SPy TCP/IP with Labview 6

I'm using Labview as a test platform for communication
interfaces.
I would like to perform some traces on TCP/IP.
Which VI should I use ? How do I have to configure it ?
Many Thanks.

Hi,
I recently work on it. Even if I have some difficult I wrote a dll using
Libpcap ( see winpcap.polito.it but it can't be used by LV6 ) and the
associate vi. These run with NT4. My problems now are to decode these
ethernet frames to something usefull like in ethereal or somethink else.
Give your e-mail I'll send you all I do but I can't say when.

RS-232 through TCP/IP with LabView

Hello
I currently have a serial device being read through a hardware RS232 to TCP/IP converter.
On the computer with labview I use a third party virtual serial port that reads the TCP/IP data and converts it pack to COM port data.
I then read the COM port normally with VISA.
I would like to remove the third party TCP/IP to RS232 software and have LabView read the TCP/IP port and convert to serial.
How would I achieve this?
More details on the hardware and 3rd party sofware;

I don't think it's as complicated as you seem to expect. Try the VISA TCP approach. Create a VISA TCP resource, in raw mode, as explained in the white paper. Take your existing code, replace the COM resource with the new TCP one, remove the serial port configuration, and it might just work. Make sure you close the resource when you stop there program.
If you want to go with the TCP functions, take a look at the examples. You open a connection, read and write strings to it exactly as you would with a serial port, and close it when you're done.

Arduino Yun tcp/ip with Labview

Hi. Are you able to use labview to control an arduino yun using tcp/ip wirelessly?(For example turning on and off a relay) Has anyone done it before?

OK, so you'll need to write two bits of software - your Arduino Sketch and the LabVIEW code. You'll need to think about which piece of software will be your 'server' (listens for a connection on a specific port) and which one will be your 'client' (establishes the connection). Once you've established the connection, either the server or client can send/receive data at any time.
You will also need to define a communications protocol - this is the series of commands you send/receive to make things happen. For simplicity, I'd recommend a simple ASCII string protocol (for example: RELAY ON). You'll also need to determine the termination of the TCP/IP commands - this is commonly done using the CRLF character sequence or by prepending the TCP packet length to the data before sending and when you receive you read the 'length' bytes first and then the data.
For the Arduino side - I'm sure you'll find lots of example sketches of how to do TCP/IP communications.
For the LabVIEW side - look in the LabVIEW examples and you'll find a simple client/server example which shows LabVIEW acting as both a TCP server and TCP client.

I want to interface third party/NI Webcam with Labview .

In my application i want to interface 3 NI / Third party WEBCAMS on TCP/IP with Labview 8.6 on host PC having Windows XP OS.
I am using Compact CRIO 9704 hardware with real time deployment module.
For interfacing webcams which drivers i required? OR Any deployment module is available in NI?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sachin,
These cameras will be interfaced throught ethernet or USB. Will they be connected to the PC running Win XP or are you looking to interface them with the cRIO.

Tcp/ip communication with LabVIEW

Does anyone have experience building an application with LabVIEW that
communicates over a socket? I new to LV, but it appears that the
application I have in mind is possible. Specifically, the LV
application would open a socket (port and IP known ahead of time) and
send a character to that socket. Depending on the character sent, the
application on the other end (a UNIX process) would send back a one
integer value to indicate the number of packets to expect. The LV
application would next need to parse each packet for such things as the
packet length, data length and so forth and then distribute those data
to appropriate sub-processes. The header value types are integer,
double, byte and character. The data values are all 4-
byte integers.
The sending code (on the UNIX side) was written in C. The aggregate
throughput is relatively low; no more than 2,000 bytes per second,
including packet headers.
If I can get this to work, the results would represent a significant
cost savings over competing alternatives. As a federal employee, I'm
always looking for the most cost effective solutions.
Thanks.
-Robert
Basically, I'm just looking for confirmation that this sort of thing is
possible with LV. And, I'd like to get a better idea of how hard it
would be to do.

Hi everyone,i am currently trying to communicate with two computers at the moment using TCP/IP.I have done a simple server and client VI but the server doesnt seem to be writing the string im trying to send and it also gives an error message
Error 1 occurred at TCP Write in Server.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
Please find attached the simple server and client VIs i have done.can you help me?
Thanks

HP/Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope - how to connect with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP)

Dear,
I'm looking inf. how to connect Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Z.Mrowka
mailto:[email protected]

Hello,
If the instrument is capable of being controlled from its TCP/IP port, it will be possible to communicate with the instrument from LabVIEW using VISA.
The VISA resource name input will need to be entered manually and is a little different from the normal Serial or GPIB format. The format is as follows:
For SOCKET connections, this is just like the traditional TCP functionality in LabVIEW. An example string that connects with the NI FTP site is:
"TCPIP::ftp.ni.com::21:OCKET"
For INSTR connection, this requires a device that supports the T&M standard LAN instrument protocol. An example of this (that we have tested with) is the Tektronix 3054 Scope. A string that connects with this scope is: "TCPIP::HostnameOrIP::gpib0,1::INSTR"
I hope this
helps,

TCP/IP communication with LabVIEW Full?

Hi,
I would like to know if the TCP/IP VIs are included with the Base or Full version of LabVIEW?
I was looking at the different versions of LV and one of the features of the Pro version is 'Network Communication'.
I have done TCP/IP communication a while ago and I am quite sure it was with the Full version. I have the Pro version now but this is for a customer.
This brings another question: Is there a trick to be sure your code is going to work on a system with LV Base if you develop on a system with LV Pro?
Thanks!

I think that was a good answer to your first question. To answer your second question, if you are creating executables to be run on a computer with LabVIEW Base there will be no problem running the executable because LabVIEW Base has the run time engine. If you are sending VIs to another computer with LabVIEW Base they will not be able to access any VIs that are not included in there package. There is no simple way to tell that these VIs are not included except through the link in the previous post. In LabVIEW 8.6 many of the help documents state what LabVIEW package installs the VI. If all of the VIs state that they are installed with LabVIEW Base you will have no problems.

Does anyone have an example of a c++ TCP/IP client that works with labview TCP?IP server ??

I have the labview TCP/IP client/server working fine, but now I need to do this were labview is the TCP/IP server and the c++ program is the client. Does anybody have a simple C++ TCP/IP client that works with labview TCP/IP server ????

Thanks, you were right, we modified the c++ program to include the port # in the IP address and it worked.We also forgot to convert the port #. I included my labview and c++ program.

TCP/IP with XML

I'm toying with the idea of sending data over a network using TCP/IP. I've played about the the TCP/IP examples that ship with LabVIEW and so am relatively familiar with the basic operation of the protocol and of the providided LabVIEW functions.
One area I haven't found too much information or source code on is the ability to use a markup language like XML with TCP/IP to specify the type of data that is being transmitted. My data source will produce data from different sensors which will have different information (like name of sensor, number of bytes per sensor etc.) that the client will need to parse the data.
Can anyone point me to an example or at least somemore information on the subject. I pretty much want to generate and write some header info for the data so the client know what to expect.
Strokes

With TCP, you always transmit strings. Always.
However you can of course flatten anything you would like into a string, send it, and then unflatten it on the other side.
XML is usually already a string so you shouldn't have any problems there. I suspect part of what you're really asking is how do you let the receiving side know how much data to expect. If you look at those TCP examples in LV you'll see that the always get the size of the string and then send that number over as a U32. The receving side reads 4 bytes (U32 size) and then reads the number of bytes specified in that U32.
From what I've seen this is pretty standard practice. This allows you to send about any string you want without worry. Then whatever data you want to send/receive, you just make sure it's a string, send it, and then unflatten or use it directly on the other end. XML, Doubles, cluster, classes, that's up to you.

Smart camera 1742 selecting inspection by tcp/ip and labview

Hello everybody!
I´m working with two smart cameras NI1742 where i have some inspection for different products, i´m trying via tcp/ip and lab view 2010 select the inspection for each product. i have configured the tcp/ip connection and test it with the vision builder ethernet terminal, this part works very good, but i can´t do this with Labview where i show images from the smart cameras via shared variables.
If someone know how can i do it? please, i will be thankful.
this is my code but there is something that is wrong.
thanks and regards

You are already using the VBAI API in LabVIEW to start the inspection. Why don't use the Open Inspection VI to select which inspection to run and then you don't need a product select state and TCP commands? You can use the Get Target Inspections VI to list the paths to the inspections on your target since they are saved in numbered folders and it won't be obvious what the path is, but once you get the path, it is very simple to just keep one session open to the target and use the API to open inspections, run them, even get images instead of using the variables (you can use Get Inspection Image for the Image or just keep using your shared variable since it sounds like that works fine.).
There are two possibilities I can think of without more info on why your current setup doesn't work:
1. When you start the inspection using the API, I don't think product select works, since it is expected that you just use the API to switch inspections. You can test this out by commenting out your VBAI API calls in LV. Start the inspection from the VBAI executable when connected to the target and the Product Select is in use. Run your VI that sends a TCP command to switch to the other inspection and see if it works (you can reconnect from VBAI and see if it's running the new inspection).
2. There is an error with the TCP command...check the error out of your TCP VIs.
Again, instead of trying to get your current model working, I would switch to using the API for running inspections and selecting the inspections. If you do use the API, you don't need to stop the current inspection, when changing inspections. The Open Inspection VI will stop any current inspection before loading the new inspection. It will wait until the current iteration is done before stopping the current inspection, and the clean up state of that inspection will be called as well.
Hope this helps,
Brad

Example VIs for winsock with LabVIEW 7.0

Are there any example VIs for TCP communications with winsock using LabVIEW 7.0?

I would like to join the request - I would like to know how to use WinSock from within LabVIEW to use a modem to dial a number and connect to another PC with a modem. An extra complicaiton is the fact that I need to be able to vary the number (to access numerous data acquisition stations).

Ocean recovery of Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 stages after liftoff and Dragon capsules after splashdown
Cargo configuration of Dragon capsules going to resupply the International Space Station
Maintenance of Mission Control Centers with the help of our IT department
With the exception of the launch pad equipment program, most of our LabVIEW programs do not interact with DAQ hardware (unusual, I know). The Vehicle control and Mission Operations software get their data via Ethernet from 'black boxes' that connect to NASA & Commercial RF ground stations. We also create several utility programs in LabVIEW that also don't interact with hardware. So, this is mostly a software gig, not a hardware/software gig.
Ideal candidates will have the following qualities:
CLD-level LabVIEW experience
A good understanding of basic computer networking (TCP/IP, UPD, firewalls, VPN)
Must be enthusiastic about space (What year did we land on the moon? How many men walked on the moon? How many Space Shuttles do we currently have? etc.)
Must be willing to travel. Common destinations include Houston (NASA Johnson Space Center), McGregor TX (test site), Cape Canaveral FL (launch site), Kwajalein Marshall Islands (launch site)
Must be able to work without supervision. We have a very flat management structure, no one will be telling you what you need to do. If you don’t know, ask. If you do know, get it done.
About the job:
Job is located in Hawthorne, CA in the Los Angeles area.
This is not a 9-5 job. There will be some late nights.
You won't be LabVIEW only. Everyone chips in as needed. Our group has done Javascript, C++, MATLAB, configuring of TELEX comm systems, cutting of metal with bandsaws, welding, Unigraphics CAD, etc. If we need it and you don't know it, grab a book and learn.
We are only hiring full time employees. Contractors need not apply.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, SpaceX hires only U.S. citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents.

LV can't build DLLs yet. If you are using a recent version, > 5.0, then
you can use the server interface to have LV carry out an execution and
pass back the results. This will work in a separate EXE, even on another
computer if that helps.
The server works LV->LV over TCP, and it also supports ActiveX; so other
environments can control it and have it do executions for them. There
are also some C++ classes on the ftp site that make the ActiveX controls
a little more natural in C++.
