N6030 driver in LabView

Hi:
How do it get MAX to recognize my N6030A. I'm using LV 8.0.
I guess I eventually need it to show up as a selection in my Automation Refnum.
Nothing I do in the MAX IVI setup changes the Auto. Refnum pull down options.
Is there a procedure for all this that I'm missing.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Sorry I didn't address this in my earlier post; if you are just looking to see your card in MAX, there's a couple things to check/try. First, if your device is made to work with NI-VISA, it should show up in MAX under your PXI system. Check to see if it is there, and if it is not, you can go into Tools > NI VISA > VISA Options and check the box next to "Show all devices accessible to VISA." If it still does not show, or you aren't sure your device is made to work with VISA, then you'll need to use the VISA Driver Development Wizard. Try running through that tutorial, and see if it will show after that, or if you can use the VISAIC to find it. The tutorial also discusses using LabVIEW with the PXI instrument as well.
Hope this helps!

Control CD or DVD Drive through LabVIEW

Hi All,
I am interested in controlling my PCs internal CD/DVD drive using LabVIEW. I've had a look around the forums and ni website and it seems that external CD drives can be controlled using a PXI card and the SCSI interface.
Searching the LabVIEW help I haven't been able to find any reference to SCSI but I guess the protocol must be implemented somewhere as it can be used with the PXI card I found referenced during my search.
Initially I would like to just open and close the drive - if anyone can offer some pointers in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Also if anyone is familiar with the level of access provided by SCSI maybe I could get a little extra information. For example eventually it would be useful to be able to control the motor speed of the CD turntable independently - is this type of command exposed in SCSI?
Many thanks for your help,
David

Hp driver for labview for hp8156a attenuator

I am looking for a hp8156a driver for labview. There is not one posted in the driver section of this site. Thanks

Here is a link to the programming manual. Section 8 shows the commands. It will take some work, but you can write your own drivers.

Has anyone used an USB ASIO driver with LabVIEW ?

Anyone has already tried to use LabVIEW to get data from USB audio recording equipment (M-Audio Quattro)?

Hi,
NI-VISA 3.0 is the only driver in LabVIEW that would give you access to an USB device. You would probably use NI-VISA USB Raw mode.
To use the VISA driver you need to know in detail how the device works and how to program with USB. There isn't too much documentation, but if you are clear on those two things it should be easier to get familiar with the NI-VISA API.
You'll need the USB specification (www.usb.org). Also check the NI-VISA Programmer Reference Manual
Hope this is what you are looking for.

HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8

Hi all,
I'm looking for HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8. I have NI gpib/usb controller installed, but cannot control the scope via Labveiw.
The link I found at NI web site within drivers section seems to be broken so I couldn't download it!
Please, anyone, suggest/help!

The link you were given works for me. You can try it again. The given link brings you to a page where the CVI and LabVIEW drivers are listed. the direct link to the LabVIW driver is http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9455659CE034080020E748... .

Reidl,
Thank you for your answer. How do I uninstall my current version? I have looked in "Add or Remove Programs," but I don't see anything under "Xilinx" or "Spartan." I do see an entry for "National Instruments Software." However, when I click "Change / Remove" I don't see any entries for the Spartan Board.
I tried running the installation program, and I received the following message:
The NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E 1.1.0 installation has failed with the following error.
You have a higher version of NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E in your system. You must uninstall it before installing this again.
What is the latest version number? How do I check what version I currently have?
Thanks,

Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6? The latest motion driver seems to be 7.6 and it only support up to LabVIEW 8.5...

If you buy LabVIEW 8.6, you will also get 2008 August Driver CD.
NI-Motion 7.7 driver should be included in it.
Or you can wait for a while.
I guess NI will put on Web these days.

Aeroflex 2975 driver for LabVIEW 8.0

Is there a way to convert the Aeroflex IFR 2975 driver for LabVIEW CVI for use in LabVIEW 8.0? OR, is there a driver already developed for this?

Frank,
I am using the LV 7.1.1 version of this CVI driver in an application I wrote. We should be able to recompile this for 8.0. Basically as I explained with no handshaking the instrument falls out of sync with the controlling computer. Basically the only GPIB command that is supported in that driver is *IDN?. So what I have done is after other calls I use this command and compare the return string to see if it is what I expected. If not I use a popup telling the operator that a GPIB error occurred and to reboot the IFR to clear the bus. I also have instructed the operator to run NI Spy in the background...this seems to cut down the occurance of these errors. Another way to clear the bus that is faster and usually works is to stop the application, and read the bus using MAX until you see a timeout when there is no more data available( usually twice). Then rerun the application. Depending on the application this might be a work around though not an elegant one.
Since the driver was converted from a CVI driver it uses the call library function node. This does not allow us to control the timing between the Write functions and Read functions. If you are doing something that is relatively simple you could use the TCL command set and VISA to write a driver. Just put a wait function between the Write and Read function and experiment with the timing until it looks like it won't fail. I've considered doing this myself but have been hoping that they will actually make the instrument 488.2 compliant. I am assuming that the actual error is that the data buffer is being read by the controller before the instrument is finished writing to it. The other scenario is that the data buffer might not actually be getting flushed every time it is read. I'm hoping my first assumption is correct or they have even more problems with the instrument.
In January of '05' they actually enabled the following commands *SRE xx, *SRE? and *STB?. I recently wrote a simple vi to see what happens to the Status Byte after using IDN? command and reading the data buffer. The MAV bit begins logic low, then goes hi when the data is available. After reading the data (i.e. "IFR Systems, 2975.....) I again query the Status Byte. The MAV bit is still in a logic hi state. I sent screenshots of the front panel and block diagram as well as the .spy files to them. All was heavily notated and they said they were going to look at it. If anyone is interested in this I can post this code as well.

Looking for HP 5371A driver for Labview 6.1?

want to communicate with HP5371A by PC over GPIB port

I think that device is too old for finding a driver for labview. If you have all the GPIB command, it's easy to program. I made it for another type of instrument.

Need a HP3421A native driver for labview 5.1

Hi,
I'm looking for a native HP3421A driver for labview 5.1. Of course I searched in the "Instrument Driver Network" but I foundd only drivers for labview 6.0 and 7.0 or greater.
According to this document: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321691a.pdf#search=%22labview%204.x%20hp3421a%22 there is a such driver for labview 4.x.
Any idea where I could find this driver for labview 5.1 ? A haven't any "Instrument Driver Library CD-ROM".

hi there
the driver he is searching for can be found here (LV 7.0): https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E969E659CE034080020E74...
the driver uses the old school GBIP functions, so it should be possible to downgrade it down to LV 5.1. do downgrade open the "HP 3421A Example.vi" and choose
File->Save with options->Save for previous.
since you only can downgrade to the next prior version of LV you need a ladder of LV versions, but i'm sure that if you ask here you'll find someone who can do this for you.

Agilent Driver Causes LabVIEW to Blow Up and Stop

I have started to use the AG6000A driver for LabVIEW. It seems to work fine until I do a "Text" search and only on specific drivers. When I search on the "Acquire Multiple Waveforms Example"for any text, the LabVIEW application ends suddenly causing a loss in any work that is being performed. Anyone else have this problem?
I am using LV 8.5 on a 32 bit Windows XP OS.

I downloaded the 2nd driver and had no problems and them I download the original driver and again had no problems. All is well now. Something must have happened when I added the driver to the LabVIEW instr.lib folder. Anyway, sorry to bother.

Integrating an NI-USB 8451 driver and Labview Run-Time Files in an installation package of a .vi application

Hello,
I've built a .vi which uses the NI-USB 8451 device (please see http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/202368), and I would like to create an installation package to be used on a costumer's PC, which has no Labview installed on or a driver for this device.
I would like to have this installation as a completely stand-alone setup, so that the user could take this file and run it, and have the driver to the 8451, the run-time files for the Labview application installed by themselves, and have the .exe file working on a completely "clean" PC.
How can I integrate it all in one package ?
Thanks,
Michael.

Nice hearing from you again, Ipshita
I do not call any dll's currently, but am using the driver of the USB device, NI-USB 845x, version 1.0.1
Now, I would very like to make the use of my application, by another user, with no Labview or this driver on his PC, as simple as possible.
I just thought that maybe I could create an .EXE file with some Labview created dll's, which this executable would use, and spare the need of the 845x Driver or Labview Run-Time library prior installation. I could be wrong.
What should I do ?
P.S.
Meanwhile, I've been playing with the Application Builder and tried to create an installation with the Driver and the Labview Run-Time.
It had started the compile, but stopped with the following pop-up window: "Locate the 'NI-845x Software 1.0.1' distribution. Labview needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution..."
(Attaching the pop-up window below)
What is it looking for and where can I find it ?
Thanks,
Michael.

How set parameters of AKD driver with LABVIEW ?

Hi k-usa,
We use Workbench to access these parameters, and unfortunately for many of them there isn't a way to access them in LabVIEW. The manual for using the AKD with our C-Series modules (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375516b.pdf) specifies setting these parameters in Workbench for this reason. I apologize that there isn't a way to access many of them in LabVIEW.
