Labview timer accuracy on Windows XP

How do LABVIEW (8.2) timers work when the time period is less than the Windows XP tick. We are using timers around 10msec. How accurate can we expect the timer to be on Windows XP? Is LABVIEW bypassing Windows XP tick to avoid Windows timer limitations?
Thanks.

Windows XP has a 1KHz timer. LabVIEW cannot bypass this clock under Windows. The following article explains what kind of accuracy you should expect.

LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

Can an application written with LabVIEW 7.0 utilize the real-time functions in Window 2000 Real-time.

The LabVIEW DATA ACQUISITION HANDBOOK (not sure of the exact title), has examples of simultaneous I/O, which is what I assume you need.
Clock- controlled analog output (to drive the stepper), and analog input (to read your inputs), sound like the ticket for you.
You could load the output buffer with a pattern that drives your stepper, and get multiple input samples for every step, all precisely timed.

Is it possible to build a project with Labview 2010 on a Windows XP system, that is useful for a system with windows 7 on it?

Hi there,
I am planning to use Labview 2010 in a short time.
But before I'm going to use it I have some questions.
I know it is possible to run Labview 2010 in an XP environment. But is it also possible to, when running Labview 2010 on a XP system, to build a project to a version that is useful in a Windows 7 environment?
Or do I have to run Labview 2010, when I want to build a project that is useful on a Windows 7 system, on a system with Windows 7?
Please give me some information.
I hope to hear from one of you soon.
Regards,
Kenny

How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures?

How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures on the front panel. The main thing is that the window is displaying frames continuously?

vivman,
So from your description you have a picture control where you've already created an image and you'd like to drag an image around inside of the picture control. This can be done although it is going to take a significant amount of research and programming on your behalf. You can use the drag event in the event handler to find out when the drag occurs and where the cursor is. Then edit the picture as you move your mouse so that when you drop the picture gets updated.
The even structure is a somewhat advanced topic and the drag and drop feature is one of the more advanced uses of this structure. I would search the example finder (help>>find examples) for "event" and "drag" to see how to use these events. Also you'll want to look at the examples for the picture control.
Sounds like a cool project! Check out Darren's Weekly Nugget 10/30/2006 this topic (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=212920). It might prove useful.

Running an EXE from LABVIEW without the 'cmd' window showing

Hi,
I am currently using the 'system exec.vi' in a LabVIEW application to open files in external executables (mainly Windows Explorer, Acrobat Reader and Word). This actually works fine and while my application is fairly sleek (even if I do say so myself) I am annoyed by the cmd window that momentarily appears each time I use the 'system exec.vi'.
Is there any way to disable this window? Or maybe there is another way of opening the files altogether?
I am using LabVIEW 8.0 on Windows XP Pro.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou for your comments...
I do buy LV as part of a developer suite so could use the toolkit you mentioned. While PDF's and Word docs are the main files I open they are not the only. I guess I could open different file types different ways. I just hoped there was a better all round way to do it.
As far as Windows Explorer goes... My application is a file manager targetted directly at the file structures we use for developing functional test applications. The application handles all the file management requirements (i.e. WIP Backups, deploying, zipping/archiving etc) and its an added feature that you can 'explore' a given folder directly from the application. The general idea is that all our developers create systems using the same structure and approach.

Have you looked at the VI in vi.lib\Platform\browser.llb\Open a Document on Disk.vi. It opens the document passed in according to its file ending and attempts to communicate with the target application through DDE if possible before using the command line. Even then I have not seen a cmd window popup so far.

Very slow performance of LabVIEW 6.1 under Windows XP

I am using LabVIEW 6.1 under Windows XP. I found that sometimes it takes a long time for the operating system to load LabVIEW. Does anybody have the same experience?

I have the same configuration on a PC and a laptop and I haven't had any problems. I also have >256MB RAM on both machines.
My guess is that you have more than the LabVIEW recommended 64MB RAM on your machine but RAM is really the only thing that comes to mind for me. If you have a bunch of other applications running then it could take a while for LabVIEW to load to memory.
Just a thought.

Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again. Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off. All other back up attemps fail. Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function. Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity. I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired. The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

Windows 7's Infection Rates Five Times Lower Than Windows XP

"Windows 7's marketshare continues to grow at a steady pace at the expense of its two older siblings, Windows Vista and XP, according to the data from StatCounter. In terms of global usage, Windows XP is at 46.44%, Windows Vista at 12.5%, and Windows 7 at 32.64%. Good news for everyone, right? Well, if these adoption numbers aren't convincing enough, perhaps this might convince you (or your technologically challenged peers) - Windows 7 has the lowest infection rates per quarter amongst Microsoft's currently supported operating systems."

Charting data from text file in LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows

I am having some difficulties trying to figure out how to plot a chart with
data from a file. I would like to be able to read data from a text file
into a chart using LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows. I have looked in the help
within the program and online. I have also looked in the user manual and
the book "LabVIEW for Everyone". Could you please give me specific
instructions on how I would construct the program to be able to do this.
Thank you.

Hi Ellie,
It depends on how data is stored in that txt file. Usually you load the data into an array either using or , the array if necessary and send it to the graph indicator in required form. If you want a more detailed answer, send me a sample data file ([email protected]).

Black screen with cursor blinking for a long time before loading windows 7

Hey guys, i'm having an annoying problem with my macbook pro... i installed windows 7 using bootcamp and now i get a black screen with cursor blinking for a long time before loading windows... it *****, it takes about 3 minutes to get my notebook running
The first time i installed windows seven i did not have this problem... i already deleted the partition several times and installed windows again, but the black screen problem is still happening. i don't know what do
You guys have any tips? anyone with the same problem?? this ***** a lot. thanks

Hey Theoos..
Yeah, my version is not.. the first time i installed it was ok, but after 30 days it was asking for a key... then i installed a cracked version, and the cursor started blinking on start up, and took like 2 minutes...
I tested several cracks but with all of them happened the same.
Thanks

How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

DateAdd(interval,number,date) Visual Basic to LabVIEW Time Stamp add 18 months

Hi all,
I need to match Visual Basic Cmd = DateAdd("m", 18, Date()) which adds 18 months to today's date. When I use LabVIEW Time Stamp VI's at first I tried adding 1.5 years in seconds. but this did not match the VB generated method? What method do I use in LV to obtain the VB DateAdd("m", 18, Date())
Example 'Add one month to January 31, 2000
document.write(DateAdd("m",1,"31-Jan-00"))
Output:
2/29/2000

Well this is how you do it. However, it doesn't seem to work with the month. There was a thread about this problem not too long ago. If you overflow the month in the date/time rec cluster (so it is greater than 12), date/time to seconds returns 0. Every other element works fine. You can add 1000 to the day and it will figure it out just fine. When this bug is fixed, this will work. Also, it might only be a bug in recent versions. I'm on 8.5 and it doesn't work right.
I realize this isn't a great answer to your question, but as far as I know, this is the easiest way to do what you want and have LabVIEW handle all the work.

LabVIEW application run on Windows XP Embedded

I'm doing a Embedded system based on Windows XP Embedded operating system.I want to make a LabVIEW applications which can run on it.I see a lot of paper that show the LabVIEW does not support Windows XP Embedded.I want to know whether the official has already solved this problem?Or someone has done the same thing successful?

Who is the official? NI? If it isn't supported, NI is unlikely to be trying to solve the issue as we are a bit beyond XP. You'd need to find unsupported methods to hack it a bit. I'm not sure you'll enjoy this process
