Labview VIs for HP 35670A

The link to the labview VIs for the HP 35670A is no longer valid and the search for the same returns nothing. Does anyone have the Labview VIs for that instrument?
The last post was back in 2004(see below)
The instrument driver for the HP 35670A is only
supported under LabVIEW 6 and 7. You should upgrade to the latest
version of LabVIEW in order to use the HP 35670A driver or any of the
newer drivers that we release in the future.
The instrument
driver for the HP 35670A can be found on our web site at
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/61f1c707c2f10906862568ab005fb9ff?Ope...

Why don't you go to the Instrument Driver Network? I don't know what kind of search you did but the driver is certainly still available and can be found by using the search option there.

Where can I find example LabVIEW VIs for the NI-USRP?

There are several sources of example LabVIEW VIs for the NI USRP:
We have established a NI Community "NI USRP Example LabVIEW VIs" where you can find example VIs from us (NI) and the community.
The NI-USRP driver installs a variety of example VIs to the to the following folder on your PC:
<LabVIEW Installation path>\examples\instr\niUSRP
where you should replace <LabVIEW Installation path> with the root folder of your local LabVIEW installation. For instance, my Windows 7 32-bit PC here has LabVIEW 2011 installed and the examples can be found here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr\niUSRP
I've installed the NI-USRP driver, but I can't seem to find the new examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder. Where are the example LabVIEW VIs installed by the NI-USRP driver?
Although the NI-USRP driver does indeed install examples, the current NI-USRP 1.1 release does not update the LabVIEW Example Finder with entries for these examples. To find the examples, you can navigate the Windows Start Menu to the following location:
Start Menu\Programs\National Instruments\NI-USRP\Examples
This Start Menu entry includes several Shortcuts that point to folders that are the home to example VIs.

Hello,
It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
Hope this helps.

Calling labview VIs from python in Linux

Hello.
I've spent some time searching for this but I haven't found exactly what I was hoping for.
I'm involved in a project that we're starting now and it involves creating a complex software architecture in order to control a robot. This software will need to perform multiple tasks such as interfacing with hardware (which LabView is perfect for) as well as planning and high performance image processing (which LabView isn't as great for).
I was hoping to be able to use a scripting language like python to manage high level stuff (planning, behavior, etc) by calling "subroutines" in other languages such as C++ for the high performance stuff and LabView VIs for the hardware interfacing. I would also like this to run on Linux.
I've found a lot of suggestions on how to call Python scripts from within LabView but this is not what I want. I want exactly the opposite, invoke VIs from Python. I found some information on how to do this on Windows (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5719) but this article seems to assume that Windows is being used.
Does anybody have an idea on how to do this?

Unfortunately that's not an option. This is an interdisciplinary school project involving students from engineering (mechanical, electrical and more), computer science and more fields. Some of these students have gotten used to using Labview and this is the main reason I'm trying to accomplish this. I want to have the higher level architecture done in a scripting language such as python which will enable us to create modules in various different environments such as C++ for tasks requiring high performance (image processing for example), Labview for tasks that the people used to using that and even something running on the GPU if there's use for that. Python would make it easy to glue all these components together while maintaining an environment that would make it very easy to configure the whole software system in different ways.
I'd also prefer that this all run on Linux.
The more I look for this the more hopeless I get I'll find anything which is very frustrating. It's a bit hard to believe that Labview doesn't have "python bindings" for running the VIs from within python :-(

I am looking for driver instrument for Agilent 35670A Analyzer.

I am looking for driver instrument for Agilent 35670A Analyzer (for LabWindows/CVI). Where can I find it?

Hello Kris1,
We have a LabVIEW driver for the 35670A on our website, but not a CVI driver. There is, however, a CVI driver for a 3561A (another HP Dynamic Signal Analyzer). The command sets should be similar and so you should be able to modify the 3561A's driver to work with the 35670A.
HP3561A Dynamic Signal Analyzer
Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other.htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. Drivers are developed based on demand and p
opularity so the more requests, the greater the possibility that one will be developed. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer.

Example VIs for winsock with LabVIEW 7.0

Are there any example VIs for TCP communications with winsock using LabVIEW 7.0?

I would like to join the request - I would like to know how to use WinSock from within LabVIEW to use a modem to dial a number and connect to another PC with a modem. An extra complicaiton is the fact that I need to be able to vary the number (to access numerous data acquisition stations).

LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion

Dear Sir/Madam
I am using softwares Labview 7.1, SolidWorks 2005, Cosmos Motion 2005 and LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion. I try to solving my project entitled “Tracking of a Two Link Robot”. We give a point which includes X and Y as its coordinate system. To do so, robot will move to this point. However I have a problem to solve my project. Considering to Example(PID Example.vi from http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3402). that including one degree of freedom. I wish to solve a project with two degrees of freedom. I attached an image of my project in JPG formatting. Could you please let me have a solved problem in same case or helping me in this way?
Thank you so much for your attention.

Labview basic vis for controlling Newport ESP6000 controller and 3 axis stages

I have looked in Ni.com's development zone and cannot find anybody who
has created or developed Labview code for controlling a ESP6000
Newport controller. Newport provides the basic level dll for use with
Labview. Has anybody developed a good basic LabView VI implementing
these dlls?
Any advice and suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated.
K Patel

This is a library I just quickly put together from what I remember when I used to used the ESP6000 and Unidrive systems - All you need to do is call "Open and Initialise Axes" (note the Australian/UK spelling!) and then home each axis individually, and then call any of the other commands (Move Relative, Move Absolute, Stop, etc) - note: sue to an hardware limitation, you can only home one axis at a time, and that could take a while!
*** The DeveloperZone is not letting me upload the library - email me (address below), and I'll email it directly to you.

Find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs

Hi All, I have researched this subject, i.e., to find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs, but found no solution. Could someone suggest a solution to this? Thanks.

Hi,
Certainly! The Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW includes set of LabVIEW libraries (llb) with VIs that make calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface (API) for managing and controlling windows (minimize, maximize, move, resize, rename, close, and so on) including task list with names of windows application running. The Readme.doc contains information on running these VIs.
Attached below is a zipped file with a VI that list the names of all opened windows.

How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

Hi,
How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
Thanks for your help.

That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

Convert VI llb from LabVIEW 5 for use in LabVIEW 8.6

Hi Everybody!
Firstly, I'd like to say how much I have enjoyed working for NI and especially supporting the online community in my spare work time. I have to say it is a great place for NI, long term users, new users and everything else LabVIEW - and you guys have fun! Excellent.
I am now back at university and I am looking to use LabVIEW for some robotic work. During my research I have found some manufacturer's VIs for the hardware: however their 'latest' version appears to be in LabVIEW 5.
Would someone be so kind to convert my VIs into at least LabVIEW 6, or up to LabVIEW 8.2.1 (Last version that can open LabVIEW 5 VIs) that would be great. My LabVIEW 8.6 should be able to open VIs saved in LabVIEW 6 or greater. (Obviously not LabVIEW 2009!)
Reference: How to Upgrade or Revert a VI to a Different Version of LabVIEW
Thanks ever so much in advance (I miss the day I had every version of LabVIEW - and NI software on my machine!)

Communicating USB using Labview VISA

I have a USB RAW device that I am trying to communicate with using labview VISA. I have had success with setting up the driver and I am able to get information from the device such as serial number, etc. When I try to use the VISA read and write commands, I have no success getting the information I want. The commands are simple: R SP<CR><LF> is a read set point command. The only thing I do get back for every command I try, is a 2 byte message "01 60"hex.
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it, thanks!

Hello Chris, I do not receive any errors and yes, I am including the termination characters in the string.
Here is what I get when I use a USB port monitor when I send out this string.

Creating a Labview VI for controlling an Atmel at32uc3a1512 device.

I have a custom device that has a USB port and an ethernet port,
This device (and it's USB port) are controlled by an atmel at32uc3a1512.
I have an old version of Labview (V8.2) nd I would like to create a VI to communicate and pass data
back and forth with an Atmel at32uc3a1512 but I am not sure how to create a driver for this with the MAX utility.
The device shows up in my Windows XP control panel as a USBLib device...
Any direction, suggestions, or links to examples or whitepapers on this is appreciated
thanks

Hello Japper,
If you would like to attempt to communicate to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a device using USB, then the following tutorial should be useful. This details how to use NI-VISA to communicate with a USB device, however this requires detailed knowledge on how the device sends, receives, and processes data.
USB Instrument Control Tutorial:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en
If you are attempting to write LabVIEW code that will be deployed to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a target then that is a whole different set of needs. This device is not an officially supported target, and would require a significant amount of modification and tweaking in order to get this to work, if it is possible. The best resource that I can provide for that would be this guide on how to port LabVIEW to ARM devices. I understand that the Amtel at32uc3a1512 is not an ARM device, however this would be the closest guide that we have for porting LabVIEW as a target VI.
LabVIEW Embedded for ARM Porting Guide - Chapter 1: Introduction:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6994/en
Let me know which method you are attempting to use the Amtel at32uc3a1512 as; either a target, or a device.

How To: Reference LabVIEW VIs in Memory from a Compiled Application?

Hello all! This is my first post on these boards despite the fact that I have been doing LabVIEW for almost 8 years...so go easy on me!
Basically my issue is this: I want to write a compiled application for my team to use to help us have a standardized tool to push VI help tip information. So I created a nice front panel, gave it memory storage via XML to remember info you might want to not have to type over and over again. I also gave it some formatting options, etc. Overall, a nice tool to speed up a repetitive task.
However, it runs great as a VI, but compiled does not work at all and I am sure many of you can see where this is going. I have cobbled together some snippets of code found on these boards to collect a list of references and names of all the VIs in memory that are not currently running. Then I use a ring control to parse which VI I want to target and then push the parsed and formatted help tip to that VI. But the reality is apparently that LabVIEW and a compiled application do not share the same memory allocation, because they are separate application instances.
Is there ANY way around this?
I tried one thing that seemed to make sense, but so far has resulted in the same thing. I tried to do a type def call by reference with an asynchronous call and a wait on asynchronous call function to return the reference list. However, even though this bit of code is still a VI and NOT part of the compiled code, it still somehow picks up the application instance of the owning app, and therefore does not see any of the open VIs in memory that LabVIEW controls.
Any help would be immense, as I am going nuts trying to figure this out!
Info: LabVIEW 2012.f3
I am also attaching a screen cap of the block diagram of the VI that collects the references.
Thanks in advance!

Well you run into a security limitation of VI server here. Many methods and properties are not possible to be accessed through a remote application instance. Any Application instance that is opened with an address is considered a remote instance. Basically if you leave the address open in the Open Application, LabVIEW shortcuts to the internal instance. If you connect some address even if it is "localhost", LabVIEW goes through the TCP/IP socket for any and all methods and proeprties and the application instance is considered a remote instance.
Open your floating help window, and place your cursor above your property. Notice the text in there: Remote Access disallowed: Yes.
The reason for this is, that if this method was available over remote connections, anyone with access to your network could connect to that LabVIEW instance and basically discover any and every VI you have currently loaded and even download them to their own computer. And this can not be fixed. This security is not possible to circumvent other than hacking into LabVIEW itself.
I guess this kills your entire idea. An executable can't connect to another executable or the LabVIEW development environment other than through a remote connection! That is due to strict process isolation rules in all modern OSes. The only possible workaround I could think is to create VIs for all remote access protected methods and properties, copying them to every LabVIEW installation you want to access with your shell (and that likely would have to be done through the network as the according methods in the VI server interface are also remote access protected) and then call those VIs through VI server.

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.

VIs for using UNIX pipes?

We're going to start working on an application that will eventually run on
a UNIX machine, but in the meantime we'll develop on NT, which is what we're
familiar with. One requirement is to communicate with another process through
a UNIX pipe. Are there VIs built into the UNIX versions of LabVIEW for this?
Or do we just use file I/O VIs? Or is there some other way to accomplish
this?
If there are VIs built in, where is the documentation? I checked the LabVIEW
manuals, but I didn't find anything.

Yes there are VIs for named pipes in UNIX, Open, Close, Read, and Write
They are under the communication palette. Check the online manual in the comm
