Modelling/ Documenting Labview with Rose/UML

I know that this may sound a bit crazy (Labview is visual!
Self-documenting!) but having just taken a Rational Rose UML course,
I'm wondering how (if someone were crazy enough to try) to document a
Labview architecture using UML.
It would seem to me that a Labview VI is *similar* in principles to
say, a class: uses relationships, separation of concerns, multiplicity
etc.
Does anyone know if this has been done before? If so, could anyone
point me in the right direction? (searches for Labview + Rose or UML
in google just come up with job opportunities.)
thanks,
-peter
p.s. would appreciate if you cc'd me via email. thnx.

I'd just use the standard class notation, but perhaps create your own
<> for the different types of LabView components.

Custom device / I am trying to use a vehicle controller model developed in LabVIEW with compactRIO (cRIO-9024)

Now I have developed a vehile controller model with LabVIEW so as to run on VxWorks operating system. ( compactRIO cRIO-9024)
And I converted a controller model of labview into *.lvmodel in order to use it as I did with simulink models.
However, converted *.lvmodel was not supported for VxWorks operating system. so after searching for this, I found out that I have to use a custom device.
I am now studying the custom device, but it looks diffcult because I dont have much experience in real-time system.
Here are my questions.
1. Simulation model in VeriStand
Should I convert a labview controller model into *.lvmodel even if I use the custom device in order to run on VxWorks operating system?
If not, what should I do after building a controller model with labview?
2. Operating system
It is silly question. anyway, as long as I run a controller model on compactRIO cRIO-9024, the operating system always has to be set to VxWorks. Is it right?
3. Custom device
This is the most difficult thing. I dont know even what to do. What functions should be inside a custom device template tool? The controller model send output signals to a vehicle model, and receive input signals from a vehicle model.
Thank you in advance.

Controlling a solidworks model using Labview

I am an intern working on a project where I have to controll a solidworks model using Labview. I have to make straight 3-dimensional as well as pan and tilt. I am working with Labview 2009 and Solidworks Office Premium 2007. I have seen the videos on the NI website on how to do something similar to this, but they use Solidworks Office Premium 2009.
First of all, is it possible to do this using the 2007 version?
Would I need to purchase any extra Toolkits for Labview?
If it is possible with the tools I have, I would appreciate any help so that I know where to begin.
Thank You

Labview with industrial robot connection

Hi,
I am in the field of industrial Robots Automation and I am impressed with Labview. So I am plannig to use this as HMI for our industrial robots. Can you please tell me is it possible to connect labview with ABB, Commau, Motoman, Fanuc and KUKA. If yes can you please send me the details.
I saw a third party software called imagin lab but they are doing only for kuka, denso and mistibushi.
Thank you

You've listed 5 different robot types, and while I'm sure that if those robots are able to communicate with any outside resource they'll be able to do so with LabVIEW; they are five different types of robots and will probably require different LabVIEW solutions for each.
The robot model and the specifics of exactly what type of communication you're looking for are also required to know "how to do it."
A couple of quick searches tell me that OPC may be required for some of the robot types you listed. A good place to start with that is here: http://www.ni.com/opc/
Without the specific details it will be difficult to locate an existing solution.
If a custom solution is required, you may be able to find some assistance creating one on the forums. But again, details will be requried.

How Can I choose Iphone 5s models that work with LTE in Brazil. The Iphone needs to Support Band 7. If I buy the wrong model can apple change it ?

I am planning to buy an Iphone 5s in October, but I have to make sure that the model will work with the LTE services we have in Brazil. I know that Apple made 2 Models that support Band 7. See Below.
Model A1457*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
Model A1530*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)
How can I make sure I will buy the correct model through the internet ? Can Apple change the Iphone In case they send the model that does not support LTE services in Brazil ?
Thanks,

Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine. If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How to create a dll in LabVIEW with a 2D array

I'm attempting to create a dll in LabVIEW with the following parameters from Test DLL.vi:
Inputs:
IN1 - Word
Buffer - 2D array of Unsigned Byte
Output:
OUT1 - Unsigned Byte
The prototype is constructed as follows in the Build Specifications of the Project:
uint8_t TestDLL(int16_t IN1, TD1Hdl *Buffer)
The dll builds successfully but when I attempt to use it in another VI (using the Call Library Function block) the prototype appears but it does not look like what was defined from the Build Specifications. Instead it looks like the following:
void TestDll(void );
I attached some screen shots of all the settings as described above.

I have found a person who has a driver software to connect Labview with PCI card. But he says that i need to download a freeware software to configure the PCI card. But you have mentioned that freeware is for GPIB boards. Is it correct ??

I have found a person who has a driver software to connect Labview with a general PCI card. But he says that i need to download a freeware software from NI website to configure the PCI card. But you have mentioned that freeware is for GPIB boards. Is it correct ?? Is there any other way out ??

I would ask the person who told you about the freeware software to help you find exactly where it is. I am not aware of any freeware software for configuring motion PCI cards but maybe the person you know might be able to help you locate it.

Jose A.-
What ports are on the Sony? The digital adapter should work with an HDMI port.
If the Sony does not have an HDMI port, there are also VGA, Composite and Component AV adapters available from Apple.
There is some additional info at <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108>.

I got factory unlocked iphone5s A1530 model from india with warranty... Now i shifting to regina canada so will this phone work in canada with canadian sim card...with Canadian operators permanently...

Remember though, that although you have warranty on this phone, it is only valid in India and NOT Canada, because you purchased the phone in India and iPhone warranty is country specific, so if you have problems with the phone, then you'll need to take it back to India to get it fixed.
If you will be in Canada for any length of time, then buy a new phone in Canada. It will be guaranteed to work then and you will also have warranty cover.

How to use labview with the handyboard

Hi,
how to use labview with the handyboard
Thx...

I'm assuming you're talking about this, since you didn't provide a link for those of us who don't know what you're talking about.
As the other poster said, you didn't say how you want to use LabVIEW with it. If you want to write LabVIEW programs than run on the microprocessor, then you're out of luck. If you want LabVIEW to interact with it, then you've got a couple of options, SPI probably being the best, but it also has DI and AI that you could use to communicate with it - the DI's could be used as a parallel interface.
