Signal express record from 3rd party VI driver

Hi,
Highlight - Can I record data from a 3rd party VI driver in signal express?
Detail - I am tasked with developing a 'easy to use' data logging system for both voltage and temperature. Voltage will be logged via a NI cDAQ module, no problem here, temperature however will be logged from a LakeShore temperature controller, ie from a third party driver. My first thoughts were to use Signal express rather than coding my own GUI, obviously SE is easy to use for cDAQ Voltage modules.... but has it been crippled to prevent the use of VI drivers for third party kit? 
Ideally I would like multiple series plotted and recorded by Signal Express, some from the cDAQ modules and some from one or more Lakeshore temperature controller and monitors, is this fundamentally possible in Signal Express? I can see that SE seems to have the ability to run labview VI's so I am hopefull! 
I am using NI 2013 - full bells and whistles.
Cheers,
Chris

Hello wonderwizard, 
Yes you can use a Plug & Play Instrument driver. Some examples have already been created and mentioned in this Knowledge Base Article.

  • I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    Not without a player..
    The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
    There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
    A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
    Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
    You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.

  • Retina Display MBP - 3rd party optical drive

    Hi,
    I have just received my retina display macbook pro. I would like to view blu-ray movies on the retina display.
    For this reason, I think it would be better to purchase a 3rd party bluray drive instead of the apple superdrive.
    Is there any reason the apple superdrive would be preferable to a third party device? Maybe better integration with the OS?
    Also, does anybody have any recommendations from these three drives:
    Samsung SE-506AB
    Asus SBW-06C2X-U
    Sony BDX-S500U
    Thanks in advance for any advice

    Thanks RobotPi for your answer.
    I am aware that I will need additional software to play Blu Ray movies.
    I am however wondering if a third party drive will be euqally well integrated with Mac OS.
    For example, with a non-apple optical drive, will I still be able to right click on a file and click "Burn .... to Disc"?
    Will I be able to boot from a non-apple USB optical drive?
    Does anybody know any reason why any one of the drives I mentioned is preferable to the other two?
    Thanks again

  • Would it be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as windows platform using parallel?

    I'm wondering if it would be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as Windows XP using parallel software especially if it is isolated from mac?  Any advise would be greatly aprreciated.

    Short answer - yes Time Machine will backup everything within the Mac OS system.
    Longer answer - Parallels creates a pvm disk image "Parallels Virtual Machine" which Time Machine backs up.
    Due to the changes to the pvm file Time Machine is unable to read the minor changes and will somtimes do a full backup of it each time Time Machine runs and can chew through Back up drive space quite quickly.

  • 3rd Party Hard Drives on Intel Xserve

    We purchased an Intel Xserve with 3 80GB Apple SATA drives in the three bays. As we did with our G4 Xserve previously, we wanted more storage and opted to install higher capacity drives.
    We ended up buying four (don't ask!) Seagate Baracuda 400GB SATA 7200 drives. Two worked fine but the other two would (about half the time) either show up on the login desktop about 15-45 seconds after the main desktop appeared after a reboot and occasionally wouldn't show up at all until another reboot was performed. Only about 1/3 of the time they actually show up fine and simultaneously when the main login desktop loads (like they should).
    So thinking it might be a vendor problem, we purchased a Maxtor 500GB SATAII 7200 drive. Same problem.
    On the occasions when the drives don't show up at all, System Profiler doesn't show anything in the bay, nor does Disk Utility see it. Nothing in the system.log or hwmond.log.
    There didn't seem to be any problems with the original 3 80GB Apple drives (also Seagate Barracudas) that originally came with the Intel Xserve.
    Does anyone know why this may be happening? Is it Apple's way of forcing you to buy their (overpriced) hard disks? Why would 2 of 5 3rd party drives work OK and the other 3 not?
    We never had a problem using numerous 3rd party SATA drives in our existing G4 Xserve.

    Don,
    We' upgraded our 2 80GB Apple SATA drives to Maxtor 750 SATAII drives (the ones Apple appears to use in their own modules of that size). I found one drive would consistently mount just fine, either after a reboot or removing and reinserting the module. The other would stay in "orange light" condition - never attempting to access it. (no blue light flicker). What I found after taking the drive back out of the module and reinstalling it is that there appears to be a great sensitivity to pressure on a cable that runs under the drive (and appears to only activate the lights in the front of the drive). For instance, I tested by not screwing the drive into the module at all (mearly letting gravity keep it in the module) and hooking it back up. It mounted immediately. Putting one screw in at a time, I found that the drive would not mount after inserting the second screw. More games allowed me to get all four screws in, the drive would mount but the lights would stay orange. Leaving the drive screwed in, but putting some finger pressure on a side of the drive near the front of the module shifted the drive slightly, and afterwards the drive mounted properly with appropriate signal light behavior.
    If your drive is anything like mine, my guess is that it is very slightly larger than the 80GB drive and pressing the cable into the frame either shorting it, or giving it bad contact via pressure on it's connector at the back of the module. Try shifting the cable, relieving pressure on the drive, etc. until it appears to reliably mount. I've had no problems with the drive since performing this proceedure (though it's only been a bit over a week).
    Good luck!

    Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg.  Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this from Apple?  The Verizon FIOS video website was churning on the error message, "Checking device registration status."  It got stuck in a loop. Verizon tech support never came on. Was on terminal "Hold."  Any recommendations?

  • Migration of Documents from 3rd party software to SAP DMS

    Dear Experts,
    We have implemented SAP DMS . Prior to DMS we were using Third party software for creating and storing the documents.
    There are abot 3000 documents in the third party software, now the challege is how we  must have to migrate the DATA from 3rd party software to SAP DMS with creating Dirs. Are there any upload programmes suffice the requirement or any development needs to be done or any possibilities.
    Kindly help me out in the above scenario.
    Regards

    Hi,
    from DMS point of view I think that SDXA functionality could also be useful for this action. For further information on SXDA functions please see SAP note 817743.

  • Any links i open from 3rd party applications do not open in firefox.

    To be more precise, when i click a link, Firefox does open however it does not visit the URL. It simply opens a new session. I have started Firefox in safe mode and the problem occurs, i have reset firefox to default preferences and the problem still persists. I can see no problems in the setting of Firefox itself and have already tried all the fixes available.
    I am using Firefox 29.0.1 on Fedora 20 64x

    As i stated, when i click links from 3rd party applications, such as skype; a youtube link or something similar. Firefox opens a new session however it does not visit the clicked url

  • Raising a notification from 3rd party software

    Hi
    We have a client looking at raising notifications within the asset management system of SAP via a sql/.net software application. The 3rd party software has a defect register which could be used to open the SAP notification. We would like to populate the fields automatically when the notification is opened.
    Is there a current feature within SAP to raise single or multiple notifications via a 3rd party application?
    Cheers
    Russell

    Hi russel,
    Things are where they were.
    Any Function Module(BAPI here) is the ABAP part. So the solution involves 3 parties.  The BAPI suggested helps in creating a Notification by receiving parameters as Inputs. Where these parameters come from? These come from 3rd party software (you called so) through interface (XI here)
    Flow is like this.
    Interface (XI) - Receives parameters from your Browser (assumed you called it 3rd party) and translates into SAP field names and values.
    ABAP  - Receives these inputs, feeds to the BAPI the output of which is a Notification.
    Note:
    BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE  is a Notification creation tool (Function module) in ABAP. This receives SAP field values as inputs and generates a Notification.  It has got a wide range of applications in regular SAP developments.

  • Which process chain type used when scheduling from 3rd party

    Do we use Local Process Chain or Meta Chain type used when triggering  PC from 3rd Party scheduling tools like Redwood..
    Any inputs...
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    Select "Start Using Meta Chain or API" for the start process when running a process chain from a third party scheduling software or when calling a process chain from within another process chain. 
    I also believe some third party scheduling software will also work if you set the start process to  "Direct Scheduling" and set the start time to immediate but I would recommend just making it a Meta Chain for tracking purposes.
    Thanks,
