Reading Max/Min/Avg with labview from agilent 34401a

Hi,
I'm using Labview drivers I've downloaded from the ni.com
website to control an agilent 34401A digital multimeter. All I'm trying to do right now is read
min/max/avg measurements after putting the device into a DC current mode,
configuring it for min/max measurements, and then pausing for a couple
seconds. The program successfully puts
the multimeter into the correct modes, but always returns 0 for each
measurement. Could you take a look at
the program to see if you find a simple mistake on my part? It should be
attached to this message. Thanks very
much.

I don't have the instrument or manual handy but is it possible that the instrument is waiting for a series of trigger to actually take a series of measurements. do you see the display changing? You can try setting a breakpoint at the min/max function and manually trigger the instrument to see if that makes a difference. Also, you don't need the sequence structure at all. Most of the time, sequence structures just serve to make your programs harder to read and debug. Use dataflow for controlling execution order like in the picture I've attached.

How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data

Table name:
run_log
TYPE VARCHAR2(10),
SUBTYPE VARCHAR2(10),
PROGRAM VARCHAR2(100),
STATUS VARCHAR2(20),
START_TIME      DATE,
END_TIME      DATE
How can I get max, min & average (hours with minutes) of fast 30 days data ?

Hi,
you have to use analytical functions:
SELECT start_day,
       round(AVG(daily_avg)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_avg,
       round(MAX(daily_max)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_max,
       round(MIN(daily_min)
             over(ORDER BY start_day ASC RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '30' DAY preceding AND INTERVAL '0' DAY following)) AS moving_min
FROM (SELECT trunc(t.start_time) start_day,
               AVG((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_avg,
               MAX((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_max,
               MIN((t.end_time - t.start_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) AS daily_min
          FROM run_log
         GROUP BY trunc(t.start_time)) t
ORDER BY 1 DESCAnalytical functions are described in the Oracle doc "Data Warehousing Guide".

Is Max 4.1 compatible with Labview 7.0?

I see that Max 4.1 comes with daqmx 8.3 which is NOT listed as Labview 7.0 compatible. I also see that installing the last daqmx for labview 7.0 (ie daqmx 8.1) would install max 4.0.3. Therefore, if i have max 4.1 installed with labview 7.0/daqmx8.1 am I expected to have issues?

degenste,
Just to clarify a bit, Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) displays a list of NI devices and software on your computer, but it does not install support for those devices. The DAQmx driver is responsible for installing support for our Data Acquisition products. Support for USB M-Series devices was not added until version 8.3 of DAQmx. This knowledge base article describes why the USB M-Series product line has to be used with DAQmx 8.3.
You are correct when saying that DAQmx 8.3 is not compatible with LabVIEW 7.0 as stated in this document. With this set up, your only options would be to upgrade your LabVIEW version or choose a different form factor such as PCI for your device.

In need of a KEITHLEY 2001 single read .vi that is compatible with LabVIEW 7

I am updating from LabVIEW 5.1.1 to 7. The KEITHLEY 2001 Single Read .vi has coercion errors, and does not function. Where can I get updated KEITHLEY 2001 .vi's that are compatible with LabVIEW 7?

You can visit http://ni.com/idnet/, click the "Search Drivers" button
and select "Keithley" as the manufacturer and hit the "Go" button.
Look down the list, and you'll find the LabVIEW Certified Plug and
Play driver for this multimeter scanner.
I hope this helps.

Max, Min and Count with Group By

Hello,
i want the max, min and count of a table, which is grouped by a column
I need a combination of these two selects:
select
     max(COUNTRY_S) MAXVALUE,
     min(COUNTRY_S) MINVALUE
from
     tab_Country
select
     count(*)
from
     (select COUNTRY_TXT from tab_Country group by COUNTRY_TXT) ;
The result should be one row with the max and min value of the table and with the count of the grouped by table, not the max and min of each group! - i hope you understand my question?
Is this possible in one SQL-select?
Thank you very much
Best regards

It's not clear what you want. Perhaps
SELECT MAX (country_s)               AS max_country_s
,       MIN (country_s)               AS min_country_s
,       COUNT (DISTINCT country_txt) AS count_country_txt
FROM    tab_country
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Read Calibration Due Date with Labview

Greetings Everyone,
     I figured out a way to read the configuration of my PXI-1044. I would like to read the External Calibration section of the Calibration Tab in MAX for my PXI-5114 and PXI-4065 (Last Calibrated and Recommended Next Calibration Dates) by using Labview to read it. The preferred format I am looking for is similar to the configuration of my PXI-1044 that extracts data in a Tab delimited format. Thank you in advance for any information that this forum can shed on this subject.

Hi Dennis,
     Thanks once again for your reply.
     I searched all examples that are loaded into the computer and the search came up empty for the file you mention. I even searched for the file on Google and stil came up empty. Is this file something that came with Labview 2011 or Labview 2012? If so I don't have access to that since all computers are running Labview 2010.
     I appreciate your efforts in helping me out. I'm still a little confused as to what System Session Refnum is to be expected on the input of Measurement I/O>System Configuration>Hardware>Property Nodes (Hardware). Looking at the slew of stuff that the property node offers and tying a couple to Text Indicatorsto them it looks like the stuff I'm after. The only thing I would need is to connect the PXI-4065 and/or PXI-5114 to this node in order to extract the data that I need. Property nodes are very new to me and I'm sure they can be very useful. This information is going to be used for a Test Rack Self Test program that I'm developing above and beyond the embedded self test protocol that NI has in its software. I look forward to your response or anyone elses that will push me forward in my education of this software package.  Thank you in advance.

Has anyone used a Redlake camera with LabView?

I can't seem to find any drivers or utilities for the Redlake camera i'm using in my project.
Only this: http://www.imagemill-tech.com/Redlake/Fr_Redlake.htm
But there's no info on how to get that VI (I've e-mailed them, of course).
Any additional information on using the camera with LabView/Imaq would be much appereciated

It looks like the Redlake VIs from ImageMill allow you to write serial commands to your camera. In LabVIEW, you should be able to write your own serial commands using the Serial Read/Write examples that ship with LabVIEW.
I'm curios exactly which Redlake digital camera you have. Redlake cameras are often found under the names Roper (their parent company) or Kodak. I suggest going to www.ni.com/cameras to see if there is a camera file written for your specific camera. If not, please go to www.ni.com/ask to contact an applications engineer.

How set parameters of AKD driver with LABVIEW ?

Hi
I am looking a simple example to set or read paramaters of AKD driver with Labview .
The AKD has ethernet communication and the control is analogue - AKD-P00306-NBAN-0000
I want to use Labview to read the same paramerters like Kollmorgen WorkBench
Thank you for you help
Solved!

Hi k-usa,
We use Workbench to access these parameters, and unfortunately for many of them there isn't a way to access them in LabVIEW. The manual for using the AKD with our C-Series modules (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375516b.pdf) specifies setting these parameters in Workbench for this reason. I apologize that there isn't a way to access many of them in LabVIEW.

Read the min and max occurrence from XSD

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have an XML, but not its XSD so my question is of two fold
1. Is it possible to create an XSD from that XML, if possible how?
2. Assume I get the XSD how do I read the min and max occurrence from that XSD?
PS: I am coding in java and pretty new to it, so it would be really helpful if I get the code snippets for the same :)

How do you create a max/min for a series of input in labview 2010

with labview is there a way to get max/min values from a series of inputs? I want it to graph the data and keep track of what the highest and lowest values were. I am using Labview 2010

While you don't really define what you mean by a "Series of inputs", maybe Array Min&Max PrByPt might be of interest.
(For better help, attach a simplified VI that shows typical data.)

Where should I start from to use HP4145B with LabView?

I am not familiar with LabView, but I have to set up LabView to make it work with HP4145B.
I downloaded the driver from NI, placed it at the correct directory, and can see VI's in function palette.
Also, when I run MAX, it shows "Instrument 0" under GPIB0.
When I click on "Scan for Instrument", it says something about IDN query, but now I know HP4145B is too old to understand IDN query.
I saw a lot of posts that say they can write to the instrument but cannot read.
However, I don't even know how to test whether my labview can write to 4145B or not.
My questions are....
1. 4145B manual says it has "ID" code.
I tried testing it by using "Interactive Control"
And I got this by NI Spy

There are four LED's on the front panel of HP4145B.
It shows status of HP4145B whether it is talker or listener.
LED changes properly to my command. (So I don't think there is any problem with harware connection)
But, I still get nothing but EABO error when I want to read something.
What am I doing wrong?
How can I test "ID" code?
(I do not have ultra-fast typing speed so I think I gave 4145 enough time to respond before I typed new command)
2. I tried to use driver I downloaded from NI.
Other posts say that people used "HP 4145 Example.vi" for testing.
However when I put "HP 4145 Example.vi" on the block diagram, I cannot run it.
How do I test with "HP 4145 Examble.vi"?
3. I tried testing other vi's such as "HP 4145 source setup.vi".
I put that vi on the block diagram window, added constant of 17 to GPIB address,
and other constants to other inputs and run it.
A new window popped up, so I ran it again.
However it does not seem to work since I see no change when I go into source set up menu directly from HP4145 front panel.
Again, LED indicator changes to LTN(which means HP4145B is in listener mode) when I run vi.
What would be the problem?
I'm experiencing a lot of trouble with this HP4145B, and I know too little to solve this by myself.
Somebody please help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

My 4145b uses address 17.
I checked switch setting on the backpanel of 4145b and CRT on the front panel says "HPIB(17, COMMA, EOI)". Also, when I change address to 16 and execute vi file, it gives me an error message of "HP 4145 Define Channel; HP 4145 Send Message"
When I change back to 17 and execute, error message disappears(and no more error message comes in when I send command to 4145b), but nothing happens on 4145b.
As I said eariler, LEDs on 4145b seems to be saying that 4145b understands basic command such as "change to listener" or "change to talker".
In addition, when I try to read from 4145b from "HP4145 example.vi", for example by clicking on "Display Graphics and Plot" and execute, I get error message "HP 4145 Take Measurement; Wait for Interrrupt (GPIB)". However, reading is not the problem to think right now because I don't even know how to read.
I have Newport 1830-C with me, and I checked this instrument with same GPIB-USB-HS and same PC I am using with HP4145b.
It works with 1830C. Therefore, it doesn't look like there is something wrong with my PC and GPIB-USB-HS.
Anyway, thank you for your attention.

DateTimeAxis min/max bug? Problems with consistent padding. Date Wrapping.

I have been working on a problem with a BarChart object that I've created using dynamic data.
My primary issue is that I can't seem to get the proper min/max values to set for the chart.
To solve this I manually found the min and max of the data set of Dates and set the min and max of the chart. This allowed me to finally see all the floating custom bars (each bar is rendered with a user set fill), however now if I have a bar that extends over a year change the horizontal axis labels do not wrap the date properly, so instead of 2/10 (feb 2010) being the last date, 12/09 (dec 2009) is the last date.
I've been trying to dynamically adjust the padding based upon a change event, but so far to no avail. Partially I think because I'm not sure which event for the function to fire on.
private function dateAxisGen(r:Array):void {
                var min:Number = r[0].startTime.time;
                var max:Number = r[0].endTime.time;
                const PAD:Number = 2;
                const MILLISEC_IN_MONTH:Number = 2629743830;
                const MILLISEC_IN_WEEK:Number = 604800000;
                const MILLISEC_IN_DAY:Number = 864;
                for (var i:int = 1; i < r.length; i++) {
                    var o:OperationXT = OperationXT(r[i]);
                    min = Math.min(o.startTime.time, min);
                    max = Math.max(o.endTime.time, max);
                // Calculates the maximum range, then adds an appropriate
                // padding to the chart via extra time. TODO
                /* var range:Number = max - min;
                if(range >= MILLISEC_IN_MONTH) {
                    dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_WEEK/1000000)/PAD;
                    dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_WEEK/1000000)/PAD;
                } else if(range >= MILLISEC_IN_WEEK) {
                    dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_DAY)/PAD;
                    dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_DAY)/PAD;
                } else {
                    dAxis.padding = PAD;
                dAxis.minimum = new Date(min);
                dAxis.maximum = new Date(max);
this, however, does not adjust the padding properly when an operation is removed from the list. Not to mention I still have the date wrapping error. It gives me the following error:
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Any help with my problem would be greatly appreciated.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Alright, so I've discovered that the ONLY time the date wrapping error occurs is when the axis labels contain only the month and year, any other time it places it properly.
Does anyone know where I can report this bug?

Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

Hi, everyone.
I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
and it gave me the error message like:
Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.

How do you choose a particular Channel from an Advise.vi to perform an Array Max & Min.vi on that particular channel only?

Reading all the channels for a FP-AI-100 through an Advise.vi but I need to read the Max & Min from channels 0 & 1. How is this done?
Thanks

The easiest way is to use two copies of the Index Array function. You would wire the output from FP Advise.vi to the n-dimension array input of both Index Array functions. For channel 0, you would use the an index value of 0 (on the first Index Array) and for channel 1, you would use an index value of 1 (on the second Index Array). Alternatively, the Index Array function is what is called a growable array function, you can drag the bottom of the node downwards, adding outputs. In this case, you can set it for two outputs and only use one copy of the Index Array.
Considering that you are relatively new to FieldPoint and LabVIEW, I recommend that you consider using the FP Read.vi instead of the FP Advise.vi. The FP Advise.vi is a more advanced version of the
FP Read.vi and has more "gotcha's" in its use. To save yourself some debugging headaches it may be easier to use the FP Read.vi. The single biggest difference in coding between the two is that an FP Advise.vi in a loop, automatically times the loop, whereas an FP Read.vi in a loop requires a timer such as Wait Until Next ms Multiple.vi.

Old FP-1000 app developed with LabVIEW 5.1.1, not running correctly since updating to MAX 4.5/FP6.0.2

I have an old application built under LabVIEW 5.1.1 which opens an .iak file (the file path is embedded in the app) and reads/writes to modules attached to an FP-1000. Recently I was forced to move the setup onto a new PC and now I'm unable to get the app to communicate with the FP hardware. The new PC has recent drivers installed (MAX 4.5, FP drivers 6.0.2). From MAX, I can open the .iak file and communicate with the FP hardware, so I'm unsure of where the problem lies. Are there version limitations with such old LabVIEW code and new FieldPoint drivers? Sorry, I haven't visited this setup for a long time (nor did I create it originally), so I'm a bit rusty on FieldPoint setups. Any guidance would be much appreciated - I'm trying to avoid having to redevelop the app.
Thanks,

Thanks, Chris, for replying.
I have every version of LabVIEW from 5.0 through 2009 beta available, though not presently installed. I was trying to avoid having to bring this app back into the development environment.
Since I posted last, I experimented and fixed the issue. I took a current copy of FPLVMgr.dll (version 6.0.0) and dropped it into the support directory for the app, replacing the old (3.0.0) DLL which was there. So, the answer to my question seems to be, an old LV executable can use a new FP DLL, and apparently must do so if the MAX/FP driver installation is updated.
Hope this info is useful to others.
