Make IVI drivers from LAB VIEW drivers

Hello,
I have some questions about IVI drivers and Teststand.
how can I make the interface between teststand and the IVI drivers. Or
how can I import the IVI drivers in teststand, so that I can use them
kind regards
samuel

Hi,
You can use the LabVIEW adapter to call the instrument driver VI's direct. Use the Action Step Type to perform the configuring and one of the Test Step Types (Pass/Fail, Numeric Limit Step Types) when acquiring a reading.

  • I nead to find some Lab View driveres for some instruments

     Hello to you all
    I need to find Lab View drivers for some instruments,I tried to look for them in the ni site and hp site and in every place I could think of but with no luck,
    Does anyone know were can I find more Lab View drivers?
    The instruments List is add as a word file
    hoping to hear from you all soon

    Some of these instruments do have drivers or ones for very similar instruments. They are the 8920,4416,8657,8901,8560,TDS540. I haven't gone to any of the vendors sites to see if there were any more you might have missed. You should also know that drivers labeled as 'plug and play' but not LabVIEW, can be converted to a LabVIEW driver.
    If your search still comes up short, you have a few options. At http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm you can make a request for a driver. NI does drivers based on demand and there is no guarantee when or if they will develop one. You can develop them yourself. The above page has links that will help you with this. Developing a driver is not an especially difficult task. You can use the Instrument I/O Assistant or just regular VISA Read/Write to control the instrument. You can hire someone to write the drivers for you. NI has the Alliance Program at http://www.ni.com/alliance/. Some members specialize in driver development. You can choose one of them or someone local.

  • I nead help in finding Lab View drivers for some instruments

    Hi to you all
    I am looking for some drivers for some instruments ( the list is add ), i have trayed to look for them in the NI site ( Search Instrument Driver Network - http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.drv_search ) but with no luck - the specific instruments drivers were not there.
    I trayed to look for the same instrument series but again with no luck
    I tryed to look for the Lab View drivers at the HP site and Agilent site but the drivers that thay have are not ! Lab View drivers but self developed drivers for the instrument.
    If someone maybe has one or more of those drivers, if someone know of a site that i can find one or more of this Lab View drivers or any help at all in finding this Lab View drivers will help me a lot
    thank you all in advance

    I agree that Christian is sending you in the right direction.  I think you should be able to find about 75% of the instruments that you listed.  Some you will not find and will have to develop the drivers yourself.  There is a wizard in LabVIEW 8.X to help you with that. 
    I know from experience that several of the instruments that you listed do have drivers, so keep trying.
    Hope that this helps,

  • Create test sequence from lab view - add it to the .seq file

    Hello All,
                   I have a query. consider an test sequence that has already stored in "Test.seq" format. let us say we have 5 test steps.
    now is it possible to add a new test step to this existing test sequence using Lab VIEW. I mean if we enter a new test step this has to reflect in the existing test sequence "Test.seq".  i.e in the "Test.seq" we must have 6 test steps.
      If this is possible let me know how this can be done. 

    Michels,
    Guenter mande a very good point.  Make sure to take a look at the forum thread he linked to see the licensing implications of creating your own Sequences.
    There is a very good forum thread that discusses how to create steps programmatically.  You can find the forum here:

  • It's is possible to make a select from a view?

    Thanks a lot,

    Hi Rebeca,
    You can surely do a selection from a projection and database view but not from a maintenance view.
    The selection from a view works like a normal selection only.

  • How to include Instrument drivers in Lab-view apps builder

    Hi,
    I am using Labvier 7,1, I have managed to use the Application builder for a simple program, but have problems with a larger program that includes P & P instrument drivers (for GPIB)
    I can create an installer, but when I try & install it, I get a great number of errors, all relating to being unable to find all the vi for the Instrument driver functions.
    I tried several variations,  including support files, & including the instrument driver dll's from C:\vxipnp\winnt\bin\
    this time I got app f.ailed to start , needs VISA32. dll was not found.
    I had expected there to be a standard way of using applications Builder to include GPIB p & P Instrument drivers, guess I'm nieve, being a newbe. Any help will be greatly appreciated
    Mikesub

    The app builder prior to 8.x was only designed to install the application you created. The actual instrument driver VIs should be included in the app but the IVI driver itself (the low level dll) is not. You should really include the installer for the IVI driver and not just the dlls. This is the .msi file that is on the instrument driver download page. If you are getting an error about VISA32, then it sounds like VISA was not installed either. I usually install VISA and NI-GPIB from the CD that comes with the GPIB board and I do this when I install the board into the computer. However, you can also include these installers with your app as well. On the Installer Settings tab, click the Advanced button. You have the option there of 'Run executable after installation'. The simplest thing to do is to create a .bat file that will call the other installers you include with the distribution. Don't forget that you also need the IVI Compliance Package so include that installer as well.

  • Can I control an audio Card with a VI from Lab View?

    In my research I need to control the output of an audio card. I must have an fine control of the output voltage.

    Hi,
    If you use LV 5.1. or higher then you have a built in Sound Control Toolkit. This is located in "Functions->Graphics&Sound->Sound". There is a set of VIs which allow you to control sound card input and output.
    Also you can find a lot of built in examples on how to use these VIs. Go to menu bar of LV GUI and select "Help->Examples->Adavanced->Sound Control->...". May be you will find there a good ready to use VI which you need.
    Good luck.

  • Lab View crashing when creating new bound variable

    Hi,
    I have to connect to an OPC server from Lab view and have played around a bit with the OPC client options.
    I would like to use shared variables as that seems like a handy way to access the needed variables. I have followed the instructions in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7450 .
    However when i use the create bound variables feature LabView crashes when i browse for OPC tags, step3 under "Create Shared Variables that Connect to the OPC Tags through the I/O Server". If i try to expand the node "OPC1" LabView crashes. I try to access the built in NI OPC server locally.
    Also during this process LabView gives warning box saying "Configure OPC server to run with an identity of interactive user". we did try the the steps in http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371618G-01/lvdschelp/config_local_opc_serv/ . However the The interactive user button was disabled under NI OPC sever properties.
    Is there something i have missed? Something that needs to be configured before going through that tutorial?
    I run LabView 2011 on a 64 bit Win7P computer. The DSC module and the NI OPC Servers are installed and seem to work (when running the OPC examples ).
    Thanks.

    Hello AmritaNikhil,
    Thanks for the post, I have a few questions for you about this issue.
    What versions of NI OPC Servers are you using?
    Is the server hosted on your local machine or on a remote machine?
    Are you able to successfully connect NI OPC Servers and NI OPC Quick Client?
    Have you been successful in using OPC IO Servers in the past or has this issue occurred since you have started your application?
    Can you consistently reproduce this crash?
    You can try to work around this issue by using Network Items rather than Project Items when creating bound variables in the Create Bound Variables window. Please try this option and let me know if you have any additional information about your application that may be helpful in solving this issue. In addition, I have also included a link to a similar post. Hope this helps!

  • How to control a NI USB 6210 from a Lab View program?

    Hi,
    I started today with Lab View with some earlier experience long ago.
    While it took me only about half an hour to get my first program running (great), installation time nor included (of course), I meanwhile read documents for some hours and cannot find out how to control measurement hardware in Lab View.
    I want to use a USB 6210 to set a 1-bit digital port. But at the moment there is no USB6210 available so I wanted to write (or do you say draw ?) the program without it and if possible simulate the hardware.
    I drew DAQ Assistant into my block diagram and selected digital line output but get "No supported devices found". I don't know if the appropriate driver was installed during Lab View installation.
    Also I don't understand the mechanism between DAQmx, tasks and the real hardware. Now I have a "Digital Bool 1Line 1Point" Control in my block diagram. How do signals get from program flow to hardware pin? How can I create a simulation for not connected hardware?
    Any help is greatly welcome
    Thanks a lot

    Launch MAX, it was known as Measurement and Automation Explorer, there should be a shortcut in your start menu / desktop.  Under devices and interfaces you can find your hardware and open test panels to control it.  This is the first place to ensure your hardware is working.  If the device isn't seen you'll need to install the drivers and DAQmx software.  If it is there, great.
    Now launch LabVIEW.  The easiest way to control hardware is using the DAQ Assistant.  It has many limitations and isn't recommended for large applications.  But for something quick and dirty it works fine.  You'll find it under the Measurement I/O >> NI DAQmx palette on the block diagram.  If it isn't there you may need to reinstall the DAQmx drivers.  This can happen if you installed DAQmx before LabVIEW.
    Also you'll find under Help >> Find Examples on the toolbar, many examples on controlling hardware.  Feel free to post some code if  you are having problems.

  • [HP 2000-bf69WM] DOwngrading back to Windows 7 from Windows 8, drivers?

    I am done with Windows 8. The needle in the coffin is UEFI and dual booting linux.

    ****Disclaimer*****
    HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a consumer computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP may not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
    Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot cofiguration" on the settings page shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
    Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you will have to boot the computer using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the "F9" boot menu. If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive",  "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect doesn't exist in the boot menu, please post a screen shot and/or descibe the listed boot options.
    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
    If you still have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" (just the string of text will do) for those devices as shown in the example below;
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Should I upgrade my NVIDIA drivers from version 301.42 to 314.07 on my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro (6,2)?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it would be wise for me to upgrade my MacBook Pro nvidia drivers from version 301.42 to the current version 314.07? Reason, I am asking this is because my MacBook Pro has the nvidia GeForce GT 330m processor with 256mb of video memory and I haven't updated my Windows 7 64bit Home Premium display drivers for about 7 months. At the time I installed the 301.42 driver it was the latest WHQL release, and back then I did the upgrade after installing the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers (from the Bootcamp Assistant which had the 26X.XX driver version), Windows 7 SP1, and all Windows Updates. I used a clean install on those drivers. So far, I haven't had any problems with the 301.42 driver which makes me sometimes double think whether I should upgrade the drivers or not to the 314.07 version. As a result this is why I go to these forums and ask what could be the best course of action in my case?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you should by all means update to the latest Nvidia drivers on the windows side of things. I presume you are using bootcamp (since thats really the only place this is relevant).
    But yes! you should

  • Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

    Hi
    I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
    Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
    I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
    What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
    I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.
