purposes, since most of my test programs are written in LabVIEW.
Is it possible to write EtherCAT software in standard LabVIEW 2013 using an inustrial PC as Master?
If I use the DLL of the third party software, do I need LabVIEW Real Time module for etherCAT communication?
-Thanks

Hi rosh,
I think it will depend on how the DLLs are designed. If you call the DLL at the right rates, you may be able to avoid using LabVIEW Real-Time. If you want to run LabVIEW Real-Time on your PC, you would need to replace the existing OS with LabVIEW Real-Time. Once you do that, you may be able to run your existing DLLs but compatibility is not guaranteed. This KnowledgeBase article describes the process of determining if your DLL is compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time (NI PharLap ETS is what installs when you replace the OS). For our other Real-Time operating systems on different targets, you would need access to the original source code so you could recompile for the new target.

Has anybody written a LabVIEW interface for FreeView?

Hello
I want to record sound in LabVIEW, the problem with
the built-in sound card vi`s is that data can get lost
(they don`t use double buffers)
There is a very good, free, sound card driver called FreeVIEW, which uses a double buffer (http://www.inesinc.com/sound.htm)
and I was wondering if anybody has already used
it together with LabVIEW.
cheers

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument either. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/other.htm
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would sugges
t contacting one of the Alliance members at:

If you have any further queries, please let me know

Does NI offer a generic LabVIEW interface for the PCI-1424 frame grabber?

I am attempting to grab frames from a DuncanTech camera using a PCI-1424. The vendor's software was developed in the LabVIEW, but I only have the executable and they seem unwilling to provide the source file(s) - essentially, the vendor software only displays the images (no capture capabilities). In the interests of time, I would like to locate/purchase a generic LabVIEW image acquisition front-end, if available.

MJP;
Your PCI-1424 card should include several examples. Check the directory where the software for the camera was installed (Usually "Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ")
Also, if you have MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer), you can access your card from there and snap images.
Other than that, I think you have to write your own code or ask somebody to do it for you.

LabVIEW toolkit for digital still camera - PTP protocol based

Dear List,
Just to let you know that a LabVIeW toolkit for PTP
(picture transfer protocol)camera is available. PTP is
the new standard for still imaging devices such as
still camera and scanner, it does not require camera
vendor extra special drivers (unlike Twain)and it's OS
independant, thus being supported widely in modern
high resolution digital still cameras. Interested
people can check out this link:

Labview interface arduino

Hi, I am using Arduino with LabVIEW to automate an extruder machine for my masters project. Can you please tell me how to obtain wire diagram for the Arduino circuit after completing the graphical circuit in LabVIEW? Can I get some more examples on LabVIEW interface Arduino related to motion control and automation?
Thanks & regards,
Akshay Wankhede

Hello Askhu,
LabVIEW plus Arduino sounds like a fun combination!
SparkFun even sells a kit for it, which is handy because they also provide a good starting point for a support community:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10812
And we sell an interface toolkit that may be helpful:
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/212478
And our own community page appears to start here:

I don't know much about any of this, but these seem like good places to start looking for more information!
Good luck,

Problems in Operator Interface for LabVIEW

Hi Ray,
I am using LabVIEW 7.0 and TestStand 2.0 version. I am using the default operator interface for labVIEW provided in the TestStand and i am using custom step types in my sequence file.
This sequence calls a VI, which transmits strings that i specify from the serial port to the NI-7831 RIO Fpga Card for differnt baud rates. The same sequence is working fine when called from Sequence Editor but it is not working when it is called from Operator Interface for LAbVIEW. It justs either fails the test or skips them. Please tell me if there is any solution for it. I have attached the sequence file and the vi that i am calling from my sequence file.

Hi,
You forgot to attach your sequencefile and VI, but never mind.
I think the problem maybe that because you are using the default Operator Interface.
If it still the one in the NI folder, then you will have to re build the testexec.exe application using your LabVIEW 7.0 Application Builder. The default exe file has been built using LabVIEW 5.1.1
Before you start, copy the LV folder from OperatorInterfaces\NI\ to OperatorInterfaces\User.
Load the testexec.bld file in your Application Builder and rebuild testexec.exe.
Launch your new testexec.exe from the User\lV folder and retry your test sequencefile.
Hopefully that should cure your problem.

How to use USB interface with LabVIEW Embedded for ARM

Hi everybody.
I am developing an application based on the "LabVIEW Embedded for
ARM". Now I am doing various tests using
the evaluation board 2300 (with NXP LPC2378), but soon I will
dedicate to program the micro used in my project (NXP
LPC2148).
During the tests, I have seen that "default" LabVIEW interface allows the use
of CAN, I2C and SPI interfaces of the micro. I want to know how can I also use the
USB interface that is on the micros -both LPC2148 and LPC2378- (pin USB_D + / D-, USB_UP_LED,
USB_CONNECT, VBUS).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

@chueco85
If you've created an application in LabVIEW for ARM and you build it.
you can go to tools >> ARM Module >> Show Keil uVision
then go to he build options.
the hex file will be created when you do a build.
with flash magic :http://www.flashmagictool.com/
you can program your device.

A more successful experiment in creating compositable user interfaces for Config Dialogs

A couple weeks ago I posted an experiment in creating compositable user interfaces using transparent subpanels. The approach might best be described as, "It at least was notable for being novel."
Today, I'm posting another attempt, this one along more traditional lines, and far more successful. Particularly notable: this one can do all the arbitrary composition of the last one AND it solves the TAB order problem.
This solution uses a picture control and renders N copies of a control. When the user tabs to a control or moves the mouse over the control, a real control slides into that position to be able to catch the events (update mouse over draw state, highlight for keyboard focus, handle typing, etc). When the Value Change occurs, a master array of data is updated and the picture control is updated.
This is something that has been attempted in various forms in the past, but there are two aspects of this particular implementation that make it nice:
its programmatic interface for specifying the behavior of the various objects should make it fairly easy for a user of the framework to programmatically generate their dialogs
it handles the TAB problem without flickering, something I haven't seen in other attemps
This idea spawns out of conversation about the previous experiment -- thanks to those of you who posted on various forums, e-mailed me, or, in a couple cases, showed up at my desk. That last one is not something I'm encouraging unless you work at NI... just saying. :-)
Now, this experiement has already yeilded some interesting conversation. We note that as long as controls are instantiated independent of each other -- that is, no property of one control depends upon the property of another control -- this dialog system scales nicely. But in this experiment, I implemented Radio Buttons, which interact with each other -- when one is set True, the others go False. As soon as controls start interacting with each other (such as graying out one control when a checkbox is toggled, or having expandable sections, or really complex cases like updating a graph as some options change, like happens in some Express VI config dialogs) then we start needing ways to refer to the other controls. This rapidly moves us in one of two directions: naming controls or creating references. The naming approach is definitely my preference as it fits better with dataflow and I can do some interesting effects with breaking apart some of the tree. But all of this quickly starts sounding like "Please implement a XAML parser in LabVIEW." For those of you unfamiliar with XAML, in the world of UI design, it might very well be the coolest thing since sliced bread. A XAML string would indeed fit with dataflow, and we could start building that up. I hesitate to head down this road for two reasons. One, as many have noted, there's really not a good XML parsing library written in LabVIEW that can give me a useful DOM tree. Two, that's a huge project and my gut sense is that you'd have to complete a fairly large chunk of it before you'd start seeing any return on investment. But it is worth thinking about -- I might be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. This code that I've posted today can at least get you started on the generation side if one of you decides to become industrious.
I'm turning my attention away from this project for now... coding in G is lots of fun, and I wish I could spend more days doing it, but this has been a side project and it's time to get back to my assigned projects in text programming. Building a powerful platform for automatic UI generation in LabVIEW would be really useful -- I see lots of requests for this sort of thing, and other languages are pulling ahead of us in this domain.
[UPDATE 5/17/2012 - There is an improved version.]
Solved!

Thanks for posting this Aristos. I would normally be one of those to go bug you at your desk, but in case I'm not the only one with this question... which particular flickering problem are you referring to? The act of switching tabs? In all honesty, I've never noticed...
When you move controls around on the screen, normally you try to Defer Panel Updates while you do that. But Defer Panel Updates has an effect on control's abilities to catch certain mouse clicks, so when you're trying to move a control to catch the mouse, you have to work a lot without Defer Panel Updates, so if you're adjusting captions, etc, to match the new location, you can see flicker as properties adjust. You can move the control off-screen, as long as you have already updated the picture control to reflect the changes. It took a while to catch all the ways that the flickering can crop up. I think I got 'em all.
Attached are the VIs saved for LV 2009. Actually, they're saved for LV 8.6, but it doesn't work in 8.6 because of a bug in the picture control that existed back then.

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.

RS232 Labview driver for SR830 lockin Amplifier

Hi,
I want to install Labview driver for Stanford Research SR830 lockin amplifier for RS232 port. NI has drivers for GPIB but I could not find any for RS 232 comm port.
Please let me know how can I find driver for RS232 port.
Regards,
Nitin

Dear Jason S,
I also want to communicate with sr 830 with the RS232 interface. You said I had to rewrite the whole thing. What does that really mean? Rewrite the driver? If so, what language will it be?
JasonS' wrote:
Hello Nitshu-
As you mentioned, this driver only supports GPIB, and not RS-232. This driver was originally created in 1994, so it was not created using VISA. This means that to convert this driver you would need to essentially rewrite the entire thing. There are not currently any plans to update this driver to support RS-232, but you could easily communicate with it by adding a GPIB Interface to your system.
Let us know if you have any specific questions we can help answer.
