There are two basic ways to use the LEGO RCX with LabVIEW:
1. The LEGO Mindstorms software that you buy in toy stores will install an Active-X component called spirit.ocx which you can then use in LabVIEW. LEGO released an SDK with documentation on how to use this Active-X component:
http://www.legomindstorms.com/sdk/
2. ROBOLAB is a LEGO Dacta software package that you can buy from catalogs (not in toy stores). It is actually a stripped-down version of LV5.1 with a set of VIs that can communicate with the RCX (without Active-X so it is cross-platform). Its possible, if you're tricky, to copy all these VIs into a full-version of LV5.1. For info on ROBOLAB, check out:

How to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?

Hi Any idea how to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?
I forgot to add and set the condition of the type for this program.
If the program is an application, it would close straight away.
If it is still labview work, it will go straight to editing program without closing.
So I need to recover, open it and make some changes.
Clement
Solved!

Put the VI in a project and open it from there, then it shouldn't autorun. You can use App.kind property of application to decide whether to close or not.

Can LabView FPGA module work with non-NI FPGAs?

Simple Question: Can the LabView FPGA Module work with other FPGAs? Im assuming yes, but id like ot make sure first. Normaly I go with NI for most of my stuff, but they just are lacking in the FPGA hardware for what I need, but Im accustumed to LabView so I would like to stick with that to program it.
Thanks!

Using LabVIEW and LabVIEW RT you can access the registers on any PCI/PXI card using the NI-VISA driver. NI-VISA also allows you to handle interrupts and DMA data. For interrupts you will not actually write an interrupt service routine (ISR) in LabVIEW. Instead the VISA driver will acknowledge the interrupt to the card and then pass a VISA event to the LabVIEW application letting the application know that it needs to process the interrupt. Detailed information about this type of programming is available in the following documents.

LabVIEW Error in DLL with pointor

Hi,
Sorry for my very very bad english....
I developped a DLL in Visual C++. In this DLL, I call functions with pointors like parameters. The DLL works very well under Visual but when I call it under LabVIEW 7.1, LabVIEW gives an error when a pointor is read or modify.
Can someone help me? Thanks
Bonjour,
J'ai développé une DLL sous Visual C++. Dans cette DLL, j'utilise des sous-fonctions en leur passant des pointeurs. La DLL fonctionne très bien sous VIsual C++ mais sous LabVIEW 7.1, LabVIEW retourne une erreur (l'exécution s'arrête) quand la DLL veut modifier ou lire un de ces paramètres.
Avez-vous déjà rencontré ce problème et avez-vous réussi à le résoudre? Merci

Ok Dynamik, I understand your answer. I knew these properties for "Call Library Function". The pointers aren't in LabVIEW but in the DLL: I pass under LabVIEW an parameter with "Type" adapt to the type in LabVIEW (I have a French LabVIEW and it says "Adapter au type"). This parameter is a cluster of clusters. In the DLL, it becomes a structure of structure with the same order as the cluster.
Then, I pass the address of this structure in an other function of the DLL for modify it.
Perhaps, it isn't a pointer's problem but an problem of cluster transfert. What do you think?

How to run Labview apps in tablet with android os

How to run Labview application in tablet with android operating system?
Can we use Labview mobile module or we must use google play data dashboard for labVIEW? how to install it in PC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you had looked at data dashboard and some of the other links on Android, you would see that you cannot run a LabVIEW app on Android. Nor can you use a serial port. With Data Dashboard, you have a pc running LabVIEW and it publishes to network shared variables. Data Dashboard on the Android allows you to view those variables.

Is it possible to manipulate and use variables and parametres from a .dll converted progr. (C++) with a labview written progr.

Hi fellows
I got a program written in C++ and I want to comunicate with it and use some parametres and variables from it, to handle these with my labview written program.
I just want to be shure if it is possible??

I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI. We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.
Thanks

Hi,
I never heard of LabVIEW6.5. I only know of LV6i, LV6.1 and LV7.0...
Why don't you just call your next/regional NI sales rep?

I basically have an Ada executable and Labview executable that currently run on a Sun Machine with Solaris as the operating system. I'm re-architecting the system hardware and will be getting rid of the Sun Machine and Solaris. I'm don't have any issues with the Ada executable, but I'm not sure what configurations Labview supports.

Error -18004 with LabVIEW Adapter using LabVIEW Run Time Engine 7.1.1

Hi to all,
I am trying to use the LabVIEW Run Time Engine 7.1.1 instead of the Development System for executing VIs in TestStand with the LabVIEW adapter.
The Problem is that I get the following error, saying that my VIs cannot be executed:
-18004; An error occurred accessing the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine DLL.
All my VIs were masscompiled with LabVIEW 7.1.1
How do I manage this problem, in other words how do I get my VIs in TestStand to run with the LV Run Time Engine?
Thanks for you help,
- Caribe -
PS: I configured the adapter to use the LabVIEW Run Time Engine 7.1.1. When I check back in the dialog "LabVIEW Adapter Configuration" the selector went back to LV Runtime 7.1??? Thats weird dude!

Hi Caribe,
Did you find any solution to this weird behaviour? Even I am facing the same problem! If we set the adapter as LV 7.1.1 runtime engine, it changes back to LV 7.1 runtime engine.
I am also facing -18002 error after mass compiling LV 7.1 folder and my source code folder.
If you can share your solution, that would be of great help to me. If i couldnt find any solution, I have planned to revert back to LV 7.1 version.
Thank you,
Sasi

How many pcs can be activated with a Labview Professional dev.system licence?

I think I activated LabVIEW on it a couple of time (3 or 4) and never got rejected byt he authentication server or a phone call from NI. I think that their authentication server is more there to make sure something isn't "out in the wild" rather than to enforce the 2 or 3 installations (whatever the license grants). I have NI Developer Suite installed on my work computer and my home laptop. I build and distribute the code that runs on "test" machines. NI Licensing really works well for me .
The license manager is smarter than that. Eventhough you installed the OS several times and the actual machine ID probably did change because of that, you did not completely change the machine itself, and the machine ID is based on several characteristics of your hardware and software installation. So the license server can detect if it is just a reinstalled machine or instead a completely different one.

Does Labview v6.1 work with WinXP?

Does Labview v6.1 work with WinXP? I know 7.0 is compatable but it is
missing the DAQ vi library.

Hi,
LabVIEW 6.1 is compatible with Windows XP. The DAQ VIs may be missing
since they are intalled by the DAQ driver. If you do have the driver
installed is just a matter of runnign the NI-DAQ installer again from
Add/Remove programs, select modify and make sure that support for
LabVIEW 6.1 is selected. This should bring the DAQ VIs back up.
let me know if you have any further questions.

Labview NI DAQ application with no daq hardware

1)LabVIEW 6i & NI DAQ with PCI 6023 E cardupport required for Application installation with no hardware and NI DAQ software drivers on target system.
Hello
I have prepared an installation application with
LabVIEW 6i and NI DAQ built-in functions with PCI
6023 E card.
I install this application on a system, which does
not have NI-DAQ driver software and PCI 6023 E
card hardware,and then I try to excute Application,
it starts up, but with the Error Messages stating
that it requires/ does not find DAQ functional vis
and drivers.
I wish to install my application and excute it
without getting the Error messages and must be able
to do the other tasks with the applic
ation created
for. And I dont want to install NI-DAQ software and
Hardware.
Guide me on this, with any possible ways.
Thanking in advance.

Here is one approach: save a copy of each VI that calls a DAQ function.
Save the copy with the same name in a different folder called Dummy.
ENSURE you check the box "save without updating callers".
In that Dummy folder, edit the VIs to remove DAQ calls & return fake
values: zero, 5 VM, random values, whatever is appropriate.
Now preload all the dummy VIs, load up your main applicaiton, and you
will have an application that runs without DAQ.
Make an executable & install it.
This is a useful trick that predates dynamic loading, & you need not
rewrite your VIs to use dynamic loading.
You'll get up & running quicker.
(In the long run, you would need to write these dummy VIs anyway for
dynamic loading.)

Will LabVIEW 8.0 work with Windows 7?

Will LabVIEW 8.0 work with Windows 7?
Thanks in advance.

According to this kb, LV2009 is the first version to be supported in Windows 7. We have had problems getting LabVIEW 8.6 to just install in Windows 7 machines. You might be able to get it to work, but I would recommend upgrading your version of LabVIEW if you really need to use Windows 7.

This would allow me to build a front panel and change certain states of bits or retrieve data from certain files to display on the front panel. Please steer me in the right direction...Another option is to talk to the PLC using Modbus. Several versions of Modbus drivers are available online--or I could send you the ones I use.
The big thing to look at is exactly what you want to do in the end. If you are going to be able to use all the features of the DSC, by all means go for it. It will save you a lot of time.
If however, all you want is a remote front panel for the PLC, the DSC might be overkill. Only you can say.
Look at your entire application and where you can see your work going in the reasonable future.
