Switch Executive Libraries for LabVIEW 8.2

My company uses LabVIEW, TestStand, Switch Executive, and more. I'm in the process of setting up a new PC with LV8.2, TS3.5, and SE2.1. It seems, however, that this version of SE does not have libraries for LV8.2. There are directories on the CD for LV7.0, 7.1, and 8.0, but not 8.2. When I install, as expected, there is no option to get support for LV8.2-- only the other versions I listed. I need the nise.llb file but am not sure if I should just install the 8.0 version into my LabVIEW 8.2 directory. It just seems strange to me that the libraries for 8.2 are not there. Can someone please provide me some direction here?
I'm new here so please keep your responses at the "new college hire" level .
Thanks,
Greg

Hi TekGreg,
The attached file was written in the format of a KnowledgeBase document and details how you can use Switch Executive version 2.1 with LabVIEW 8.2. The workaround is simply to copy files from 8.0 to 8.2, but you want to make sure you copy them all. Let me know if you have further questions or if this does not resolve your issue!

How to use g++ to build shared libraries for labview in linux?

does anyone knows if it's possible to compile a shared library in linux with g++ that could be recognized by labview?
thks
JP

Hi JP,
Yes you can use g++ to build shared libraries that labview can use. You'll want to give your C++ library a C interface. This is really common practice. You can do this by simply declaring functions as 'extern "C"'. Here is a link with more information:

I've personally worked on projects that do exactly what you want to do.

Conflict using simultaneously IVI Switch and Switch Executive ?

Hi,
I use IVI Switch and Switch Executive libraries in an Labwindows CVI project, and I meet some problems :
I call SE lib for InitSession/CloseSession/FindRoute and Connect/Disconnect (apply to any switch devices in the SE configuration).
I call IVI Switch lib for SelfTest and Reset (apply to a single device).
But when I do an IVI Switch Reset then a Switch Executive Connect or Disconnect, an error occurs : Switch Executive seems to ignore what IVI Switch operations do to the device ?
Also, can you tell me if :
niSE_OpenSession performs a self test for the devices in the config ? A reset ?
niSE_CloseSession performs a reset for the devices in the config ?
Thanks.

Hello,
the niSE session talks to underlying IVI drivers using the IVI Switch session underneath, so any additional opening of IVI Switch session to the same device will cause the two driver sessions (that keep the information about the state of the hardware connections) to be either one or both out of synch with the actual hardware state). Because of the architecture of the underlying IVI drivers, niSE session cannot know if and what someone did to the instrument using IVI Switch session.
Therefore, it is not adviseable to use IVI Switch session while having another session open to the same device. If you need to use the invasive operations - which is anything that changes the state of the device, such as Reset and possibly self-test (self-test may be implemented as an operation that cycles relays and it may not but you can't be sure), you must make sure that one session is open and closed before another type of session is open.
The ni Switch Executive Open Session calls IviSwtch_init (with ID Query and Reset set to true) and CloseSession closes the IVI Switch sessions with the call to Close. The niSE session does not make calls to either reset or self-test explicitly.
Always attempt to perform all the operations on the same piece of hardware using the same API. If you need to reset switches, use the niSE_DisconnectAll function. If you need to perform the self-test operation, open a session to IVI Switch and perform the self-test, and then close it before opening the session to niSE virtual device.
There is also a back-door possibility that you can obtain the IVI Switch session that has been open for the constituent devices by niSE, but you must make sure that whatever you do with that session leaves the state of the switch intact when you get back to making calls to the niSE session. If unsure, you can always call niSE_DisconnectAll() as the first thing coming back to the niSE session to ensure that the state stored in niSE session matches the state on the actual hardware.
Again, it is best not to use both sessions, but rather pick one and try to perform all operations with it before switching to another type of session.

How to switch between different libraries for different iPods?

Hi,
I succesfully created two separate iTunes libraries on my computer (windows XP) for the iPods of me and my girlfriend. But, how can we switch easily back and forth between the different libraries?
The suggested option on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 'method three' and bullet '13' does not appear / work....
Regards,
Roy

thanx for replying so fast.
No problem, Roy. : - )
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you this time. : - (
i'd like to know how i can switch between libraries without closing down iTunes.
Unfortunately you can only choose your Library at startup. So the only way to switch Libraries is to close iTunes ...
You might want to let Apple know your thoughts on the matter by submitting this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Where can I download the switch driver for labview 3.0

Our lab has been using labview 3.0 in a power macintosh. Now we need the

Hi,
I tried to answer your email but got a failed email address. You might want to check the given email address in your ni profile for correctness.
I was able to locate the LabVIEW 3.1 versions of these drivers. You may want to consider upgrading as a great deal has changed since LV 3.0 and it is no longer supported.
Hope this helps out!

Driver Setup for PXI 2569 and PXI 2529 in Switch executive

Hi,
What sould be tha "Driver Setup" for PXI 2569 and PXI 2529 in Switch executive under 'Driver Session"
Regards!!!
Vineet Shukla

Hi Vineet,
You do not need to insert anything under Driver Setup. Anytime you are using NI switches, you can simply click Configure NI Switches when creating a NI Switch Executive Virtual Device to configure the topology settings of those switches.
Just so you know, you can insert information under Driver Setup, and then you wouldn't have to use the Configure NI Switches wizard. More detail on what to insert under Driver Setup can be found in the following KnowledgeBase:
How Do I Create a Virtual Switch and Use it in my Application?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/A1F0D6A3357E14B386256E4B0071FDA2?OpenDocument
In short, you would type "Topology:" followed by the topology name such as "2569/100-SPST" or "2529/2-Wire 4x32 Matrix".
Let me know if you have further questions or if this does not resolve your issue!

Cannot connect to com1 in PXI2530 using Switch Executive

I have a PXI2530 configured using Switch Executive 2.10. The first 60 Channels are setup with my signal names on ch0 - ch59. Com0, 1, 2 and 3 are my Instrument connections. The IVI Driver Sessions has Driver Setup set to Topology:2530/1-Wire Octal 16x1 Mux.
When I try to configure either a Channel, Route or a Group, there is only a com0 pin and no com1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. There is no way to connect to any pin beyond ch15.
The configuration looks like it is setup for a 128:1 mux, but when I try to connect ch16 to com0, it cannot complete the route. Ch16 cannot be connected to com0 or any channel in the list. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Scan list using Switch Executive

I have a number of signal routes using multiple switch cards that I have set up using switch executive. I want to create a scan list that will switch each of my routes in turn each time I see a hardware trigger on the trigger inputs of my switches.
I have looked at some examples in TestStand and can see that if I use the IVI Switch Step using the IVI Switching setting that I can set up a scan list but that seems to be only for one switch card, I have two that I need to route signals to a Digitizer. I can not see a way of using my routes set up using Switch Executive.
I can either use LabView2013 or TestStand 2013 to do this.
Some help would be most appreciated?

Hi Wayne,
If I have understood your problem correctly, this VI in LabVIEW sound like it does what you are after.

OpenCL for Labview is now Open Source

Howdy,
I wrote OpenCLV (OpenCL for Labview) about a year ago and have decided to make it an Opensource project availible on GitHub. It contains all my C code to compile DLLs, all the Labview code, some pre-compiled x64 DLL code and a pre-built .vip project if you just want to download and install it.
https://github.com/amcelroy/OpenCLV.git
My email is in the GPL license header in the C code if you find any bugs or have any comments.

While I don't have use for something like this myself, the willingness to share open source code is appreciated.
One problem I would have with this, though, is the license. I'm far from an expert on licensing, but my understanding is that the GPL license is infectious - if you use a component which uses it directly in your code, you have to make your own code GPL as well to adhere with the license and the only way around that is to separate the GPL component into a separate, dynamically linked, component which would allow the end user to replace it if they want. See their FAQ here - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLInProprietarySystem
My understanding is that this is the reason that OpenG switched from GPL to BSD some years ago - BSD is more permissive and basically just requires you to place the copyright notice somewhere where the user can see it.
The strict interpretation of GPL prohibits integrating a GPL component into a non GPL software even dynamically. That is why there is a LGPL. And that was indeed why OpenG changed from LGPL (not GPL!) to BSD several years ago. Many of the most influencing OpenG supporters felt that it was rather cumbersome to use it in non (L)GPL software. The most prominent product of this nowadays is VIPM.
The only exception to that change are the shared library components of the libraries that I wrote. I didn't feel that there was any bad influence from integrating them as LGPL into any sort of LabVIEW application, as they are fully dynamic anyways and by the nature of LGPL have no viral effect on the application that uses them.

Michael,
What probably happened is that originally the NISE vd was created using the 128x1 topology. If the driver session is changed to another topology (like Octal 16x1 Mux) and saved the linked from the NISE vd and the old topology still exists until you close MAX and reopen it. When MAx opens it establishes a link between the NISE vd and driver session which remains in memory until MAX is closed and reopened.
