Rational Robot and LabVIEW PDA collaboration

Does anybody have any experience/ideas for use of Rational Robot and LabVIEW? We have both software and hardware and were wondering if anyone had any ideas/suggestions/experience interfacing between these two.
Thanks ~ EUPECkat

Re-boujour,
Après une recherche un peu plus poussée, il apparaît que ce genre d'erreur est lié à des fichiers (DLL) manquants pour un chip du fabriquant FTDI. Serai-je complètement dans le faux?
Vous avez donc plus de chance de trouver des infos relatives à ce genre de soucis ici, et plus précisément dans la partie "support" auprès de personnes ayant déjà utilisé ce genre de DLL. Des exemples d'utilisation de ce genre de chip avec Labview sont disponibles ici.
En espérant que cela vous aide

Rational rose and LabVIEW

I'm in the preliminary design stage of a task and I'm debating whether to use Object-Oriented design or Structured Analysis. I'm using LabVIEW with TestStand to control/test quite a bit of hardware (test equipment, I/O cards, VME, VXI, GPIB, ethernet, etc). The UML tool I have available is Rational Rose. Any thoughts/guidance?

Hi MrBean,
Although I'm no expert in the different design
paradigms, and in particular with relationship to Rational Rose (which
I have limited experience with), I would most likely recommend
Structured Analysis over Object-Oriented based mainly on the fact that,
at present, LabVIEW is not an Object Oriented programming language.
Structured Analysis provides more of a "how and in what order are
things done" viewpoint (with its Functional, Data, and Dynamic
viewpoints), and seems like a well suited design method for use with
LabVIEW and TestStand.
Hope those thoughts help MrBean, have a great weekend!

Hi Stephan
Thanks for giving your time for me. I am a new LabVIEW PDA Module user.And I have to do it because of my final year project.I am student from Nanyang Polytechnic (Singapore). I never use labVIEW software and LabVIEW PDA Module software before.This is my first time. The software that i have is LabVIEW Version 8.5. So as what you say is i need to reinstall my the whole LabVIEW PDA Module and all start again? Then i know that for PDA Module i need to download Virtual PC2007.But what else i still need to install? The Window Mobile 5.0 emulator and the rest softwares is it include in the LabVIEW PDA Module software package? If not, please let me know which software i still have to download? Then i go and check the software status that i have and the lincense status is as shown in attach files.Thanks for giving your time and help me.

Can Labview PDA handle XML?

I have spent about a week using the Labview PDA 8.0 development tools and now have acquisition vi's running and storing data, etc...
There is a push in my organization to use XML to tag data. I am still learning what this means, but I thought I would ask if there is any example code, app notes, etc... on XML, Labview, and Labview PDA.
Thanks for any pointer!
John

I haven't used it yet but saw that there is some example code in LabVIEW to read/write data from/to XML files.
Go to Help >> Find examples... to launch the NI example finder.vi and then go to the "search" tab, type xml, there are 3 example VIs.
Hope you'll find what you need there

LabView PDA and Pocket PC2003

I am using Pocket PC 2003 with the LabView PDA.All the documentation deals with Pocket PC 2002. Are there any changes with the Pocket PC 2003? Also I wrote a test application and downloaded to the PDA and that does not seem to execute!Is it bcos of the 2003?
Thanks
Sprasad

I have exactly the same question. I have LabView PDA 7.0 and a Pocket PC 2003, VIs run ok on Pocket PC 2003 but the problem is when I try to run VIs that call DLLs. The ones that work perfect in Pocket PC 2002 don't work in pocket PC 2003.The DLLs were created using EVC 4.0 SP3.
Are these incompatible?
Thanks
BTW: the link does not work

Labview PDA module 7.1 and Windows Mobile 5.0

Hi!
In spite of reading that Labview PDA module is compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0, I've tried to compile an application for Pocket Pc 2003 in my device (which has a Windows Mobile 5.0 OS) and it doesn't work. It seems that the process fails when the executable is being sent to the device. Does anybody know what happens and what can I do to solve it? It's strange because the same application compiles properly with a device with Windows 2003 OS!
If it was not possible to solve, could I create an executable directly in my Pc and then copy it in the device?
Thank you very much for your help!!!!
Greta

I believe it was said that the problem with writing for CE 5 is only with downloading the application, which you need to do manually. You can do this by copying the EXE to the device's shared folder. ActiveSync should automatically recognize that and synchronize the folders, so you will have the file on the PocketPC. Another option is to copy it to the Mobile Device folder, which should appear under My Computer.

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module?

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module? So that it checks with a list of usernames and passwords and allow to go to another VI?
Anu

Anu,
I've attached a really short example that does something like what you're talking about. It just compares the user's username and password a pre-determined username and password and then "logs the user in" based on that comparison. Like Greycat said, you probably want to store this username and password info in some sort of file on the PDA that's in an encrypted format for both security and flexibility of your application.
I hope this helps,

Labview pda module: how can I resize image dynamically in an application?

Hello every one,
I am currently working on the development of an application on a PDA (brand Nomad) and whose OS is Windows Mobile. So I am using the PDA module of Labview 8.6.My problem is the following one: in my application I would like to be able to load images (thanks to their path) in pictures indicators. I load images with the labview “function PDA Image File Load.vi” and then my problem is that images don’t fit with the size of the indicator, and so I am only able to see the left top corner of the image…Of course, I would like to see the entire picture, but I don’t know how I can modify or resize a picture with the PDA Module, where most of the property nodes (zoom factor, scrollbars…for picures) are not available.Has someone ever faced and fixed that problem?? Any help would be really appreciated!! PS: Attached is one part of my application!

How to simulate a mobile robot using labview

Hello,
Is it possible to simulate the movement of a mobile robot using labview?
I mean, is it possible to have a graphics window to show these movements?
Thanks

In LabVIEW there are several options to display animated graphics in 2D and 3D. Here are some examples that can be found in the example library that ships with LabVIEW:
If you need further information I would suggest to post this question with some more details (e. g. a picture of your robot, type of movements,...) in the LabVIEW forum.
Best regards,

Accessing mySQL database from Labview PDA

Hi,
Has anyone tried writing data to a mySQL database or any other database for that matter using the Labview PDA module? I know it's easy to do from Labview and you have to download the ODBC drivers to get it working but I don't think these drivers are available for Windows Mobile (I've seen XP and Linux drivers only). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I don't have experience with this, but you might look into the following:
1. remote connections: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2656
2. this thread seems to indicate .NET doesn't support it yet (but it's over a year old...): http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,73109,73109
3. Another option - you can use VI Server to have your PDA VI call a VI on your host machine if they are networked... there is an example of this that ships with LabVIEW PDA I think - check it out! Thus, if the db is on your host machine, you could write your host VI, and have your PDA VI call it etc.
I hope this helps!

LabView PDA module gives error "unable to lock memory chunk"

I've written a LabVIEW PDA Application that reads an ASCII decimal string through a PDA serial port. I can display the string ok, but when I try to convert the string to a number using the decimal string to number VI I get the error message "App failed. Error Code 172649003. Unable to lock memory chunk."
Any ideas?
Cheers, Paul

Does this happen whenever you use the string to number VI (can you reproduce this in an empty VI)?
Are you sure it happened because of that VI and not because of something else that is happening in the VI at the same time?
Can you cut down pieces of the code and still get the error? Can you post a small example?
Which PDA\LV are you using?
Can you write some more details about your app (does it do anything else other than serial comm)?

Winsockread Error in LabVIEW PDA

Hi all. I am currently trying out the VI server example given in the LabVIEW PDA toolkit but i keep getting this error "WinsockRead error Error Code: 10054.
The LabVIEW example project I am using is "VI Server- Pocket PC.lvproj" and I have loaded the "CallByRef Wave - Pocket PC.vi" into the PDA. I have a WIFI connection to a PC and have manually assigned IP address to both the PDA (192.168.100.101) and PC (192.168.100.100). I have verified my WIFI connection is working by using the "ping 192.168.100.101" command on my PC.
Also, I am configured my VI server correctly by selecting the enabling the TCP/IP protocol and ActiveX under the VI Server Configuration. The port number I used is 3363. I have also added the PDA IP address (192.168.100.101) to the Machine Access List.
When I try to run the example program on the PDA with the IP address "192.168.100.100" and a port number of 3363, I will get the error. Can anyone give advice on what I have missed out or done wrongly?
I forgot to mention that the remote program "TargetWave.vi" on the PC is loaded in memory and opened in LabVIEW also.
Thanks in advance.

D.Com,
I just thought of something else to try. You said you are using port 3363. The program was initially set up to use Port 3865. Did you change the VI server properties (From the project, right click on the my computer icon>>properties>>VI server: Configuration) to port 3363 or just the control on the front panel of the CallByRef Wave.vi? Both must be set to the same port.
Secondly, you may have to open a port in your firewall if you are using WindowsXP SP2. Initially I would completely disable the firewall and see if that solves the problem. If it does, then enable the firewall and create an exception of the port you've specified (3363).
As for using the trial version, this should have no impact on the performance of the toolkit.

Queries about LabVIEW PDA

I have a problem with displaying measurment file on the waveform graph in the PDA. I understand that PDA have some function constraints and does not support "Read from measurment file"function. Is there any way to convert the measurment file to a file which the PDA waveform graph able tom display the result or should i replace the "write to measurment file" function to other function e.g write to spreadsheet? How do I include the header,time and date in a spreadsheet heading?

It would probably be best to originally write your data in a tab-delimited format (including labels, time stamps, etc). Then, you can program the Read from Text File function in LabVIEW PDA to mimic the behavior of the Read from Spreadsheet File VI in LabVIEW.
Once you place the Open/Create/Replace File and Read from Text File VIs on your block diagram, you can write click on the Read from Text File VI and select the Read Lines option. Next, scan through each line for tab characters using the Scan String for Tokens VI, and finally build up a 2D array of all elements in your text file. This may sound a bit confusing, so I have attached a small example VI to this post below (PDAReadFromTextFile.vi). Don't forget to use the Close File VI when you are done reading from disk.
Keep in mind that PDAs do not support array indicators, so you must view any front panel data as individual strings (or one large concatenated string). The Index Array function on the Array palette should come in handy here.
I hope this helps!

Is it possible to run AM Modulation in LabVIEW PDA Module?

Hi All,
        I would like to ask about AM Modulation vis can run on PDA Module or not?Because as i mention that PDA screen is too small to see all the AM modulation waveforms.So i would like to know whether is it pissible to run AM Modulation on the LabVIEW PDA Module? If it is possible, please tell me that how should i modified my VIs on block diagram and how do i arrange all waveforms graph on front panel?
        Then, the AM modulation that i want to run is as shown in attach file.
         Thanks to all for your help.

Hi Jpaul,
             Thanks for your quite useful help. I am now able to manage all waveform in one tab control. But i still have some errors for my final year project. I am from Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic who do the final year project. My project is to transfer over the AM Modulation waveforms on the PDA device. But i still face on with some errors.My error is as following.
(1) After i run my waveforms together with Tab control, the program that appear on the PDA is only too small and only can see half of
      my waveform.As i understand that all the text size must be greater than 20. And I chose the landscape screen for my tab control using.
      The waveform that together with tab control is as shown in attach file.
(2) Then my PDA's internal memory is not enough space for running the new application and when i want to delete it, it is not possible to
      delete and there is error to delete. I would like to know how can i delete my NI files from my memory. My PDA model is HP iPAQ hx2700.
(3) Then I would like to know more about what is the usage of NI CF-6004? Is it like memory card for running NI
      waveforms on the PDA? Or if not what is it use for ?
             I am strongly appreciate for ur help and i know that this might be so many question. But i am really no way to find this errors anymore.Thats why i have to ask to you. I will be thanks for all ur help. Thanks a lot

LABVIEW PDA/DAQmx Base error

I'm building a VI for a PDA (pocketPC 2003)
In a Functions Panel, when I'm going in a menu "Measurement I/O" => "DAQmx Base", it misses many icons. I have installed and uninstalled three time DaqmxBase 2.2 with the same result (icon.jpg). I have installed Daqmx Base 3.0 and the problem is always there. Moreover, when I'm going in menu "Select VI" in a Functions Panels, I can open anothers Daqmx Base VI, but there is many errors (error.jpg).

Hi,
LabVIEW PDA support for DAQ is limited. The number of DAQ VI's available on LabVIEW PDA is also limited.
I could not clearly view your error list but I did run across a possibly useful Knowledge Base article. I am also including the Known Issues with LabVIEW PDA 8.2.1 . I hope this helps!
