Wow! Don't apologize for English that's better then most peoples who claim to speak English. For instance peoples is terrible English.
Anyway, I don't have a great answer but if you have not found any help yet let me know. I think the best way to learn CVI is to just dive in a when you get stuck phone a lifeline. In other words try and get a network going with other CVI users. Email me with some basic CVI questions and I might be able to help.

Documentation on How to Develop an OPC Client Using LabWindows/CVI?

What documentation is there on how to develop an OPC client application using LabWindows/CVI? What tutorials, if any, are there? What reference manuals, if any are there?
I am completely new to LabWindows/CVI. I will be starting soon with the tutorial, "Getting Started with LabWindows/CVI". However, our application needs to communicate with an RSLinx OPC Server. Any documentaiton on how to learn to do this would be very much appreciated.

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4626/en/ Just did a quick google and this came up, Labwindows CVI and Labview are quite different but I usually look at Labview examples then try take the general idea from the example and apply it in CVI, hope this helps

Drive VXI-MIO-64E-1 in LabWindows/CVI

I'm integrating a VXI system based NI's VXI-1394 controller in which VXI-MIO-64E-1
was used. My develop envirenment is LabWindows/CVI 5.01. When I use the MIO
card to sample a waveform, the only length of the waveform I can sample is
2048Sa. Then, I insert 2 SIMM with size of 8MB to the MIO card, but it is
useless.
How can I configure and use the onboard Mem of VXI-MIO-64E-1? Could you give
a sample program in CVI?
Thank you very much!

Hello Vishnu,
Unfortunately, the VXI-DAQ cards are no longer supported, but you can find information about using them in the manual. The VXI-MIO Series User Manual has details about setting the input range in Chapter 3 on page 3-4.
Good luck with your application!

Need to install LabWindows/CVI PID Control Toolkit (Part Number 320794A-01)

Hello -
I have a customer with a very old application who needs to upgrade their system to Win7 64-bit. The app references the old PID functions (manual here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320794a.pdf) but no matter what I have searched for, I cannot find an installation for that toolkit. I have never had a need to use the current PID toolkit so I am not versed with it, and the difference in the functions do not seem to be a 1 to 1 change. Additionally, the customer is not paying for a code change - just assistance with the upgrade and reinstall. I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me to that download.
If such a download is not in existence any longer, I will need to request some assistance with modifying the source to use the current PID functions. I could attach the pertinent code if need be (there are not a great deal of references).
Thank you.

Hi CVIBri,
The installation files for the LabWindows/CVI PID Control Toolkit 2.1 are located at the URL below. I realize these are only officially compatible with versions of Windows up to Vista, however this is the most recent version of the toolkit that exists. I've also provided a link to the Evaluation License Files. That being said, LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 now includes the PID Control Toolkit as part of its Base and Full versions, and it is fully licensed with the same serial number used to activate the LabWindows/CVI development environement. The Readme linked below should provide more information.
PID Control Toolkit: http://www.ni.com/download/labwindowscvi-pid-control-toolset-2.1/1037/en/

Acquisition de température (Labwindows/CVI, NI9211)

Bonjour,
Je débute sur Labwindows/CVI, je suis entrain de concevoir un petit système de supervision. J’essaie dans un premier temps de faire juste l’acquisition de température grâce un module NI 9211 et l’affichée sur une interface graphique de Labwindows/CVI. J’ai installé le DAQ mx mais je ne sais pas comment faire pour intégrer la mesure à mon programme. Si quelqu’un peux me dire comment faire ou me renvoyer sur un tutoriel cela m’aiderai beaucoup.
Je vous remercie d’avance.

VXI-MIO-64E-1 in LabWindows/CVI

I am using VXI-MIO-64E-1 module for Data Acquisition of differential Signal of 0-10V. By default Module is configured in -5V to +5V. I have used status = AI_Configure (deviceNumber, chan, inputMode, inputRange, polarity, driveAIS) function for configure module to 0-10V unipoler but still module is taking -5V to +5V not 0-10V. here is LabWindows/CVI code for configuration of analog input module.
    buffer = (short *)malloc ( NUMPOINTS * sizeof(short));
   status = Init_DA_Brds (1, &brd);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in initializing VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = SCAN_Setup (1, NUMMODULES, ChannelList, ChannelGain);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in configuring VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = DAQ_DB_Config (1, 1);
   status = DAQ_Config (1, 1, 0);
   status = Select_Signal (1, ND_PFI_7, ND_IN_SCAN_IN_PROG, ND_LOW_TO_HIGH);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in Configuring SCAN_START input Line");
    exit(-1);
   InitializeTimer1();
   /* Module 1 Initialization Over */
   /* Module 2 Initialization Starts */
   buffer1 = (short *)malloc ( NUMPOINTS1 * sizeof(short));
   status = Init_DA_Brds (2, &brd);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in initializing VXI device");
    exit(-1);
   status = SCAN_Setup (2, NUMMODULES1, ChannelList, ChannelGain);
   if ( status != 0 )
    MessagePopup("Error","Error in configuring VXI device 2");
    exit(-1);
   status = DAQ_DB_Config (2, 1);
   status = DAQ_Config (2, 1, 0);
   status = AI_Configure (2, -1, 0, 10, 1, 0);
   /* Module 2 Initialization Over */
What mistake i am doing to configure module-2 to 0-10 Volt input range.

There is a tutorial on using DAQmx with LabWindows/CVI here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2931. That is probably a good place to start.
Another good article to check out is the NI Ethernet Data Acquisition Overview here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7374.
As far as examples go, there are several text-based examples (as long as you have DAQmx installed) located at: Start Menu >> All Programs >> National Instruments >> NI-DAQ >> Text-based Code Support >> ANSI C Examples.

Getting tarted with LabWindows/CVI realtime

Hello everyone, i'm getting started with LabWindows/CVI and it's realtime module. I've got a NI PCI-6221 and i want to use it to generate some signals. I want to know how to communicate the host (control) part of my software and the targetRT part. Please advice me some example or tutorial which describes howto do that.

There are several examples available in the example finder under Toolkits and Modules » Real-Time which should demonstrate what you are looking for.
Communication between the host and target is usually done using network published shared variables, the whitepaper below discusses this:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4679/en#toc1
You can find an example of this usage here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-3806
Are these resources what you are looking for?

Labwindows/CVI and Android

Hello,
I work in Labwindows/CVI on Windows XP for the moment, I developpe a software and I would like to know if it will be possible to make a software, the same that this one to run on Windows, which runs on Android please ?
My software uses a SQL database (SQL Server) and an OPC Server (Phoenix Contact).
If it's possible, how can I do to create this application and install on a tablet for example?
I just know that a "NI LabWindows™/CVI Run-Time Module for Linux" exists, but I don't know if this module allows me to install my software on a tablet...
Thanks.
Bye Karine

In addition Android programs are normally written in Java, which has nothing
to do with CVI. But I read a tutorial some time ago that showed how to
compile C for Android. So at a very basic level of a pure ANSI C program
with no (or duplicate) user interface, it is possible.

Visual Studio or LabWindows/CVI?

I have a bit of a dilemma.
I currently own Visual Studio 2010, IMAQ Vision Development Module 2013, and Measurement Studio (not sure of version). I currently do all of my programming in VB.net. Because IMAQ VDM is stuck in .Net framework 3.5 and there will be no further .net development by NI, I need to plan for the future. My applications need run on Win 8, 9, 43, or whatever my company decides to migrate to from Win 7.
My understanding is that the NI modules I currently own will work with LabWindows/CVI. Correct? I also believe I can use them with C++ using the VS IDE. Is this also correct?
Within my applications I do a lot of interfacing with Excel, writing text files, and interfacing to non-NI devices (cameras, DAQs, scanners, etc). I am able to do these things pretty easily using VB.net using vendor-provided SDK's.
Therefore, my question is this...given the investment I have in software already, do I gain anything by migrating to LabWindows/CVI? What do I lose?
I should point out that regardless of the path I choose I will need to bone up on my programming skills in the corresponding language.
Thanks for all your help!

Hello Steverino!
Here are some advantages when using LabWindows/CVI over Visual Studio, which make the product more suitable for various industry-related applications:
You are correct, LabWindows/CVI integrates with the NI platform: NI hardware and software, like TestStand or LabVIEW (e.g. debugging source code from one software to another, seamlessly).
NI hardware and third-party hardware connectivity.
OpenMP support.
CVI integrates with intrument control.
CVI Run-Time benefits from User Protection.
Run-Time checking (e.g. for uninitialized variables).
Scientific User Interface Controls and GUI Editor.
Advanced debugging capabilities:
Remote debugging support from ADE.
Real-Time debugging support from ADE.
Memory leak detection using the LabWindows/CVI Resource Tracking Window.
Just-In-Time debugging.
Deployment: build custom installers and patches that you can ship as stand-alone easy-to-use installers.
LabWindows/CVI libraries: Advanced Analysis, Toolbox, Connectivity (Network Variables, Network Streams, DataSocket), etc.
Support for LabWindows/CVI Toolkits: SQL Toolkit, Vision, PID, RT.
Regards,
- Johannes.

How do I send e-mail to a distribution list using LabWindows/CVI?

I need to be able to send e-mail to a user-defined distribution list using LabWindows/CVI? Has anyone done this? Any ideas where I could look?

I commented on something similar to this awhile back. My issue was that I had the base version and didn't have the Internet classes. So this external app worked like a charm
It has a lot of command-line inputer options to use as well.
