Measurement Studio Project Conversion Wizard

I recently installed Measuremnt Studio 6 on my machine. I had version 1 before this. I open my VC++ project and it prompts me to convert the project. I answer yes. Everything is OK. I can build and link (after adding NiInterface.lib tolink settings). I save my project and everything seems OK. When I reopne the project it prompts me that my project is using version 1 and I should convert to version 6 but I have already done that. How can I get the Converion Wizard to realize my project has already been converted?

Dear Advantage,
Did you ever get a response or find a solution to this problem? I have the same issue.
Thanks!

VC project to MS project
I find some information in the help file, and...I wonder if the customer misunderstands the function he tried to "convert" VC project to MS project
Maybe we can ask he why he wants to do it, the problem he has, the purpose he would like to do or something else
(Another tip. Don't forget to see the help file)
Using the Measurement Studio Add/RemoveComponents Wizard
This wizard allows you to add and remove components from your existing Measurement Studio projects. For example, you can add the 3D graph component to a project that acquires data. When you add and/or remove components from an existing project, Measurement Studio saves a backup copy of your .dsp and .dsw files to a subdirectory named MStudio_Backup. The backup copies contain "_mstudio_xxx" in the file name, where "xxx" is a number that distinguishes the backup file from other backup files.
Caution: Visual Studio calls the .dsp file from the .dsw file. When you load a backup .dsw, it calls the updated .dsp file instead of the backup copy of the .dsp, which prevents you from opening the backup copy of the project. If you must open the backup copy of the project, ensure that the .dsw and .dsp files are in the original directory and rename the files to their original names. This overwrites the updated project. To avoid losing information, National Instruments recommends that you perform this step with extreme caution and only when absolutely necessary.

Installing Measurement Studio 2010 has caused error PRJ00003 errors in VC Projects

After installing MS 2010, I tried opening and even creating a basic project from existing code and when compiling, I am now getting the following error:
error PRJ00003: Error spawning 'rc.exe'
which seems related to not being able to find kernel32.lib
Anyone know any insight about this? I've found lots of other people having this issue and it seems some path or something got messed up. Just wanted to check to see if anyone else had this happen.
Some system info
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows has v5.0 folder with Include and Lib\IA64 folders (kernel32.lib is in there) and a v6.0A folder which has an empty bin folder and Bootstrapper with bunches of stuff
And my MVS folder is such: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
And regedit sdk key has CurrentIA64Folder and Version as the two keys pointing to v5.0

Hi ngay588,
I have a couple of questions about what you are experiencing:
1. Is this happening with all projects or do projects not using Measurement Studio functions compile successfully?
2. I'm assuming you are building Visual C++ projects, but have you tried compiling other projects in Visual Studio?
3. What version of Visual Studio are you using?
Also, some things to check:
1. Some people who have ahd this problem found that their virus scanner thought rc.exe was an infected file and was isolating it.
2. Check to see if rc.exe is located in the following:
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin

Why the wave is disvisible?? I used measurement studio 7.0.1 in my existing VC++ 6.0 project

I have an existing Microsoft Visual C++ project MyProj. I have installed the NI measurement studio 7.0.1 on my computer yesterday.
I have added a CWGraph control on a dialog of MyProj via "Project-> Add To Project->Components and Controls...->Registered ActiveX Controls->CWGraph Control".
It created 22 classes such as "CCWGraph/CCWPlots/CCWPlot/CCWAnnotations......." in my MyProj,
Now, I create a variable m_GraphCtrl for the CCWGraph Control by classwizard.
I want to used following codes to create a wave and show on the control, in my debugging , it's running no problem, but the control not show a wave.
I have add a plot "1" in the contrl's Properties "Plots".
I have set the "Axes-XAxis-Auto scale" and "Axes-YAxies-1-min 0: max 255" in the control's Properties.
code:
VARIANT vrtItem, vrtData, vrtFirst, vrtInc;
vrtItem.vt = VT_BSTR;
vrtItem.pcVal = "1";
vrtFirst.vt = VT_I4;
vrtFirst.lVal = 0;
vrtInc.vt = VT_I4;
vrtInc.lVal = 1;
vrtData.vt = VT_BYREF|VT_UI1;
vrtData.pbVal = CH1WaveData;//unsigned char CH1WaveData[2500];there have had value already.each value is between 0~255.
// Graphs
m_GraphCtrl.GetPlots().Item(vrtItem).ClearData();
m_GraphCtrl.GetPlots().Item(vrtItem).PlotY(vrtData, vrtFirst, vrtInc);//no wave show on the CWGraph control
//annotations
m_GraphCtrl.GetAnnotations().Item(vrtItem).GetCaption().SetXCoordinate(0.00);
m_GraphCtrl.GetAnnotations().Item(vrtItem).GetCaption().SetYCoordinate(200.00);//this codes worked good,
m_GraphCtrl.Refresh();
Who can tell me why ???

Can you tell me how to measure audio signal frequency in measurement studio with visual basic 6.0?

I'd like to measure two differential input signal(I.e. A+ and A-),below is two test projects,
1.connect A+/A- to PCI 6052E card's ACH0/ACH8 ,and refer to GND for testing
2.connect respectively A+/A- to PCI 6052E card's ACH0/ACH8 for testing
Could you tell me the details of the second project?and give me a illustration in measurement studio with visual basic 6. 0 about the second?
In addition,I would like to measure the audio signal frequency,could you give me a illustration in measurement studio with visual basic 6.0?
Wait for your reply!

Dear kelven,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
To address your question, there are Analog Input shipping examples that demonstrate how to measure an analog input differentially, as you specify in (2).
As for measuring the audio signal frequency, you may want to check out the following KnowledgeBase. The link is:

How to save the value in Cedit control into a text file bu using measurement studio c++?

Im using measurement studio c++ to create a application. How to save a randomly generated value which display in the CNumberEdit Control to a text file? how to do the coding part?

You can use the CNiFile class to write the value out to a file. For example, create a new Measurement Studio C++ project and follow these steps:
Add a CNiNumEdit to the dialog.
Add a member variable for the CNiNumEdit called m_numEdit.
Add a button to the dialog.
Double-click the button to add a message handler for the button's BN_CLICKED message.
Add the following code to the button's BN_CLICKED message handler:
CNiFile file("C:\\Values.log", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText);
file << m_numEdit.Value << endl;
file.Close();
Run the application, edit the CNiNumEdit's value, and click the button. The value should be written to the Values.log
file as specified in the code above.
Hope this helps.

How to use NiGraph control component in the MFC not measurement studio MFC??

I want to use the NiGraph control component in the normal MFC(exe) program, but after you add the component to the project ,it will generate a CCWGraph class, and it doesnt work. If I want to use NiGraph class to plot data, What should I do? Help
Thanks a lot!!!

I have attached an image of the toolbar items. If there items are not visible on your toolbar, right-click the toolbar, and select the item labeled "MStudio" (if using VC++ 6.0) or "NI-Measurement Studio" (if using VS 2003). These items will only be available if you have Measurement Studio support for C++ installed.
I hope this helps

?¿There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).?¿

*There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).*
can anyone elaborate on this?

Same thing just happened to me. I re-output my quicktime movie with chapter markers turned off. You probably have a chapter mark set too close to the beginning, end or near a transition. I didn't have time to futz with the markers so I just turned them off.
Muxing stands for multiplexing. It's when iDVD takes all the data layers, video, audio etc. and multiplexes them into one data stream. When you play the dvd in your player that one data stream is DE-Muxed back into the original layers.
When you give iDVD a quicktime movie with chapter marks it encodes those chapters as separate mpeg 2 clips. When it muxes it combines everything into one stream. If there are any inconsistencies then muxing fails.
DVD Studio pro gives a more detailed log when muxing fails. It usually involves problems with chapter marks.

Why does the Measurement Studio C Tutorial require a SHSQL.DLL?

Running the Measurement Studio C++ Tutorial the first time, I get a "requires SHSQL.DLL" error message on execution. I'm under NT 4.0, SP6. Visual Studio 6, SP5. Looking at the Microsoft site, they say SHSQL.DLL is a symbol handler for SQL. Why would a graphical control of a sine wave generator require SQL code at all? And if its truly required, where do I obtain this file?

This DLL must be required by MFC projects and should be installed with Visual Studio. I have no idea why you don't have it on your system, but it should be in the Visual Studio folder under Common\MSDev98\Bin. I attached my copy to this message (I'm using WinXP), but if that DLL is missing there is likely other missing files and issues. I would recommend reinstalling Visual Studio.

Using measurement studio with my own circuit

Im a computer engineering student
I have designed a circuit which do analog-digital convertor and the computer reads the digital value from the parallel port, and Im looking for an application
I found this nice topic in your site : Measurement Studio Analog Output -- Waveform Generation in Visual Basic

my question is : can I use the parallel port of the PC instead of National Instruments data acquisition (DAQ) hardware in the measurement studio 6.0 ??
thank you alot .
Bader

Hello,
It sounds like your question is really if you can access the parallel port from your Measurement Studio Environment. The answer is yes, and one way to do this is using NI-VISA. In general, I imagine you will be performing viOpen, viRead, and viClose operations on your parallel port. The following discussion forum links should help you get more well rounded on the idea: (note: many of these forum posts have helpful links as well!)

Any example for a MFC, WTL or Win32 without Measurement Studio?

It seems that NI wants you buy their Measurement Studio which can easily cost you a fortune. I am looking around a simple example for MFC, WTL without touching the measurement studio. But if you do not have measurement studio, NI only gives you very old examples in ANSI C which is difficult to implement to MFC or WTL. Apparently they want to increase their revenue by forcing you to buy the Measurement Studio. But I will not buy their hardware in the future if this is their strategy.
Anyone successfully implement the ANSI C example to MFC or WTL without measurement studio? Can you share an example?

Junqi,
Im a little confused with this request in general. What development environment are you using? Visual Studio? Also, what language are you coding in? We provide C, C#, VB.net, and legacy VB6 examples with our DAQmx driver that do not require measurement studio. They can be found in documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
Now forgive me if Im misinformed about this, but MFC and WTL are just libraries that have some of the windows API wrapped into them, correct? If so, I dont see how interfacing with them is any different than interfacing with any other library, or why this would cause issues with doing DAQ calls. If you need help with the MFC or WTL library, there are many good places to find help with on the internet. MSDN, codeproject.com, and many others come up as having examples of using MFC in various projects.
The MS examples dont install withough MS because they wouldnt be able to be used because they use libraries that are installed with measurement studio, so they would be nonfunctional and largely useless.

Remove Measurement Studio Enterprise trial computers with activated Standard licenses

When I install Measurement Studio 2013 on a development computer, activate my Standard Development serial number and license that PC over the Internet, and build some software in Visual Studio, the Enterprise Development trial is automatically selected in the build process. After 30 days, the license expires, and the software behaves as if it is unlicensed - that is, it crashes. A Clean and Rebuild must be run to select the Standard Development license and make the software work again. I believe that this default behavior is incorrect. This 30 day window is often shortly after delivering the machine to a customer, so it fails on their floor right after we leave! This is not good for our reputation or for NI's reputation.
One or more of the following options would be the preferred behavior:
(1) Do not automatically enable the "Enterprise Development" trial. This trial should be deactivated by default when a Standard or Professional license is activated, and a user should be able to open NI License Manager and Activate it as required.
(2) Show a warning on start-up whenever a trial license is used. This is what LabVIEW does: upon launch of LabVIEW the user would see something like "Evaluation License - 5 days remaining". Measurement Studio users do not see this upon launch of Visual Studio, upon building the project in Visual Studio, or upon starting the resulting software. It would be nice if you could provide a link that would instruct users on how to deactivate the Enterprise Development license in this warning.
(3) Use the lowest possible development system. If Enterprise-only features are used and a Standard license and Enterprise trial are available, then the trial is necessary (though a warning as in #2 above would be nice), but otherwise use the Standard or Professional license. This issue has caused us some embarrassment several times. Please fix it!
The workaround, according to Michael Keane from NI (in Service Request #7454045, if anyone from NI is reading this), is as follows:
I assume that in License Manager during those 30 days you would see a green box next to Standard edition and a half white / half yellow box next to Enterprise. The workaround for what you are describing would be to go into ProgramData (hidden folder, will have to type it into Windows Explorer) >> National Instruments >> License Manager >> Licenses and move the Enterprise .lc file outside the Licenses folder. It probably has "TmpEthernet" in the name. This way, License Manager would not be able to find an evaluation version license and I would expect the checkbox next to Enterprise to appear white after refresh. Then, the software would have to look toward the full license and no builds would be expiring.
This works, but is still leaves the possibility for the step to be forgotten and the software to fail shortly after delivery, which is obviously no good at all! Please fix this!

Thanks for the response Daniel,
The issue and behavior are a little different than your scenario. First, I don't add a reference to Analysis.Enterprise.dll. I only use DLLs which my standard license covers. However, if I had used Analysis.Enterprise.dll, there would be no build error. When I activate Standard edition, the Enterprise trial remains active, and is not cancelled or superceded by the Standard edition license.
The process is similar to what you've described, though. I think that the evaluation period is longer than 7 days - I see that described at http://www.ni.com/mstudio/download/, but the manual at http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/350836e.pdf says on page 7 "Any applications you build with the Measurement Studio Evaluation package have a 30-day evaluation period.", which matches my experience. The process goes like this:
I first install Visual Studio 2012, and license it.
Install Measurement Studio 2013 (2015 now!), which defaults to the Enterprise evaluation, licensing itwith my Standard serial number. This is a part of the installation process: Download http://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/labview/ekit/other/downloader/MStudio2015_downloader.exe on a fresh install and click through, and you'll see that there's a screen in the installer which requests the serial number. I enter it in this step; there's no reason for it to be licensed with the Enterprise trial at any time.
Then, I check out the application from our source control, and open it in Visual Studio. The check out includes the DLLs:
NationalInstruments.Common.dll
NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll
NationalInstruments.MStudioCLM.dll
NationalInstruments.NiLmClientDLL.dll

Note that NiLmClientDLL and MStudioCLM are not copied to the output folder. A later entry in the project file includes the license file in the build:

I then build the project, make whatever customizations required for this particular build, and we ship the machine. Then, the customer calls 30 days later, complaining that the program won't start.

Is the digital waveform graph supported in Measurement Studio?

I have an application that could really use the LV-style digital waveform graph in Visual C++. Are there any plans to support the digital graph in Measurement Studio?
Thanks, Bob

Unfortunately, there is currently not an equivalent of LabVIEW's digital waveform graph in Measuremeht Studio for Visual C++. You can fake some of the features with CNiGraph. If you have Measurement Studio for Visual Basic 6.0 installed, you can see some examples of this in the VB DAQ\Digital\Digital Waveform and Digital Waveform Continuous examples. Also, attached is a sample Visual C++ 6.0 project that demonstrates how you can simulate some digital graph features with CNiGraph. There's also a screenshot attached that shows what this looks like. Hope this helps.
