Ni-DAQ 7.1 and CVI Function panels
I have an XP system running TestStand 1.0.3 with CVI 6.0, and hardware NI-4070 and NI-6713. I have downloaded NI-DAQ 7.1 driver. However, I cannot find any CVI function panels for the DAQ. During the installation, I selected CVI and all it's subfeatures, but I did not see any installed.
Hi,
To offer support for driver upgrades. the NI-DAQ installer is the one that installs the DAQ libraries for CVI. The first thing to try is to run the NI-DAQ installer from the add/remove programms applet and make sure that support for CVI is selected.
FYI: CVI 6.0 only supports the Traditional DAQ driver, to use DAQmx you would need to upgrade to CVI 7.0; click here for more info.
I hope this helps.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

When using the 6024E DAQ card, with VB5, is there anything that one has to do to close / shutdown the card before exiting the application. The application only uses AIRead_Scan and DigIn_Port functions.
Raghunathan
LV2012 to Automate Hydraulic Test rigs.Hello,
You won't need any other functions after AI_Read_Scan or after DIG_In_Prt since both functions are for none buffered acquisitions.
For more information, I recommend that you take a look at the shipping examples that get installed under the folder C:\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
Good luck with your application! -
Hi, experts,
I'm trying to execute "RUN FUNCTION PANEL" on CVI. During constructing driver, I checked the function panel by this command, but it was failed with error message, Interactive Execution error - Unresolved symbol: _Math_Average.
I do the material in the basic CVI text, and it is very simple function. And additionally, it ran correctly when I completed the driver, then I believe that programming should be correct.
So I'm struggling with editing any settings, but I could not find the solution.
Does anybody have any solution or hint?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello TetsuyaU!
The most obvious solution for this problem would be to enable the Interactive Execution window environment options found in Options » Environment » Interactive Window. These options specify whether project files or loaded instrument drivers are used by the Interactive Execution window. Otherwise, if the corresponding option isn't enabled, the Interactive Execution window fails to link with the symbol from your instrument driver, and you get an unresolved symbol error.
Does this work for you?
Best regards!

How to create function panels for my own C functions?
I've been searching for a way to create my own function panels. CVI documentation seems to suggest that this can be done but the explanation inevitably turns to instrument drivers, not C functions.
I don't yet know what an instrument driver is. So far I've never needed one. I just want to know how to put plain old C functions that I've created into the library tree for coworkers to use. Is that practically possible?The facility is couched in terms of "instrument driver" but it can be used for an arbitrary CVI function you've created.
First make a function tree from File pull down menu new ... Function Tree
Then right click in blank function tree panel and create instrument or use Create pulldown menu, enter name as prompted, use help button. You need to choose a "prefix" for your function names.
The tricky part is when you want to add a function to your "instrument" you right click on the <create class or function panel window> token the first time, thereafter when adding a function you right click on one of the functions you've already added. In either case you want to "create function panel window" which brings up the function panel window editor whcih allows you to place input controls that match the function signature.
There's a learning curve but keep at it. The help is good, use it.

Is there a way to automate generating the documentation from a function panel?
We have some DLL projects which contain function panel (.fp) files. We link a help file to the DLL so that we can call up the help file when using TestStand. As part of the build, we have to manually run Options -> Generate Documentation -> HTML. Then we load the .hhp file into the Microsoft tool HTML Help Workshop and select File -> Compile to generate a .chm file. Then in LabWindows/CVI we can build our DLL with links to the .chm help file.
Has anyone been able to automate this? It seems like it would be convenient to generate the help file in the Pre-build actions section of the Build Steps for the project.
Note: this slightly more convoluted process of generating the .chm file replaces the old method of generating a .hlp file from within LabWindows/CVI.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks, Luis. After generating the ActiveX interface to the CVI server, I was able to write a small command line program that calls GenHtmlHelpFromFPFile.
To generate the .chm file from the .hhp file, there's an executable provided by the HTML Help Workshop (hhc.exe). It only seems to work if you run it from the HTML Help Workshop directory, though. We have the following Build Steps:
cd "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop"
hhc.exe %CVIPROJDIR%\name_of_fp_file.fp -
How to display "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error In Function Panel" dialog?
I'm learning how to develop an IVI-C specific driver using LabWindows/CVI. When I run my function from its function panel and it returns an error, I would like to display a dialog with both the error code and error message (as opposed to simply returning an error code on the function panel). This would save the user from having to call Prefix_error_message() to translate the error code to its error message. NI-DCPower driver is a good example of this behavior (see attached error dialog). How do I show the "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error In Function Panel" dialog? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Attachments:
ErrorDialog.png 8 KBHi Shawn,
Thank you for replying to my post. The checkErr is just an error handling macro defined in ivi.h to goto Error: tag when the function returns a non-zero value. I have been using the checkErr macro (as well as viCheckErr and other macros) in my driver.
Using the same hp34401a specific driver as an example, please allow me to explain my question in more details:
Let's take the hp34401a_close function as an example. It is a simple function with only a few lines of code:
When the hp34401a_close function is run from its front panel using an invalid session handle (e.g. "8" in this screen capture):
You will get three "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error" popup dialogs, one from each of the IVI library functions that it calls: Ivi_LockSession, Ivi_UnlockSession, and Ivi_Dispose. However, there is no "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error" popup dialog from the hp34401a_close itself.
My IVI-C specific driver is behaving identical to the hp34401a specific driver.
In comparison, if run niDCPower_close function from its front panel using an invalid session handle (using the same "8" in this screen capture):
You will only get one "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error In Function Panel" from the niDCPower_close function itself:
I think the behavior of niDCPower driver is much better than the hp34401a driver. It replaces the three "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error" popup dialogs from the IVI library with a single "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error In Function Panel" popup dialog from the driver function itself. I would like to do the same thing with my driver but have not figured out how to display a "Non-Fatal Run-Time Error In Function Panel" dialog. Thanks in advance for your help! -
I cannot get my lab-pc+ board to be recognized by ni-daq 6.7 and/or MAX. I
have installed the board using the add new hardware control panel. Windows
98 seems to recognize the board and give it the requested resources, which
match the jumper settings. I can see it under the device manager. One bit of
oddness is that the "NI-DAQ Information" tab in Lab-PC+ Properties contains
"Bus type ISA" and no other information. When I run MAX (2.0.2.79) and try
to add a new device, DAQ is not listed as an option. I have VISA 2.5b3
installed. After installing the latest VISA beta, I was surprised to find
that MAX does not run inside windows explorer, but always is launched in its
own window. If anyone can suggest how to get my daq board function
ing, I
would be grateful.I had this problem also. Make sure you have administrative privileges. My
problem was that one of the system directories that LV needed to write too
did not have an owner and did not have any permissions associated with it.

Urgent How to fulfill multiple lines input in CVI front panel?
Hi Guys,
I want to paste multiple lines text from other files to CVI front panel, but String, Text Box or List Box can't do when I tried.
Could some one tell me how I can realize it or show me an example?
Thanks in advance!You can add this functionality by using RunPopupMenu to display your own menu when right-clicking on the control: see this discussion and the example attached to this post.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

h.davidHi,
If you want to remove the add-ins of Office 2010 programs, you need to remove it from control panel.
For example, if you use Excel, please try to follow the link to delete the add-ins:

How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L
Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
Any suggestions.Hi buddy,
> Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
Can you find it now? -
How to track the Back and Forword functiona on a JFrame
We are Developing an Application with Java swings.In this we 've used some of the components and are JFrame,JPanel,SplitPane,JButtons and etc.
In this we've used JButton for the Back and forword function as we have with the I.E.
So the Problem is that
when I click Back Button I need to get the Previous JFrame Contents and for Forword I need to get next JFrame Contents the Function are same as back and Forword Functions of Internet Explorer.
I'tried with Undo() Package but I did not get the Required Output
Thanks in Adv,How about the following:
1. Creat a top level container (ie window) with menus,
back/forward buttons etc. using whichever layout
manager is appropriate.
2. Create a panel, and add it to this window. Set the
panel to use card layout manager.
3. Display all output from your app in the panel, and
let the window's back/forward buttons call the
appropriate methods on the card layout manager.
Thanks for reply,
But i had done the same thing i.e icreated a top level(using JFrame) for the buttons menus and etc.
then using the layouts manager.
created a panel andused cardlayout manager but my problem is taht when i add those conetents(called panel contents of the frame) as component and add it this panel then i am geeting thaierror stating
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding a window to a container
so that is the problem i.t it is not get added to the newpanel. -
while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just happenedYou get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say? -
Drag and Drop Functionality in ADF
Hi, i have a cuestion,
I need to develop an application, but i have to determine if it is possible.
I explain..
I have to make an applicacion with elements with drag and drop functionality, i mean.. 3 to n containers on the page, a toolbar, with the possible elements to drag and drop on the containers,
later on i have to join that elements with lines, and to save the view, so, when the users open their workspace, they can see their last view saved state.
In a few words, that's my issue.
I ve been search about it, and i found something about drop target option about panel box componnents, but nothing about drawing lines and saved view states.
Do you know about some examples, o an example application, any help resource will be wellcome
Thanks in Advance!!!!
ABThere isn't a "painting" function built-in.
You can do drag and drop in ADF Faces between components though.
If you want to show relationship between components with lines - you might want to look into the Hierarchy Viewer.
