Reading RFID tags with LabVIEW

Is there an RFID reader which is compatible with LabVIEW (preferably from NI)?
I'm looking into tagging test samples and then reading sample data with LabVIEW. Has anyone done this?
I'm just starting my research so if you can give me some pointers or information about RFID in general it would be useful (costs, suppliers, caveats, and so on).
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
We have a DevZone tutorial on The State of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Take a look through this, it has a lot of information. Also, scroll down to the bottom of this page, it discusses what NI products can be used for RFID reading. We also have a Case Study called "Using National Instruments Software and Hardware to Develop and Test RFID Tags".
Hope this helps a bit!

Read array tags with OPC (not DS) -- LV6.1

Hello DSC experts:
The Siemens OPC server to which I am connected publishes array tags and I cannot change that fact. I can read those array tags using the "Datasocket Read Double Vector.vi" but as the number of tags grows this slow method becomes unreliable. Instead I would like to use DSC but I do not see any Vi that allows me to read vector tags? Like I said I have to live with the OPC configuration as it is today hence I do not think that going through the flatten/unflatten to string method is an alternative.
Any clue?
Thanks a lot,
Chris

Can you do any kind of array indexing when addressing the tag inside the opc server?? Something like tagname.xx or tagname[xx] where you would select a portion of the tagname array data. Could you talk directly with the VISA drivers and use a read multiple registers command instead of a DSC driver?? To my knowledge, the tag engine does not support array addressing for a tag datatype. I do use the method of flattening an array of data into a binary string and writing it to a memory tag, but the array data is created inside labview. I submitted DSC tag array datatype to a request list quite some time ago but never heard anything about it again. I wonder if a DDE connection could be established to read string data. Then do a string to number conversion. What version
of Siemens hardware/software are you using?? I think the tag engine really is lacking with respect to the capabilites of the latest OPC software. I would love to see NI directly integrate an OPC program like KEPWARE so you did not have to use the tag engine. Are you using serial or ethernet communication??

Reading teststand variables with labview??

I'm trying to create a vi that will read the uut serial number from teststand and compare it to a second scan from the operator. Is there a function I can put on the block diagram to read the teststand variable? I've read the using teststand with labview but it's still unclear how to do this. Could I just pull the serial number from the UUT dialog that the user starts the test with instead? The other problem is this is a 4 uut test panel so I need to make sure I compare the correct uut serial number info. Any ideas?

The name of the variable is RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber. When you create your VI, have a string control that you pass this in. This is done when do the Specify Module as shown below. Here's an example sequence and VI as well. You can also make it a bit more complicated by using the sequence context and the TestStand Get Property Value function.

Looking for reader GeoTIFF Tag with JAI

Hello , I'm looking for a java code about Geotiff.
I want to read geotiff tag. How can I do?

Hi...
I have same question. I replied you for getting the information wether you got anything for that or not. If you got any idea then let me know how it work.

Parse XML file, read a tag with whitespaces value.

Hi all,
I've got a problem with reading a spaced value record from xml file using sys.xmltype.
My xml file contains the following:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>;
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<FIRSTNAME>Nik</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME> </LASTNAME>
<AGE>30</AGE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
As you see last name contains four spaces!
Now when I'm trying to read value from LASTNAME record I'm getting a NULL value, but I want it to return me those 4 spaces as they are.
Here is a short code description of what I'm doing:
declare
     xml sys.xmltype;
str1 varchar2(100);
str2 varchar2(100);
begin
     xml := sys.xmltype.createxml(fileContentClob); -- I copy the file content into the fileContentClob variable.
     If xml.existsnode('//ROW['1']/LASTNAME') > 0 Then -- This condition evaluates as true
str1 := xml.extract('//ROW['1']/LASTNAME/text()'); -- str1 gets NULL value :(, I want spaces as they are in the file.
str2 := xml.extract('//ROW[' || 1 || ']/LASTNAME').getstringval; -- str2 gets <LASTNAME/> null tag :(.
     End If;
end;
Seems like when it createxml from the fileContentClob it ignores the spaces and find LASTNAME as a null field.
Do you have any suggestions on how can I fix that, so I can read whitespaces as they are in the file?
I generate the file also using a xml toolpackage from oracle:
declare
strSqlStmt Varchar2(300);
varCtxHdl dbms_xmlquery.ctxhandle;
varClob Clob;
begin
strSqlStmt := 'SELECT FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,AGE FROM USERS WHERE ROWNUM =1';
varCtxHdl := dbms_xmlquery.newcontext(strSqlStmt);
varClob := dbms_xmlquery.getxml(varCtxHdl);
dbms_xmlquery.closecontext(varCtxHdl);
End;

Even if the STORE AS CLOB clause is used to store the data and preserve whitespace for the XML, the actual extraction of data seems to be removing whitespace...

RFID tag reading failed - MI 7.0, MAM 3.0

Hello at all,
I try to make RFID available for Mi7.0 SR14, MAM3.0 SR5, DB2e, Windows Mobile 5, RFID Reader - Microsensys CFCard, Passive Tags (non metal and on metal9).
Currently I don't be able to read any RFID tag. The standard software of RFID scanner manufacturer can read them without any problems. I got the technical details of tags from manufacturer of tags too (see pirfmsycfcrd.tagcfg).
So my questions are:
Why the standard MAM application cannot identify the tags at least?
What can be wrong in my configuration or what I did wrong?
How we can write Tags inital for MAM? Software?
Please take a look to the details of my scenario below:
Thanks a lot in advance if you can help.
Kind regards
Andreas Dommes

Hi Andreas,
based on our conversation on the phone:
Have a look here: SAP NOte: 734102
It tells you what is necessars to get it working. I guess in your case the vendor does not deliver the correct driver for the SAP framework. As I said, you need the exact driver for the SAP driver framework. Cause it was not available in our case, we had to develop that one from scratch. But the model you use - if you ask the person that sells it, he was very helpful in our case as well and it was only a question of a few days to get it working correctly with our own JNI Implementation.
Perhaps the following Notes can be helpfull as well:
793100 - MAM RFID tag initialization instruction
791037 - SAP Mobile RFID Interface Software Installation/Deployment
Regards,
Oliver
P.s. Special greets to Kai and a Merry xMas for you all!

Serial Numbers on an RFID Tag

I am new to RFID technology. My question is: Can 1 RFID tag be designed to capture and transmit 5 non-consecutive serial numbers contained in 1 container box?
If you can tell me if this is possible with minimum effort or much effort, please let me know.
Then, if you also know Oracle's e-Business Suite (EBS), let me know if it's possible to have the scanning of such an RFID tag with 5 non-consecutive serial numbers populate the Serial Numbers form in EBS like on a shipping transaction.

Thanks, Sam.
The EBS modules would be Inventory and Shipping. We do not use WMS.
Uh, I do not know 'edge'. We do not use RFID currently and our volumes are small.
Here's the business issue, whether the solution is RFID or not: Our company makes lasers for fiber optics. Originally, we just made high-end lasers (low volume, high dollar) that were placed into individual container boxes with a barcode label with its single serial number on the outside. All of these lasers were serialized as finished goods in Oracle. Whenever we ship such a laser, we have someone scan the picked lasers manually with a barcode reader one container box at a time. This has not been an issue, since volumes are small.
But now we sell low-end lasers (higher volume, lower dollar), which often are sold in containers of 5. Each of the 5 small lasers have an individual, non-consecutive serial number. Our business areas want these items serialized in Oracle EBS as well, even though it makes more sense to me to track these items by LOT NUMBERS, not individual SERIAL NUMBERS.
The dilemma is: When we ship, let's say, 1000 of these small lasers by picking 200 multi-pack containers, how do we have the shipping guy scan in the 1000 serial numbers?
One way is to print 5 small individual S/N barcode labels on the multi-pack container, then have the poor guy scan in 1000 S/N's into the Oracle Shipping form from the 200 containers.
That's why I was asking if there could be an easy RFID solution. Perhaps log the 5 S/N's in the multi-pack container onto 1 RFID tag. Then have the guy scan the RFID tag and have it insert the 5 S/N's onto the Shipping S/N form, one S/N at a time with a tab entry to go to the next S/N line. That way, the guy only scans 200 RFID tags. Is this crazy (not possible)?

Fast low level Ethernet communication with LabVIEW

Hello, I want to read Ethernet packets with LabVIEW (an private protocol, not UDP or TCP or others). The hardware writes 40 000 packets per second. I want to use winPcap API to capture data. I’ve seen the example «packet_sniffer_project » (and others). It’s an great job. But the soft reads only 1 packet at each time (wrapper dll calls « pcap_next_ex » function) and I lose packets. With my computer, I read 25 000 packets per second. How can I read more than one packet at each time? (or all the Ethernet buffer) Thank You
Micke

Record audio with labview and audio dataplugin

The thing I would like to do, is write waveforms to WAV/wma/mp3 files.
The way to do this, is probably with the help of the audio data plugin.
However, it is far from clear how to configure and use this plugin with LabView. There is documentation available for DIAdem, but what good is that to me, as a simple LabView user?
There is also an example for reading dataPlugin data with LabView, but this example is:
A) not working, e.g. it cannot open a simple WAV file, when using "uspAudio" as DataPlugin Name
B) not documented
C) not handeling errors
D) only reading, not writing, which is slightly more complicated.
So, tips for writing waveform to audio files and/or
tips for working with dataPlugins in LabView would be welcome...

Ok, so, now I can read a WAV/WMA/mp3 file, see attached VI
There's still one problem: writing data to a WAV/WMA/mp3 file. In my "DataPlugin Write Audio File.vi" I try to read from / listen to a microphone connected to a AD card. On the Waveform graph, I see my signal correctly, but in the WAV file, there is only a flat line (zero's).
Perhaps it is needed to add properties to the group, but I don't know which properties to add...
All advice is appreciated...

Hi Junaid,
In one of my AII presentations I found:
Tested readers:
<b>Intermec, Alien, Matrics, Philipps, AWID, Tyco Sensematic</b>
maybe you can call those companies and just ask or e-mail them?
also this may help you:
Simple SAP Device Controller with limited functionality is provided. It supports readers:
- <b>Alien ALR-9780</b> (4-port reader)
- <b>Intermec IntelliTag 500 API</b>
- <b>Philips SDK</b> reader

Error with this Alien-RFID-Tag-List kind of tag format in flex 1.5

Hi all
I am trying to display the following XML file which i am
getiing from RFID reader when i send the command to reader. I am
using flex 1.5.
<Alien-RFID-Tag-List>
<Alien-RFID-Tag>
<TagID>1000 0000 0000 0000</TagID>
<DiscoveryTime>2006/07/14
12:28:18</DiscoveryTime>
<LastSeenTime>2006/07/14 12:28:18</LastSeenTime>
<Antenna>0</Antenna>
<ReadCount>98</ReadCount>
</Alien-RFID-Tag>
</Alien-RFID-Tag-List>
For this I am using the following codes
private function onResultAl(oEvent:Object):Void {
var aResultAl:Array =
mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(oEvent.result.Alien-RFID-Tag-List.Alien-RFID-Tag);
for(var i:Number = 0; i<aResultAl.length; i++){
_aDPAL.addItem(aResultAl
<mx:HTTPService id="aldt" url="aliendata.jsp"
result="onResultAl(event)" fault="alert(event.fault.faultstring);"
resultFormat="xml"/>
<mx:DataGrid id="aldg" dataProvider="{_aDPAL}" width="630"
height="350">
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="TagID" headerText="Tag
ID"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="DiscoveryTime"
headerText="Read Counts"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="LastSeenTime"
headerText="Reliability"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Antenna"
headerText="Antenna No"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="ReadCount"
headerText="Read Time"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
But if i run then I am getting the error :There is no
property with the name 'RFID'.
Could anybody tell me why the compiler is ignoring after dash
in this <Alien-RFID-Tag-List> kind of tag format?
Thanx
kvijai

hi all

Sapscript Syntax to write a RFID Tag on a label with Printronix SL5000r

Hello everybody,
does anyone know the syntax in SAPscript, to write data on a RFID Label with the label printer SL5000r from Printronix. I know you need the command "RFWTAG". But do you also need a special font?
It would be great, if someone could post an example. e.g. to write 1234567890 on the RFID tag.
Many thanks in advance!
Bernd

Hi Andreas,
based on our conversation on the phone:
Have a look here: SAP NOte: 734102
It tells you what is necessars to get it working. I guess in your case the vendor does not deliver the correct driver for the SAP framework. As I said, you need the exact driver for the SAP driver framework. Cause it was not available in our case, we had to develop that one from scratch. But the model you use - if you ask the person that sells it, he was very helpful in our case as well and it was only a question of a few days to get it working correctly with our own JNI Implementation.
Perhaps the following Notes can be helpfull as well:
793100 - MAM RFID tag initialization instruction
791037 - SAP Mobile RFID Interface Software Installation/Deployment
Regards,
Oliver
P.s. Special greets to Kai and a Merry xMas for you all!

Reading a few WonderWare (RSLinx) tags from LabVIEW (client only)

We have a customer that uses WonderWare and Net DDE. We need to read a few WonderWare tags from a LabVIEW application running on a separate computer. I am sure this has been done before but I cannot find a good example that demonstrates the format to use for computer name, service, topic, item name when talking to WonderWare. I could only find an Access and Excel example.
All we need to do is connect to and monitor a few existing tags in WonderWare from another computer on the LAN running a LabVIEW application.
I would prefer to use OPC but they have been using Net DDE for years and do not want to change.
We cannot use LabVIEW DSC.

If you can't use LabVIEW DSC, then your best option would be to use DataSocket to connect to your OPC server. You can find a couple tutorials on DataSocket and using it with OPC servers here and here. These tutorials give information on the syntax to use when connecting to your OPC server.
Another option would be to stick with NetDDE. You can find a tutorial here on using NetDDE with LabVIEW.

RFID Tag reading thru Sensormatic RFID reader

All,
Did any body tested the Sensormatic RFID reader with AII ? How to test the HTTP connection between the reader and AII ? We have configured the HTTP RFC destination in SAP AII. But when we read the TAG from the reader, we are not able trace any response from the reader. How to configure the reader ? How will the Reader understand and send the info to AII. Anybody configured the Sensormatic RFID reader for the outband slap & ship scenario. Thanks.

Velu

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)
