Using a driver with labview

I want to create a GUI using labview to control a data acquisition card using a driver that was not created in labview. Could someone point me in the direction of some documentation that would give me some info on doing this.
Thanks

If you're using a non NI data acquisition card and the manufacturer doesn't have a LabVIEW driver, then you'll probably be using either a DLL or ActiveX interface that they provide. For interfacing to third praty DLLs, start with "Using External code in LabVIEW" that is part of the LabVIEW Bookshelf. You will need details from the manufacturer on the function calls. There are some shipping examples on ActiveX. The Invoke Node and Property Node functions on the Communication>ActiveX palette are used to access methods and properties.
If you were to mention the make and model of the board you're using, you might find someone here with knowledge of it that would provide more details.

How set parameters of AKD driver with LABVIEW ?

Hi
I am looking a simple example to set or read paramaters of AKD driver with Labview .
The AKD has ethernet communication and the control is analogue - AKD-P00306-NBAN-0000
I want to use Labview to read the same paramerters like Kollmorgen WorkBench
Thank you for you help
Solved!

Hi k-usa,
We use Workbench to access these parameters, and unfortunately for many of them there isn't a way to access them in LabVIEW. The manual for using the AKD with our C-Series modules (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375516b.pdf) specifies setting these parameters in Workbench for this reason. I apologize that there isn't a way to access many of them in LabVIEW.

Using network drive with time machine. IS IT POSSIBLE?

There are lots of discussion on using network drives with time machine. I have not been able to make them work. Could somebody tell me if this is possible

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or USB drives connected to an Airport Extreme, or a drive on a Mac running Leopard.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
If you still think this is a good idea, do yourself a favor before you bet your backups on it: be sure it really works, at least for now:
1. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or the like, and make a full bootable clone of your internal HD, on an external disk. Test it by booting from it. Then reboot from your internal HD.
2. Let TM do it's first, full, initial backup.
3. Attempt a full system restore (like you'll need when, not if, your internal HD fails), via the instructions in item 14 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
Again, even if it works today, tomorrow is another day . . .

I have never used HyperFile, but a quick check of the company's website indicated that there are ODBC drivers available for it so it should be a simple matter connecting through ADO.

MOVED: Using 4xsata drives with MSI K8N NEO2

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Using 4xsata drives with MSI K8N NEO2

Hi , yes unfortunately it's true !
Sata ports 3/4 is the fully nforce3 native chipset integrated (uses nvidia integrated PHY).
Use only theese if overclocking .
Satallink clock will be retained at 100mhz always .
Sata ports 1/2 are bridged from the nvidia chipset to an external marvell PHY .
Theese ones can not be used with HTT ref clock beyond ~230mhz +/- a few mhz without producing data corruption .
Satalink ref clock of 100mhz will scale upwards with increased HTT .
This issue applies to all nforce3 250GB/Ultra based motherboards with more than 2 sata ports regardless which vendor/make/model.
It's the chosen hw design that is the issue and no bios ever will fix it .
If you must have 4 sata drives , do like me and install a pci SIL sata controller card for the drives used for storage .
Take Abit NF8 (nf3) as an example .It has only 2 sata ports .
Why ?
Only the true/fully chipset integrated sata ports is used .
Although the nforce3 chipset supports a sata link to an external PHY for port 3 and upwards some has chosen to not utilize it .
Nforce 4 chipset has corrected this hw design by adding more sataport by the link to external phy .
In nf4 four ports are fully/true chipset integrated , and does not suffer from this overclock barrier .

Has anyone used an USB ASIO driver with LabVIEW ?

Anyone has already tried to use LabVIEW to get data from USB audio recording equipment (M-Audio Quattro)?
RKO

Hi,
NI-VISA 3.0 is the only driver in LabVIEW that would give you access to an USB device. You would probably use NI-VISA USB Raw mode.
To use the VISA driver you need to know in detail how the device works and how to program with USB. There isn't too much documentation, but if you are clear on those two things it should be easier to get familiar with the NI-VISA API.
You'll need the USB specification (www.usb.org). Also check the NI-VISA Programmer Reference Manual
Hope this is what you are looking for.

Random crashes when using USB drive with Creatie Suite

I have a 24" Intel IMAC and when using a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB and Creative Suite I eperience random crashes in CS. When I remove th drive it works fine, any known issues when using Rosetta apps and USB drives?
thanks

So a guy goes into his doctors office and tells his doctor "Ya gotta
help me doc...it hurts when I run my head into the door like
this...OW!". Then the doctor says:
"DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!!!"
(I promise to keep my day job...oops what job...and not go into
comedy..)
Why don't you convert all the old 16 bit code into 32 bit code and
create one application where the various parts all know about each
other? I don't think that there's any way to coordinate an old 16 bit
LV and a new 32 bit LV application so that they don't step on each
other driverwise like they appear to be doing. I don't think that the
two LabVIEW's even know that the other exists!
Alternatively, get a second computer to run the 16 bit code on and
make the two apps communicate with
each other using TCP/IP or serial.

Using Agilent 82357a with Labview

Is it possible to use Agilent 82357a USB-GPIB interface board with Labview
Linux version 7 ?

Hi
I just installed Labview 7.1 for linux on my machine after throwing away (not literally !) the Agilent card and borrowing an NI PCI-GPIB card. This works with kernels 2.4.x (tested with /usr/local/vxipnp/linux/NIvisa/NIvisaic). However, for proper operation of my machine (have bad display and mouse problems with the old kernel) I need kernels 2.6.x. The driver in /usr/local/nigpib complains that it cannot work with those. I tried hacking the INSTALL script but it keeps running up against differences (like the modversions.h file) between the two kernel series.
Can I use a newer version of the gpib libraries for linux with an older version of Labview like I am using ? I guess I will also need to get newer versions of the visa drivers for that. Though, the labview installation went smoothly with kernel 2.4.27-3 on my Debian system, I know that the newer versions of nigpib (is that the same as ni48825L.iso ?) and NIVISA are not supported on Debian. I cannot reinstall with a different distro, so please do not suggest that.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks.

Sencore color pro USB drive with labview

I have a Sencore color pro which measures lumens, Color temperature, Cx,Cy cordinates.
If I want to measure these values using labview, how am I supposed to integrate this sensor
with labview. It has a USB drive. I need to acquire these values and analyze them.

HelloYesh,
MikeS81 is correct. Yu can interface with your sensor using either ActiveX or Call Library Function Node.

Can i use external drive with pc and mac??? files be recognised by both??

hi
i have two external hard drives, with stuff from my pc on them.
can i plug them into my macbook? and just copy files?
usb hard drives.
one i think is one or the other, mac or pc, not both at same time, unless i partition and format i think. maybe the other one too.
i have a 8gb file on my pc, im trying to get into my macbook.
how can i???
i have a 160gb ipod, its only 30gb full, and pc says not enough space on it.
why is this???? the file is only 8gb......and theres over 100gb free on my ipod.
anyone help?
cheers

If your iPod is formatted FAT32 there is a 4 GB file size limit. Obviously an 8 GB file exceeds the limit.
In order to use any drive on both a Mac and a PC with full read/write capability the drive must be formatted MS-DOS (FAT16 or FAT32.) A drive formatted NTFS is read-only on a Mac unless you use third-party software such as MacFuse with NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS.

Using network drive with iPhoto and iMovie

I bought a QNAP TS 212 NAS Drive and have it successfully set up on my network. I can see the drive and access its content through finder on my iMac. It is even visible in iTunes and am able to play media stored in it. But am unable to view the attached NAS Drive in iPhoto or iMovie. How can I use this NAS drive for storage of pcitures and video using above softwares?

You would be able to store your original files on the NAS with your Library on the internal drive with Aperture.
Note that this means other devices accessing those files will see no edits, just the files as imported from camera.
also since you seem an expert on iPhoto, is there a way to change default storage set up. I want my pictures to be assorted and saved under "album names" rather than year, month and date.
No. If you use iPhoto then the files are never accessed via the Finder, but only through iPhoto. So, how they are stored on the HD is just back end management for iPhoto.
Is there a way to export all the pictures in various albums and have them arranged under separate folders with matching album names?
If you have the most recent iPhoto 11, then yes, it's an option in the export dialogue. If you don't then
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
I would caution you about both iPhoto and Aperture. Neither of these apps have any cross platform ability. Both use virtualisation for lossless processing. Simply, apps from other OSes will not make any sense of these apps. You would need to export everything from them to have edits available to other OSes.

Using PCI-6251 with Labview 6.1

I recently purchased a PCI-6251 multifucntion DAQ board to get a higher sampling rate than my old PCI-MIO-16E-4 board. However I have existing software that I want to run on the new board. The board came with NI-DAQmx which will only work with Labview 7 or above. I am currently running NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and the Measurement and Automation program does not recognize the new PCI-6251 board. Is there anyway to get Labview 6.1/NI-DAQ 6.9.3 to recognize and configure the new board? Or will I be forced to upgrade my Labview?

The M-series boards (PCI-62xx are M-series) require NI-DAQmx driver. The NI-DAQmx driver requires a newer Labview. No way around it.
