Reading thermocouples using LabVIEW 8

I have a legacy application running LabVIEW 8.0.
I have a new NI USB-9162 Hi-Speed USB Carrier with a NI 9211 4-Ch Thermocouple Input.
The NI-DAQmx 9.3.5 driver DVD that came with the new hardware says that it doesn't support LabVIEW 8.
Are there any VI's available that would allow me to read my two temperatures?

Just download and install a compatible driver. Click on the Support link at the top of the page and then DAQmx.

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

How to design LabVIEW programming for temperature monitoring using 4 thermocouples

Hi all.
Sorry if this seems a simple question but I really sorry for the troubles. I'm a new user with LabVIEW and currently using LabVIEW 8.6 for a final year project of mine. I’m trying to monitor the temperature reading in 4 different depth of pavement for every 1 hour interval continuously for 1 month duration. Basically I’ll be using 4 separate thermocouples type J and NI 9219 device. My problems are:
I’m not sure how to design the LabVIEW programming for my application.
How to get the temperature reading data in Excel spread sheet.
How to set the min, max and average daily temperature for each thermocouple.
Thank You.

How to read the data in spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) and put it in Excel using Labview

Hi all, I'm new to using the labview, and I have some trouble doing my project using the labview software.
I have been trying to use the spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) which connect to computer using the GPIB connection.
I have got the instrument driver which can write and control the instrument using Labview 2010.
and my Question is how do read the data or result from the spectrum analyzer and send it to the microsoft excel?
Do I need to use other software or programming to do this step?
If anyone know how is this done, please let me know.
Regards,
Ery

Hi ery,
In order to send data that you have read in from an instrument to Excel, the most convenient way to do this would be to use our Report Generation Toolkit. The Report Generation Toolkit is a very useful tool that allows you to interface to Microsoft Office software from LabVIEW, including Word and Excel. I am not sure if you are familiar with this, but I have attached a link that explains more about the Report Generation Toolkit below.
Another way would be to use the Write To Spreadsheet File VI. While this will store your data to a spreadsheet data file, it will not allow you to programmatically perform any Excel formatting like the Report Generation Toolkit offers. I have also attached a link to some information on the Write To Spreadsheet VI below.
Also, be sure to check out the Example Finder in LabVIEW for a number of examples on how to write data to a spreadsheet file. From LabVIEW, you can go to Help»Find Examples to launch the Example Finder. From there, you can search for "spreadsheet," which should populate examples for use in different applications. I hope this helps, ery. Please let me know if you have any further questions about these!

Reading Tables in MS WORD using LabView & ActiveX

I would like to be able to read tables contained in an MS WORD document using LabView and ActiveX. (I've been successful in doing this with Excel files. ( I am not using the report generation toolkit.) After searching numerous posts with similar questions about LV & ActiveX I've not found any solution to my specific app. In LabView I'm successful doing an "Automation Open", followed by a Property Node, to an Invoke Node ("Documents" Open) and then a Property Node with "TABLES" selected. That's where I get stuck. Now that I have a reference (?) to "Tables" I can't seem to figure out what I need to connect and follow that with in order to now read the Tables in my document. I guess that's due to my lack of understanding as to what exactly this "Table" property node output actually is. Can someone tell me what this reference output is referring to and how I can get to the Tables within the document from it? I've tried connecting both a property node and invoke node to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks. Ed

Dear Ed,
Figuring out "what I need to connect and follow that with" relates to the organization of the MS Word Object Model. Please refer to the Word Object Model Reference MSDN >> MSDN Library >> Office Development >> 2007 Microsoft Office System >> Word 2007 >> Word 2007 Developer Reference >> Word Object Model Reference. You can think of the Object Model as a software hierarchy. You must start at the top of the hierarchy and work your way down to the item of interest. You must descend the hierarchy one level at a time; you cannot skip levels.
At each level of the hierarchy, you have access to the methods and properties of that "level".
Click on the Tables Collection link from the Word Object Model Reference page. Notice how Tables is at the top of the hierarchy. When you have a LabVIEW reference to a Tables object (technically speaking a collection), you then have access to the methods and properties supported by this "level". Click on the Tables Object Members link. Here you will see that the Tables collection supports two methods, Add and Item, and also supports five properties, Application, Count, Creator, NestingLevel, and Parent.
Notice how Mike gets the Count property of the Tables object. He then uses the Item method to return a reference to an individual table. The key thing to take away from this is how Mike uses the Item output node to gain access to the methods and properties of the Table object (not the Tables collection). Mike has descended the hierarchy from Tables to Table. He descends the hierarchy again with the Cell method and Range property of the Table and Cell object respectively. Lastly, the Text property of the Range object, "Returns or sets the text in the specified range or selection."
Effective LabVIEW programming with this type of ActiveX control requires a fair understanding of how Microsoft organized its software libraries. The Object Model Reference is a good place to start visualizing how these libraries are organized. Thank you for using the forums Ed, and thanks for your post, Mike.

How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

Hi,
How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
Thanks for your help.

That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

How to read data from PC format external disk, using Labview MAC

Hi folks,
For years I have not been able to read data files from a PC formatted (created) external disk, using Labview for Mac. More specifically:
- I have Labview 7.01 running on OS X 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4
- I have a 500GB external USB/firewire disk that was formatted on a PC and has data files (custom format) that were created on the PC. I believe that C code actually creates the files, but Labview 7/PC opens the files and appends some info (I don't think the fact that C or Labview touches the files is actually relevant to this issue though).
- I can connect the 500 GB disk to my mac, and it will mount just fine and OS X can see all of the data files (and anything else on the disk).
- if I use my Labview app to open and read a data file it fails:
- open/create/replace.vi (with read-only access) shows a file dialog window that lets me navigate to any file on the external disk.
- but, the vi returns an error 7
- if I use OS X to copy the data file to my Mac disk, my Labview app works fine.
So, does anyone know if:
- I'm just doing something wrong in my Mac Labview app?
- Labview 7.x solves this problem?
- Labview 8/Mac solves this problem?
- OS X 10.5 solves this problem; with Labview 7 or 8; or does OS X 10.5 worsen the problem?
Thanks, in advance...

Hi kehander,
Thanks for the reply. I tried filling a constant path with the Mac-defined path to a data file on the USB disk (ie "DATA2:file1.dat"). This resulted in the same error message.
I then considered that maybe I was misinterpreting the LV error message, and that perhaps I was supposed to address the file using PC-notation (ie. "DATA2\file1.dat"), even though the app is running on a Mac. No joy with this, but I get a different error msg:
"Error 1430 occurred at Open File
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: The path is empty or relative. You must use an absolute path."
Can you share what your reasoning was for your suggestion... I'm not sure I understand why a constant path would produce different results?

Using labview to read from flow computer using modbus

I am doing a project for my final term in instrumentation and attempting to create an HMI in LabView to interface with a Floboss 103 flow computer through modbus. All I need to do is display temp static and pressure like a meter run.
I am using the com1 port RS 485 and converting to RS 232 to the computers Comm1 Serial port. I have the modbus libraries and have attempted to communicate with several examples to no success. I have set up the modbus I/O server and made my shared variables in ranges of 400100-400103 for the first parameter. When i have the block in the block diagram from dragging it over from the project manager and run it it gives me error that the response in unreadble.
Registers in RocLink are configured to 100-103, 200-203, 300-303, with a conversion code of 71 to make it a floating point.
Any ideas on what could be wrong or an example of how to get a value to display on the screen would be much appreciated
Also I am using Labview 2009

Frustrated,
A few questions for ya:
1) You mention modbus library but also a modbus I/O server. Which one are you using?
2) What type of serial cable are you using - null modem or straight through?
3) Can you open hyperterminal and do a loopback test to verify the serial port is working?
4) Are there any coils you can read from the device instead? These are a little easier to read and we don't have to worry about conversion codes
5) Are you getting any sort of error codes?
6) Do you have an extra computer that you can run the serial modbus slave and serial modbus master examples on?
7) Have you tried using any other software to communicate to verify everything is set up correctly? Modbus poll is a useful shareware tool to make sure everything is set up correctly. If this doesn't work, then we know the problem isn't with labview, but with hardware. If it does work, something is wrong on the software side.
I have also seen issues with 485/232 converters in the past causing issues.

How to use LabVIEW read Motorola S-records ?

Hello, every1,
I am trying to use LabVIEW solve the question of S-record file and record formatfile。
My idea：load S-record file and convert array to display it, then, separate 'type', 'count', 'address', 'data' and 'checksum'.
Help me.
3x.
Note: about s-record file:
Motorola S-records
The following fairly complete description of Motorola S-records was found a number of years ago on the man pages of a UNIX system.

Hi
Last week someone asked the same for Intel HEX files. I wonder why these questions pop-up at the same time.
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=169393&query.id=42519#M169393
The program I wrote was for checking the data in the file. I can rewire the S-record reader (it will take some time ) but you have to make the presentation yourself.
Is this an option ?
