Need exmamples for FP-CTR-502 for LabWindows​/CVI
I am looking for examples for the FP-CTR-502 for LabWindows/CVI. Any help appreciated!
Currently, there are no 'official' examples for the 502/500 in CVI. However, there are some examples in the work.
I did make a very simple example to measure frequency using a user-specified gate width. This CVI project is attached.

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.
Good Luck

Add Transparency Attribute for LabWindows/CVI Panels
Add an attribute for LabWindows/CVI panels for setting transparency.
Currently, in order to achieve this behaviour users are forced to workaround this using Windows API.
Having an attribute for this purpose would allow users to benefit from this functionality more easily and would make LabWindows/CVI programs more cleaner.
Related forum discussion: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Transparent-Main-Panel/m-p/3172386Greetings LabWindows/CVI enthusiasts,
I am pleased to inform you that the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module Beta Program is now open.
If you are interested in participating in the program, we encourage you to request participation by visiting www.ni.com/beta and choosing to register for the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time beta from the drop-down menu. All previous beta users must re-register for the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Beta to ensure we have up-to-date information. This is a separate beat program from the LabWindows/CVI Beta and must be registered for separately.

Yokogawa UT driver for LabWindows/CVI 6.0 won't translate to LabVIEW 8.6?
The device driver for the Yokogawa UT series furnace controllers is in LabWindows/CVI 6.0 and I would like to use it in LabVIEW. I tried to use the utility to convert from LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW, but it said it couldn't and that the device driver is from before LabWindows/CVI 5.01.
In any case, here is the series of events.
I downloaded the LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW Converter, from
the page on LabVIEW's developer's connection that had the driver for the
Yokogawa UT controller.
From an empty LabVIEW Block Diagram, I click
Tools>>Instrumentation>>Create LabVIEW Interface to LabWindows/CVI
Instrument Driver...
This takes a little while to load. During loading an
FC_Interface_Main.vi runs, apparently trying to find a file.
Once that is done, the two options are Basic and Advanced. I leave
basic selected. I click next. browse to find the ykut.fp file from the
driver I downloaded.
I then click next. The error window that is seen in the screen shot is
then shown.
I called a tech support guy at NI about this, and I e-mailed him with all the above, but there was no reply, though the conversion utility is no longer available on the same web page as this specific device driver.
In any case, if anybody could give a little guidance, it would be appreciated.Hello Screamingzebras,
I converted the .fp file to be version 5.5 and ran the utility that was mentioned. I have attached two files to this post. "ykut.zip" is the converted .fp file (version 5.5). "yut.zip" is the converted instrument driver.

Link errors for Labwindows CVI.
I am currently trying to implement the exer1.cws example from the Cvi sample and tutorials section.
But i get 9 Link errors while trying to generate the DLL.
I have attached the Link errors as a txt file.
Please tell me whats wrong with the program??
I have incorporated the RTmain as entry point function of the program.
I have initialised variables used in the main program globally.
Other user interface functions have also been defined outside the body of the Rtmain program.
Hope this info is sufficient.

ERRORS.txt 1 KBHey , Thanks for the reply.
The tutorial asks us to select the Option as 'Real Time Only'.
I reverted to 'Full Run-time engine' as you asked.
But there is no change.
Although i did debug most of the erros.
I just included the Functions in the headerfile.
But even though, i am stuck with two errors.
I am attaching the complete set as txt file.
Please see if you notice anything unorderly.

Error: LabWindow CVI driver for Lab View 2011 (using hp4145a)
What is the DLL for the Agilent hp4145a instrument driver?
I am trying to convert the LabWindows/CVI Agilent hp4145 intrument driver for use in labview 2011, but keep getting errors related to an incorrect DLL.Hi Courtney L.,
Your prompt response is much appreciated. Thank you.
I have attached the "hp4145 LabVIEW Wrapper Conversion Report" as a txt file
- this report was automatically downloaded along with the"LabVIEW Instrument Driver Import Wizard (LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers)" *(link listed below), and popped up at the end of the installation.
If any specific details or a screenshot will also be of benefit to solving this problem, I will be able to post them by tomorrow night.

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.

LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers
System Requirements
NI LabVIEW 7.1 or later
Windows 2000/NT/XP
Use the LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers to create LabVIEW VIs for VXIplug&play and IVI-C instrument drivers from function panel (.fp) files.
Instrument Driver Network
Before using the conversion utility to create a new instrument driver wrapper, please visit ni.com/idnet to see if a LabVIEW Plug and Play instrument driver is available for your device. The Instrument Driver Network (IDNET) provides support for more than 3,000 different instrument models from over 170 different instrument vendors.
Recommendations
This utility was created for developers of C-based instrument drivers who wish to provide a LabVIEW interface, but do not develop a LabVIEW Plug and Play driver. By developing the C and LabVIEW interfaces together, it keeps the components synchronized, and eliminates the need for customers to create their own LabVIEW interfaces. Vendors should distribute the LabVIEW wrapper files with the associated VXIplug&play or IVI instrument driver, so that end users do not have to visit multiple web sites to download the complete driver.
If you are not an instrument vendor, we recommend that you use this utility only if you have instrument driver expertise. Access to the instrument driver source code is preferred, in case you need to edit the C instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI.
After generation, the wrapper VIs should be tested with the instrument.
Instructions
Once you install the software, simply access the utility from the Tools>>Instrumentation>>Import CVI Instrument Driver...menu in LabVIEW. This software replaces the built-in tool and provides feature enhancements.
For additional information on this utility, view the resources below.

TCP using LabWindow/CVI ? ?
Hi !
I'm looking for ways to learn & use "TCP" communication ( Client /
Server ) together with LabWindows/CVI.
( all examples at your site are for LabView only )
Can you please let me know where to find an TCP Client / Server
applications examples for LabWindows/CVI ??
If posible i'll like the exact addresse of pages contains this
examples/information !
Also if posible i like to know if there is something about Ethernet or /
and Lan ( Local Area Network ) in the LabWindows/CVI.
I want to add that i know about the TCP Client/Server example in the
LabWindow/CVI - Samples, but it is not complete - it is only a skeleton
which not explain
it all.
I also want to know about the hardware i need to establishes a TCP
connection !!
Which cable should i use to connect the Server & Client computers ?
Where exactly should i connect the cable in the computer ?
It very importent for me to get full answer as soon.
Thank you very much !!
Regards
Noam G.I would also like to see these examples, but I can help you on some of this. You don't really need any hardware (since you are accessing this site, I assume you have an ethernet card). For a cable, if you are connecting both computers to a LAN or the internet (direct or via a hub) use a RJ-45 ethernet cable. If you are connecting the computers directly to each other, you must use an ethernet crossover cable. The cables just connect into your ethernet port (where your internet access is plugged into now).
Go here for more info on a crossover cable:
