Ortec Labview drivers

Hi!,I'm looking for a labview driver for a MCA trump card produced by ortec.
Do they exist? or can they be only used with there supplied software?

Sorry, I don't have a driver for the Ortec MCA but while you're on the
subject of MCAs I thought I would mention a couple of things I've been
working on.
1. I helped a company develop a very sophisticated software package for
analyzing MCA data from reports generated by Canberra, Ortec, and other
MCAs. I used LabVIEW and the application builder to create this package.
2. I've also been working on an automated MCA system that controls and
retrieves data from a Canberra MCA and Genie2k. Canberra's Genie2k supports
Active-X and this made it very easy to control from LabVIEW.
3. One final thing that I am beginning to work on is the development of my
own MCA package that will use a National Instruments DAQ card as the
digitizer. This comes out of frustration with the sof
tware packages that
the other MCA manufacturers provide.

How to use Labview drivers for USB-CAN Adapter

Hi,
I just recently started working with CAN and I have a PCAN-USB adapter. I'm trying to create a programme for monitoring a series of CAN based devices and I've found Labview drivers at the link below. However, I'm not really sure how to start. I have the specs for the device but I don't know how to proceed.
Should I create messages and channels and a data base in MAX first? If anyone has programmed with this dongle before please give me a guide how you went about it.
Labview drivers - http://www.labviewportal.eu/en/device-i-o/82-pcan-usb-driver.
Thanks

I have not used this specific CAN adapter, but I have used other CAN adapters from both NI and other companies. The CAN database in MAX is useful only if you are using an NI CAN device. For all other CAN devices you need to use the format that the library uses; most likely that will be raw CAN frames.
If you do want to use the NI-CAN interface on top of the PCAN library, you can use NI-CAN virtual channels 255 and 256. These are internally connected, so that anything you send on one is received on the other. This makes it possible to do translation between raw frames and channels defined in a database, by opening one interface for frames and the other for channels. You read raw frames from the real device and send them to CAN255, then read them on CAN256; for writing, you do the opposite. However, this still requires understanding how to read and write raw frames on the underlying device, so I'd start there.

LabView drivers for Agilent 54830B scope or E4402B Spectrum Analyzer?

Where can I find LabView drivers for the Agilent 54830B scope and the E4402B spectrum analyzer, or at least a driver for another instrument in the same families that I could modify? There are none on the NI site or the Agilent site.

One thing that I have done several times is get a LabWindows CVI
driver from Agilent. You will be provided with a .fp file. LabVIEW
has a link under the Tools>>Instrumentation menu that allows you to
"Import CVI Instrument Driver." This will take the function calls
from CVI and build a set of VI's with the same name. The vi's will be
wrappers for a dll that is used by CVI and other text based languages.

LabView drivers for USB to DMX512 hardware

Anyone find any hardware (USB to DMX512) that is supported by LabView (i.e. LabView drivers)?

I'm
not aware of any DMX-512 interfaces that come with a LabVIEW API.
However, most of those interfaces come as PCI cards or as
serial-to-DMX512 converters.
In the first case, there is always a
DLL to communicate with the PCI card and you can use LabVIEW's Call
Library Node to call that DLL from your LabVIEW code.
Quite a few
DMX-512 converters are connected through RS232 (or RS485) and LabVIEW
as built-in support for the serial port. This seems to be the easiest
approach. Here is a link to a Discussion forum which discusses this:

Looking for LabVIEW drivers for Aritsu MS462XX VNA?

I'm looking for LabVIEW drivers for the Anritsu model MS4623D Vector Network Analyzer? Have gone to Aritsu's site and downloaded their tools but no LabVIEW source found. The other thing is whether anyone's developed LabVIEW interfaces to theirTools (Navigator or Power Tools or SCE)???

Hi,
Unfortunately, we do not have an instrument specific driver for this Anritsu model MS4623D. Here is a link to the drivers we do have for Anritsu. We may be able to get communication to your device threw another means. How does your device communicate? For example is it GPIB or Serial. We may be able to use an NI driver and a programming manual for your device and communicate with it in LabVIEW threw this.

LabVIEW Drivers for Instruments on DIN-Messbus

I'm trying to interface to a group of instruments supplied by Rabe Messtechnik in Germany. They are networked through the DIN-Messbus protocol. Are there any labVIEW drivers for the following instuments or the protocol itself?:
PPM-60, PIT-1500, PDM-02, PWS-02, CIO-26, PNC-02, PSW-02.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument. Instrument drivers can be found on our website
www.ni.com/idnet
by searching for a specific instrument name.
If you cannot find the driver by doing this, then you have couple of options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other.htm
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicat
e of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

I hope this helps.

Using LabView drivers with LabWindows

Hi.
I'm planning on using LabWindows to operate a progRes camera, which states they have labview drivers. I'm assuming that labview drivers will work with LabWindows, but just thought I'd ask if that's a valid assumption. (I've never used either program before)

Typically, when a piece of harwdware says it had LabVIEW drivers, this means that it has utlity or accessibility functions for LabVIEW. As LabVIEW is its own language, and LabWindows is a C editor/compiler, LabVIEW functions or .vi's will not inherently work in LabWindows/CVI.
While it is definitely possible to call LabVIEW code from LabWindows/CVI, you will most likely want to see if there is a C interface for the hardware from LabWindows/CVI.
Hope this helps.

Is there any labview drivers for Spirent 5500 wireless channel emulator

Spirent 5500 currently doesn't have GPIB capability despite the connector on the rear panel. It is controlled via .net from a laptop. Labview drivers needed.

Clarification:
National Instruments would like to receive driver requests for all instruments that do not have drivers available on ni.com/idnet. Each request is being added to our instrument driver request database and considered for development. We try to develop instrument drivers according to popularity. Unfortunately, we cannot develop instrument drivers for all the requests we receive.
If a customer would like to try developing his/her own instrument driver, we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help him/her in development. This information can be found on our web site: http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm

Are there LabVIEW drivers for the MCC USB-501 temperature logger

I am looking to purchase the MCC USB-501 and use it to acquire the ambient temperature on an event driven basis. The data logging portion is something I am interested in, I just want to have my application acquire the tempture when a certain event occurs. Does anyone have any LabVIEW drivers for this device?

I don't know what you mean by using a logger that collects data on an "event driven basis".
It is nifty little device, but it basically does one thing. It logs data. You load the software, configure it for when to start an how often to log data, unplug it, and put it where you want to log the temperature. When you're done, you get it plug it back in and download the data that was logged.
There is no way to configure it to react to events. It's possible that a LabVIEW driver exists for this, but all it would do is provide an alternate way of downloading the data instead of using the software that comes with it. It is not an immediate or interactive piece of hardware like a normal data acquisition card would be.

Does anyone out there have LabVIEW drivers for either a Z-Mike 1102 (Beta Lasermike) or a Compumotor 6104 (Parker)?

Does anyone out there have LabVIEW drivers for either a Z-Mike 1102 (Beta Lasermike) or a Compumotor 6104 (Parker)?

CompuMotor creates a Motion Toolbox for LabVIEW, but it is not supported by National Instruments.
You can find some support files and downloads for the 6104 from http://www.compumotor.com/support_samples.htm

LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Signal Generator E8257C-520

Could anyone please tell me where to find LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Agilent Signal Generator E8257C-520. I did not find them on NI's web site. Thank you!

To my knowledge, the Agilent 346B Noise Source is not a programmatically controllable instrument and therefore we can't create an instrument driver. I suppose it is possible to be controlled through an instrument (like the PSG) but I don't see any documentation on this.
As for the E8257C, we are insterested in providing a LabVIEW driver for this instrument series. Let me know if you are interested in assisting our development effort by loaning us the instrument.

Labview drivers for Prisma QMS

Hi,
I'm looking for labview drivers for the Prisma Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
from Pfeiffer Vacuum. If possible also a simple rest gas analysis (RGA) VI.
Can anyone help?
Hans Rosink

There is no driver available as the qmg220 uses OPC communication you can use labviews build in OPC functions.
But the problem is that the "normal" labview OPC functions using datasoket are a little bit limited and when you need to adress many OPC items it may crash.
Therefore NI is producing the LABVIEW DSC module which is avialable for extra money and with the main problem that you are not able to build stand alone applications without any extra licencing costs. Which makes problems if you want to sell your software or add it to the instrument you sell.
On the other side the DSC module is a little bit to powerfule for the communication with the QMG220.
Because of these arguments we decideed to use a OPC developement toolkit from Softing .
We started with the .NET developement but there4 was a reasonable memeory leak in Labview when using .NET event callbacks.
This has been solved with Labview 2009f2 and up versions.
Up to now we have made our communication with the Softing ActiveX control within labview.
Now we are on the point to switch bak to .NET.
When try the OPC connectivity from any third party opc API vendor and you are using a remote OPC from labview please tonst forget to add the line.
ole.AuthnLevel = 1 to your labview.ini file.
Hope this gives you a first overview.
We are not planning to build a easy to use driver for the QMG220 but we build a lot of vi's to control some functions and collect the data.
Best regards
Gernot

Labview drivers for agilent e4432b ,can`t find way to control multitone ???

labview drivers for agilent e4432b ,can`t find way to control multitone ???How to deal with it
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Brownheart,
Drivers for box instruments are not meant to cover all applications of an instruments use, only the most common uses. Regardless of discussing whether multitone is a common use for this instrument, a cursory examination of the available functions in the driver does not reveal this functionality.
What you will have to do is create your own config VI using the information from the programming manual of the device. Not ideal, but at least the provided NI driver gives you a starting point from which to add this functionality.

Dan King

LabVIEW drivers for Newport 2010A tunable diode laser?

My group aquired a Newport 2010A tunable diode laser and failed to receive the labview drivers for remote control operation. Does anyone have this software?

All,
Here is a link to a clean photocopy of the EOSI 2010 laser manual:
https://wiki.brown.edu/confluence/download/attachments/29406/Diode+Laser+Manual.pdf?version=1
You can also Google it using "EOSI 2010 laser" and find the maual in the link that says: "EOSI tunable laser diode systems and accessories are guaranteed
for a period .... the 2010 laser diode. The first
method is more sensitive but requires both .." Good hunting.
