Spectrum analyser for USB raw

Hi,
I am new to Labview. I have a 3rd party RFID device which i intend to acquire the frequency waveform from the device through using Labview. Since as a beginner, i use the spectrum analyser in the "example" section to start off with and now has error in getting the correct Visa USB raw to connect my device. The program intiallly used Visa instrument as the visa resource name but when i changed the input to the USB raw input there is a class conflict error that says "You have connected a refnum of one type to a refnum of another type and both types are members of some class hierarchy, but there is neither a simple up cast nor type cast between the two classes."
For the USB raw setting, i have already configured the device using the NI-driver wizard to install the USB raw and tested it through the MAX. So now i believe the problem should be wiring of USB raw to the entire spectrum analyser example. Attached is the spectrum analyzer example. Really hope to get help on this matter. Thank you.

Variance Analysis for chemicals/Raw material

Hi guys
What u mean by variance analysis....
How we can achieve in SAP
- Pithan

You can create a custom query on your material or purchasing cube containing all your variances required. You can use APD functionality to identify the deviations you want to analyse. Please look 0PP_C01 and 0PP_C05 for planned and actual versions...

Creating a Spectrum analyser

I'm new to Labview and am trying to create a spectrum analyser for use with a accelerometer providing an variable output of 1 volt/g. I'm using a 6024E Data aquisition card which works with other instruments. I'm having a few problems with the program i've created in that it doesn't give the expected spectrum (i've connected the accelerometer to a real spectrum analyser). I've looked at the various examples provided with labview but none seem to be able to offer any help. I've included the file and any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance

In a discrete measurement system, the Nyquist criteria requires you to sample your signal at a rate that is at least twice the bandwidth (or span) you want to measure. In praxis values like 2.50, 2.56 (or higher if oversampled) are used.
So when you expect your span to be 20 kHz you should sample at a rate of at least 2.5*20 = 50 kHz. The same story applies to your "number of lines", so if you request your measurement span to be 800 lines wide, you should acquire data blocks of 800 * 2.5 = 2000 samples.
I have modified your VI to reflect that. If needed you can change the constant value "2.5" to a higher value (like 5.00 or 10.0 depending on the board you are using) to reduce effects of aliasing on your measurement results.

What is the best tools for spectrum analysis

There are many spectrum analysis software component in the of NI product(SMT, advanced signal processing, basic ones).
May I know which is the lastest and best for use.
I am trying to collect data from DAQ 5102 then do FFT. Also, may need select centre frequency and frequency band etc.
A band pass or low pass filter may also need in the future.

Hey turbot,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments support. Each set of the vis you mention are the latest, and some use similar methods to do the FFT than the other. The SMT is usually the best in most applications. There is also another option in the case of scope, you can fetch FFT data from the driver. The FFT is not actually implemented in hardware, but in the driver, and this is transparent to the user. It's simpler to use, but not as efficient as the SMT.
I hop this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of further help.

The example you posted is based on serial port communication. From your software point view, everything is based on RS232. This is quite common in instrumentation. As RS232 is simple compared to USB. The software driver on your host PC emulate a virtual RS232 port.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

GPIB Control of Spectrum analyser

Hi There
I have a HP 8591 EM spectrum analyser and EMC receiver I wish to control this via GPIB.
I would basically like to control everything from my PC if possible which covers everything on the front panel and to pull of all the data for analysis maybe in the fom of a csv file?????.
I have never used LABVIEW before so may I ask that no assumptions are made about how much I should know and any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I intend to use this set up for the analysis of PCBs in a home made faraday cage many thanks for your assistance

That you tried to send that command is half the battle. There are probably just a few tweaks you need to do to get this thing going!

Which is better for usb camera between VISA and imaqdx in labview 2010?

i have done a program for usb camera to acquire images with imaqdx.
now i want to know which is better between VISA and imaqdx in labview 2010?
i didn't study visa before
thans for help.

VISA is primarily used to communicate with instruments via GPIB/TCP-IP/Serial/USB. In order to use easily VISA with an instrument over USB the instrument must adhere to the USBTMC spec. A camera is not likely to have this. Otherwise you have to use USB RAW, and that requires detailed knowledge of the data that is transmitted by the instrument. Manufacturers rarely give this information out. Normally they will provide a DLL to communicate with the instrument.
Thus, in your case, VISA is not going to be an appropriate API to use for a USB camera.
Out of curiosity, what prompted this question?

Computer doesn't recognize USB-Raw device

I have followed EXACTLY the same procedure for setting up a USB Raw device for VISA control as described on the NI support website. I am using VISA v3.2. But when I plug in my USB device, the driver that it associates to the device is the USB HID driver which is not what I want. I have been able to setup the same device on other identical computers (OS, VISA version, etc. was the same) without issue. I have tried multiple times going through the process after removing all USB HID drivers but have not had any success. Any ideas?

Hi ee_engineer,
Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you using the procedure detailed in the following link?
Knowledge Base 325APJ2Y: How Can I Communicate With a Device Using NI-VISA USB RAW Mode?
It sounds like you are experienced with this procedure, so I am not sure without more information the reason that the process is not working in this case. A few recommendations I have are to ensure that you are using the correct VID and PID in the Device Driver Development Wizard, and that it is being saved in the correct place (the Windows INF file). Once this is accomplished, the device should then be detected as a new hardware with NI-VISA as the driver. If you have any further specific questions regarding this, please post them and we will continue troubleshooting this.

Spectrum analyser in teststand

Hi everybody,
I have a question about spectrum anlyser with teststand.
I would like to use with teststand a spectrum analyser (IFR 2399C aéroflex).
I have the driver and those files:
Ifr2399.lib (msvc)
Ifr2399.lib (Borland)
Ifr2399.h, ifr2399_utilities.h
ifr2399.c, ifr2399.fp, ifr2399.hlp, Ifr2399.doc.
Ifr2399_32.dll & ifr2399.lib
I have install the spectrum analyser in the measurement and automation explorer where i defin the driver liker an IVI SpecAn.
now I don't know how to do to use it in tesstand. I don't find IVI SpecAn like i can fin IVI Dmm IVI Fgen...........
Can someone help me to resolve my problem ?
Best regards
Gauthier (french user)

Hello Gauthier,
I would try to get your instrument working with a progamming language before we started porting it over to TestStand. We want to ensure that the instrument will work properly first. You can post to the Instrument Control forum for help with IVI and instrument control issues as well. Lastly, I took a look at the screen shot you posted, and I noticed something. The ANALUSEUR FileGlobal variable is an object type instead of a long, which is what your dll calls for. This might a start, but I would definitely check out the Instrument Control forums. Have a great day!

How do you communicate with a USB RAW camera

I have a USB camera which I am trying to control using LabView. I have followed the tutorial, Using NI-VISA 3.0 to Control Your USB Device, and the device is now recognized by MAX. The device came with demo software allowing me to control it through the PC, i.e. change exposure controls, white balance controls, tell it to stream video and when to capture a still image. All I really need to do with LabView is load initial settings to the camera, tell it when to begin streaming video, tell it when to take a still image, and tell it when to stop streaming video, but I have no idea how to talk to the camera from here. For example, I am not sure if my device uses Bulk, control, or an interrupt pipe, and I am not sure how I can read and write from my device even if I knew the appropriate pipe or endpoint. I also noticed that the "VISA USB RAW Control" VI has fields such as "request", "request type", "index", etc. I read some notes trying to figure out what these meant, but I couldn't find anything. With all that said can anybody name any tutorial/article(s) I should read that will help point me in the right direction? Any help will be appreciated.

Hello kd,
Dennis pointed you to the correct link. You will need the NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras driver to acquire images from a DirectShow USB camera into LabVIEW. As you can see from the attached table image, you will need the NI Vision Development Module 8.5 for LabVIEW 8.5. You can determine which version of the NI Vision Development Module that you have installed by opening the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer, expanding the Software section under My System, and looking for an item called "NI Vision." By single-clicking on the NI Vision item, you will bring up information, including the version number, in the Attributes tab off to the right.

Ageing for the raw materials.

Hi All,
Based on the movement, raw material needs to be analysed for ageing. Reports need to be generated as 30 days, 60 and 90 days period.

Driver for USB 1608 G

Hi everyone,
I'm new on Labview and I want to acquire data from a usb 1608G from Measurement Computing. I can acquire data thanks to the ULx for NI Labview Library included in the usb 1608 G but I would like to use the Measurement & Automation Explorer...
Unfortunately, it does'nt recognize the usb port... Is it because the usb 1608G is not a NI instrument? Is it because I don't have the correct driver?
Thanks for your answers,
Morgane CHARBONNEAU.

Hello,
If you have LabVIEW drivers for your usb device, why you want to use MAX for this?
If you want to communicate using MAX, your device should fall in either USBTMC Class or RAW Class. Starting with version 3.0, NI-VISA supports USB communication for two classes of VISA resources USB INSTR (Test and Measurement Class) and USB RAW (class).
