NI USB LABVIEW to c++

Hi,
I am a rookie in labview but I have a project, to get data (sound) from NI USB, then find the peak of the signal in which frequency.
after that I have to send the value of the amplitude to the bluetooth.
I want to use labview until find the peak of the signal (because easier using labview), after that I will use C++ to send the value to the bluetooth.
Is it possible?
Thank you

Yes this is definitely possible.
I would ask (aside from being new to LabVIEW), why not just do the bluetooth communication in LabVIEW as well? Unless there are some kind of C++ libraries that you cannot live without, it should be easy enough to do this all in LabVIEW (in most cases).
But yes, you have a few ways to call C++ code from within a LabVIEW application or vice versa. To call it from within LabVIEW, I would make a DLL out of your C++ code. If you want the main code to be C++ based, you will likely use ActiveX or a LabVIEW built DLL.

EDIT:
Heck, if you really wanted to be crude you could just write two applications and communicate via TCP. You have many options

Normally it's best to use drivers accompanying the USB equipment but you can also use VISA to communicate directly, that requires that you know the protocol of the unit though.

Cant install NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras

i tried to install NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras.but it cant get it to install its giving the error need higher version than 7.0 but i am using 8.0 .also it is saying that it needs vision 7.0 ........??wat are these error ..how can i get it install ????????help
thx
Regards

nolsqn,
Can you clarify what you have installed? You must have all of the following installed to get NI IMAQ for USB Cameras to install:
System Requirements:
- Windows 2000/XP (English,
Italian, Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch,
Spanish/Portuguese, Russian, and simple Chinese)
- LabVIEW 7.0 or higher with NI Vision 7.1 or higher for the USB LabVIEW support
- Vision Assistant 7.1 or higher for the USB Vision Assistant plugin module
- Vision Assistant 8.0 or higher for the USB Express VI
It sounds like you are missing Vision Development Module (this is what is referred to as NI Vision)? Is this true?

IMAQ USB Close leaves the camera open

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with that one. I have a DirectShow compliant USB camera, that I got to work with the IMAQ USB VIs. I can acquire images, enumerate the devices and get the options dialog. However calling the IMAQ USB Close VI does seem to have any effect. As the next time I try to call IMAQ USB Open afterwards I got error -1074396024 until I terminate the host process and restart LabVIEW again.
I am using LabVIEW 8.0, on W2k German
I also tried the samples (e.g. Grab.vi) provided with the same effect.
Running a tool that collects system debug messages (send via OutputDebugString) I got 'Export: Break Connect' coming from the IMAQ USB Close VI, but I also see, that the underlying DirectShow Interface doesn't receive any close call. Is there an Interface missing in the DirectShow interface (which?) or is this a bug in the IMAQ USB Interface (not very likely as a lot of guys seem to be happy with it)?
Can anybody help please?
Greetings,
Stefan

Stefan,
below is an excerpt about the system requirements for IMAQ USB:
- Windows 2000/XP (English, Italian,
Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Spanish/Portuguese,
Russian, and simple Chinese)
- LabVIEW 7.0 or higher with NI Vision 7.1 or higher for the USB LabVIEW support.
- Vision Assistant 7.1 or higher for the USB Vision Assistant plugin module.
In general IMAQ USB is not supported but I will forward the information to R&D.
The following link povides other possibilities:

Webcam labview

Hi!
I wanna do a live streaming of a webcam with LabView. I've been told to use NI-IMAQ but...the only one I found requires a Vision Assistant 7.1... so my qestions are:
1. Can I find a FREE (not a trial) IVISION with the minimum requirements to help me?
2. Can I find a LabView with the IVision included? (I have a LabView 8.0)
3. If I can't afford a IVision...can I still fisnish the project with the webcam?
4. Who can Send me an exemple of a project like that???
Thank you!

Hi snuk,
To use a webcam with LabVIEW, you will need the IMAQ for USB Cameras driver, which has the following requirements:
- Windows Microsoft Windows Vista/Vista x64/XP/2000 (English, Italian,
Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Spanish/Portuguese,
Russian, or simple Chinese).
- LabVIEW 7.0 or later.
- Vision Development Module 7.1 or later
- NI Vision Acquisition Software 7.1 or later, for USB LabVIEW support.
- Vision Assistant 7.1 or later, for USB Vision Assistant plug-in module support.
- Vision Assistant 8.0 or later, for USB Express VI support.
There are examples on the NI DeveloperZone Community, but you will need the above requirements to run the examples. Here is a link to one of the examples:

USB Joystick のホットプラグについて

USB　Joystick をホットプラグしたいのですが、USB　Joystickを接続しない状態でQuery Input Deviceを実行するVIを起動・実行し、そのあとで
USB JoystickをUSBポートに接続してデバイスをOSに認識させた後、再度同じVIを実行しても、接続したJoystickを認識しません。
いったんVIを閉じてから、再度同じVIを開いて実行すると、接続したJoystickの情報が返ってきます。
LabView2011を使用していますが、Query Input Devices,　やInitialize Joystickなどは、VIをロードしたときのUSBデバイスの情報しか使えないのでしょうか？
Windows7　SP1やWindow8のRemoteDesktopで、USBリダイレクトができるようになったので、ローカルのJoystickでリモートコンピュータのVIをコントロールできる

これがLabViewの仕様なのでしょうか？

KatsuTaka 様のご確認の通り、 Query Input Devices,　やInitialize Joystickなどは、VIをロードしたときのUSBデバイスの情報しか使えないようです。
USBデジタルマルチメータなどは、(別の関数を使用しますが)問題なく認識されましたので、
Query Input Devices,　やInitialize Joystick関数　の問題かと思われます。
解決方法になるか分かりませんが、 KatsuTaka 様作成の｢joystick-test.vi｣をサブVIとし、

メインVIを開いたまま、ホットプラグさせたJoystickを認識させることができました。

Omega NI-DAQ in Labview

Dear all,
I'm trying to connect my Omega OMB-DAQ-2416 (with expansion module EXP32) to Labview software. But somehow I'm missing a step along the way I think....
I've installed Labview 2012, and the software from Omega Engineering (InstaCal for calibration, tracerdaq as another software for read out, and the Universal Library, which I think I need to connect with Labview.)
When starting the NI instrument driver finder, I don't see the hardware in the connected instruments list. How should I make the connection (by using the InstaCal software I checked there is proper communication between the Data Acquisition module and my PC (windows-7, 32 bit).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
Evert

MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) is a program made by NI that installs with just about any NI hardware. It is like the device manager for hardware.
Lucky for you your device does have drivers written by Omega.
ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/OMB-DAQ-2416_OM-USB/LabVIEW%20Drivers/
You'll want to download and install them, then use the code on the palette that the installer added. As for general LabVIEW help try some of these.

Hey,
The LV USB driver is just for cameras which are DirectShow compatible.
With the Vision 2009 software the USB part had been integrated into IMAQdx which is also able to acquire from some certain IP cameras.
So either your "Wireless Cam" is direct show compatible or is using a standart IP Protocoll where you can give it a try and see if you can connect to the camera in LabVIEW.

USB-6009 labview 7.1

Hi can anybody tell me if they have had any problems running USB-6009 with Labview version 7.0? I can't get it to recongnise my device and it's behaving as if there is nothing there. Do I need version 7.1 or is there a more sinister problem afoot?

What version of DAQmx Base are you using? The latest version, 1.4, is supported on all versions of LabView 7.0 and higher. It can be obtained using the following link:

USB-6009 with Labview 2014 on Windows 8.1

Hi,
I have trouble connecting USB-6009 OEM with my new laptop with windows 8.1. My USB-6009 OEM device is not shown up in NI Max. So when I check Device Manager, there is a question mark on "NI USB-6009 OEM FW". I tried to install Labview 2011 but still the same. When I tried to choose the driver in Device Manager manually, I can only find NI-VISA driver as the closest one. It is still not working when I open DAQmx to check my card. It is still not detected in NI Max and anywhere within labview. When I used NI-VISA driver, and try to connect the device in NI Max, I get timeout error. I think I need to see NI-USB driver instead of NI-VISA driver. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi Thoo,
You may also want to try reinstalling the DAQmx 14.5 driver first. DAQmx 14.5 is supported on Windows 8.1. Some of the driver files may have been corrupted and reinstalling the driver may solve the issue. If not, using the DAQmx Base driver could be a good option as Dennis suggested.

How do I create Labview VISA ports for *individual* GPIB instruments using Prologix USB GPIB controller?

Hello,
I'm trying to use a Prologix USB GPIB controller to control GPIB
instruments, and I would like to have a virtual serial (VISA) port for
*each instrument*, as is the case with a normal GPIB controller with a
standard NI driver. However this is not what the Prologix driver
provides -- it provides a single VISA virtual serial port for the
entire controller. To address the instrument with GPIB address 11,
you first send "++addr 11" to the serial port, and then you're talking
to instrument 11. However, this means I have to change all old
Labview programs.
Is it possible to create a "wrapper" function of some kind that will
define a virtual serial (VISA) port for each *instrument* on the
controller? For example, to talk to GPIB instrument 11, call it
ASRL3::11::INSTR, each time it is written to it would have to write to
the virtual serial port of the controller, say ASRL3::INSTR, first "+
+addr 11" and then the command that is sent to it.
A clearer explanation of the difference (i.e. incompatibility), and of
my objective:
1) A normal GPIB controller with NI driver: I go to the NI
Measurement & Instrumentation Panel, under GPIB, and Scan for
Instruments; all the live instruments show up; subsequently when I
want to use Labview programs that use VISA ports, the VISA drop boxes
allow me to choose a different port for each instrument, e.g.
"GPIB0::11::INSTR", "GPIB0::12::INSTR" would be instruments at
addresses GPIB 11 and GPIB 12.
2) The Prologix GPIB controller that plugs into a USB port: In
Labview you get a *single* VISA virtual serial port, ASRL3::INSTR, for
the entire GPIB0 controller. Therefore to address GPIB instrument 11,
you write "++addr 11" to the virtual serial port ASRL3::INSTR, and
then you are communicating with device 11, so you can write and read
ASRL3::INSTR to talk to that device. Then to talk to device GPIB 12,
you write "++addr 12" to the same VISA port, and then you are talking
to that device. The problem is that this requires recoding all
Labview code, whereas I would like to be able to use the same program
either with a normal or with a Prologix GPIB controller. Therefore, I
would like to create code that scans the controller for all GPIB
attached devices and creates VISA ports for all. Such ports, when
written to, would have to first write "++addr DEVICENUM" to
ASRL3::INSTR (i.e. the port of the GPIB-USB controller) where
DEVICENUM is the GPIB address of the instrument corresponding to that
port, and then would have to do a write or read or whatever function
is being done on that instrument VISA port.
I haven't figured out if it is possible to do this easily. Help and
pointers on where to look for hints would be much appreciated. Many
thanks!
Milos

My first impression is that if you don't want to make any changes at all to existing programs is that the wrapper you need is one around VISA. You would need to intercept all of the calls into the NI VISA driver. If you create your own visa32.dll and in there, change the addressing and then call the real VISA driver, you might (repeat, might) get something to work. If this would even work, you still might find that you have to make significant changes anyway. The serial connection is going to be considerably slower, and interface specific functions such as service request handling, bus triggering of multiple instruments, etc., would be difficult to impossible. This would be a lot of work, imho, to just save a couple of hundred dollars over a real GPIB controller. I've seen this Prologix device before and have even used NI's RS-232->GPIB controller. The Prologix intended use to me seems to me more for a hobbyist or very casual user. Of course, I'm used to having multiple GPIB instruments worth 10s/100s of thousands of dollars and the cost of an fully compliant GPIB controller is just lost in the noise.

How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?

Hi all,
I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
controller which will make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?

Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.
Here is a link it should be useful http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=340676&query.id=365864#M340676
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How do I browse & play .mp3 files from a USB flash drive using Labview 8.0?

I'm a tester & want to test USB flash drives connected to PC.
I want to browse the file system & playback the audio files, .jpeg files etc in the USB drive. I've Labview 8.0. When I searched for some examples or VIs which can detect the USB flash drive, couldn't find any. So if you could point me in the right direction, I can find a solution to my problem.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You probably won't find specific examples for this. A USB flash drive is mounted by the OS and appears as a new memory storage device to all software on the PC, including LabVIEW. You can certainly write a LabVIEW program to open files on the stick and play/run them but I would create a VI that wrote files to the stick and then read them back and checked them for bit-level errors. Keep in mind that your OS might be doing parity checking under the hood which would make your test rather meaningless.
BTW, testing memory by looking at pics or listening to MP3s would be useless of course. A human can't see or hear bit-level errors in a high bandwidth data stream.

How can I make a labview application for a usb-device?

I've built an application using the FT8U245AM from FTDI. This is a chip that converts signals into usb signals. Now I want to set parameters using labview. There is a driver provided with the chip, that makes it possible to turn the usb port into a virtual com-port. But how do I continue from here? Do I write my application as if it were a classic serial port device, using VISA, or is it more complicated than this?

We had an RS-232 design that communicated with LabVIEW via the plain old serial commands here that needs to be converted to USB and CAN.
A serial-USB chip was inserted to account for the hip USB transition. As i've been told by the electronics designer, it worked without a flaw (I don't remember the type used however).
