Using access with 64 bit labview

Hello,
I have 64 bit version of Labview, and I want to use an access database. I used the internal search for examples, and it showed an example in examples/comm/access.llb. Well, that does not exist with this install. (I did a 32 bit install, and they exist.)
Has anyone have success with 64 bit LV and access? Any links to where to start... Just need a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks for that suggestion Ian.
I've looked through our documentation on 64-bit compatibility for LabVIEW and it looks like you are correct, that should not have installed. What I didn't realize was that the test machine I was using also had 32-bit labview, so the example finder located all of those examples.
Is there any reason you cannot use the 32-bit version of LabVIEW? At the moment, that is the best option we have for internal compatibility, as most toolkits have not been ported to the 64-bit version of LabVIEW, even though they can run on a 64-bit operating system.
Past that, I've taken a look at Ian's suggestion and it seems like a pretty solid thing to try, along with the API in the second post of that thread.. Let us know if it works for you.

Calling 64-bit TestStand Engine from 32-bit LabVIEW

I am creating my own TestStand user interface in 32-bit LabVIEW but I want to use the 64-bit TestStand Engine. I can't find a way to specify this. The read-only API property "Engine.Is64Bit" is coming back false when I run from my UI, but when I run from the Sequence editor, it comes back true. How is this determined and set at startup???

I dont think you can build a 64 bit TestStand interface using a 32 bit Labview.
FYI the the 32 bit User interface code is stored at :
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (32-bit)\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\LabVIEW
The 64 bit user interface code is stored at :
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (64-bit)\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\LabVIEW
You have build a 32 bit TestStand user interface and the is64bit is properly showing as false.
Try building the same project using 64 bit Labview (which should automatically pickup 64 bit TestStand components)
When you say that you run from seqeunce editor - i think you mean 64 bit sequence editor.
Ofcourse once you build your 64 bit user interface you can call a 32 bit vi (only in adapter mode set to dev and not run time).
Hope this helps.

Using complied Matlab in Labview

I have a Labview vi that uses Matlab to do calculations and plotting by calling a matlab script in Labview. I also have complied that same Labview vi so it can run on other machines without labview, but the machine must have Matlab since the vi calls Matlab scripts. Is there any way I can use a complied version of Matlab and a complied version of Labview to run on a machine without both program licences?

Hey jbirdthe3rd,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. From the information you have provided here, I don't believe you are going to be able to achieve this specific behavior. LabVIEW has a run time engine that allows for this type of operation, and it looks like you have used this with the LabVIEW portion of the application. The only suggestion I can provide in this case is to consider using LabVIEW Mathscript. More information about its functionality can be found from the following pages.
NI LabVIEW MathScript

I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with or clarify. Have a great day!

Random crashes when using 16 Labview with the 32 bit labview

I am using 2 versions of Labview at the same time, one is version 4 which has a camera and a weigh-in-motion scale attached to it. The second is either Labview version 4, 16-bit or Labview 3.0.1, 16-bit, i'm not sure. The sixteen bit has a data acquisition system attached to it. Its an optim electronics system and the 16-bit Labview drivers for the optim were provided by Optim electronics and so I am stuck with using the same system. When I use both these systems in tandem, the system crashes frequently, but both systems run fine independently. It usually just freezes up or says "Illegal operation performed. Contact program vendor". Its a windows error with a red cross.

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.

Use of APT objects in 64-bit LabVIEW

I have created an APT motion control VI to control a translation stage using 32-bit LabVIEW. However, I have since had to move to 64-bit LabVIEW. I am trying to create a similar VI that will run on the 64-bit version. The problem is when I create my ActiveX container and try to use MGMotor control to connect to the motor, MGMotor Control is not in my list of creatable objects.
Is this because it is not possible to access this particular motor in 64-bit LabVIEW or am I missing drivers that I can download to update the list of creatable objects?
P.S. I am relatively new to LabVIEW but any help at all would be great!

Hi,
What is the reason you have moved to 64bit LabVIEW? It could be that this driver is not supported on 64 bit LabVIEW but this would have to be confirmed by looking at the driver's requirements. 64 bit LabVIEW currently does not support every thing that 32 bit does but this is being worked on. Can you provide some more details of this motor driver.
If you have recently installed your new version of LabVIEW then you will need to reinstall the driver again. If you can provide some more details on the driver then perhaps we can find out if it is compatible with 64 bit LabVIEW

64-bit LabVIEW - still major problems with large data sets

Hi Folks -
I have LabVIEW 2009 64-bit version running on a Win7 64-bit OS with Intel Xeon dual quad core processor, 16 gbyte RAM. With the release of this 64-bit version of LabVIEW, I expected to easily be able to handle x-ray computed tomography data sets in the 2 and 3-gbyte range in RAM since we now have access to all of the available RAM. But I am having major problems - sluggish (and stoppage) operation of the program, inability to perform certain operations, etc.
Here is how I store the 3-D data that consists of a series of images. I store each of my 2d images in a cluster, and then have the entire image series as an array of these clusters. I then store this entire array of clusters in a queue which I regularly access using 'Preview Queue' and then operate on the image set, subsets of the images, or single images.
Then enqueue:
I remember talking to LabVIEW R&D years ago that this was a good way to do things because it allowed non-contiguous access to memory (versus contigous access that would be required if I stored my image series as 3-D array without the clusters) (R&D - this is what I remember, please correct if wrong).
Because I am experiencing tremendous slowness in the program after these large data sets are loaded, and I think disk access as well to obtain memory beyond 16 gbytes, I am wondering if I need to use a different storage strategy that will allow seamless program operation while still using RAM storage (do not want to have to recall images from disk).
I have other CT imaging programs that are running very well with these large data sets.
This is a critical issue for me as I move forward with LabVIEW in this application. I would like to work with LabVIEW R&D to solve this issue. I am wondering if I should be thinking about establishing say, 10 queues, instead of 1, to address this. It would mean a major program rewrite.
Sincerely,
Don

First, I want to add that this strategy works reasonably well for data sets in the 600 - 700 mbyte range with the 64-bit LabVIEW.
With LabVIEW 32-bit, I00 - 200 mbyte sets were about the limit before I experienced problems.
So I definitely noticed an improvement.
I use the queuing strategy to move this large amount of data in RAM. We could have used other means such a LV2 globals. But the idea of clustering the 2-d array (image) and then having a series of those clustered arrays in an array (to see the final structure I showed in my diagram) versus using a 3-D array I believe even allowed me to get this far using RAM instead of recalling the images from disk.
I am sure data copies are being made - yes, the memory is ballooning to 15 gbyte. I probably need to have someone examine this code while I am explaining things to them live. This is a very large application, and a significant amount of time would be required to simplify it, and that might not allow us to duplicate the problem. In some of my applications, I use the in-place structure for indexing
data out of arrays to minimize data copies. I expect I might have to
consider this strategy now here as well. Just a thought.
What I can do is send someone (in US) via large file transfer a 1.3 - 2.7 gbyte set of image data - and see how they would best advise on storing and extracting the images using RAM, how best to optimize the RAM usage, and not make data copies. The operations that I apply on the images are irrelevant. It is the storage, movement, and extractions that are causing the problems. I can also show a screen shot(s) of how I extract the images (but I have major problems even before I get to that point),
Can someone else comment on how data value references may help here, or how they have helped in one of their applications? Would the use of this eliminate copies? I currently have to wait for 64-bit version of the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit for LabVIEW 2010 before I can move to LabVIEW 2010.

Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems. This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product. We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work. NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!! Argh!
In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings. THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration. This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character? Any ideas? We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference. The router has the latest firmware, too. Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

NI-RIO 4.0 not compatible with 64-bit LabVIEW?

Hi,
I have a 7841R multifunction RIO card. I'm currently installing the evaluation version of LabVIEW to test it out. I've got 64-bit LabVIEW successfully installed and I had installed NI-RIO 3.6 (which was on the disk that came with the card). In the process of installing other features (I believe the C interface for FPGA or something) I discovered that I needed NI-RIO 4.0. I uninstalled NI-RIO 3.6, downloaded NI-RIO 4.0 and now I'm attempting to install it. I get the following message a few steps into the process:
Important note about NI-RIO support for LabVIEW (64-bit Versions)
A 64-bit version of LabVIEW was detected on your system. This version of the NI-RIO driver does not support 64-bit versions of LabVIEW. However, this version of NI-RIO is fully compatible with 32-bit versions of LabVIEW installed on 64-bit operating systems.
Is there a version of NI-RIO 4.0 that supports 64-bit versions of LabVIEW? If so, could you point me to it?
Or should I install the 32-bit version of LabVIEW?
Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Tom,
Unfortunately we do not have a RIO driver that is compatible with our 64-bit LabVIEW Development software. If you need to use the RIO driver, you should install the 32-bit version of LabVIEW and build your applications in that development system. Sorry for the confusion initially during the installation process!

Open vi file with specific Labview version using batch file (Windows)

I want to open certain vi with using Windows batch file and to use specific version of Labview development system. I tried
"C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\LabVIEW.exe" "path_to_vi"
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\LabVIEW.exe" "path_to_vi"
to use 32-bit and 64-bit development systems respectively. However Labview opens file with version which was last used before. Are there any ways to force it use specified version?

No, it's a VI I wrote so that when I open any VI from Windows Explorer it will open it in correct version of LabVIEW according to it's source version (rather than the latest/last version of LabVIEW I opened). All it does to launch the right version of LabVIEW is to call System Exec with the path to the correct version of the LabVIEW.exe and the path to the VI - which is essentially the same as what your batch file is doing.

Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

Hi,
Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module? I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW means can i program it without using LABVIEW?
regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Vishnu,
Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

I cannot use itunes with windows 7. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that a 32 bit xp version was loaded on my machine. I can't uninstall it and the 64 bit version will not install.

I cannot use tunes with windows 7. A 32 bit xp version was loaded from my prior computer. It will not uninstall. The 64 bit version will noit install.

I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3922 controller. I want to use it with LabView inst

alled in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface. Which way would be easier for developing my own instrument driver: a new GPIB controller + interface or 2915 Kinetic Sys. PCI-bus in-slot interface? Can the latter interface be used with LabView?
Many thanks.

I couldn't find an Instrument Driver for the 3932 crate controler. There is a driver for the 3988: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/045f8392cc4d1b01862568ab005fbb49?OpenDocument
If you look at the driver it isn't too complex. Well ... actaully there are certain differences when using the 3988 GPIB controller that the driver takes care of that relate to correctly passing commands (FAN).
If the 3922 controller is similar then maybe you can use the 3988 driver and modify it to meet your needs. I'm not familar with the 2915 Kinetic system so I'm not sure what would be easier.
If you have a GPIB board, then you could try using the 3988 driver with your 3922 controller and see if you can modify the driver to get things to work.
I
've only used the 3988 and that was quite three years ago but it might be worth a try.
Best of luck,

What can I change to gain access to my work vpn. I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers. Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

What can I change to gain access to my work vpn. I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers. Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

You need to give us a lot more info.
I presume the MBA and the TC are the combo that doesn't work, although you don't clearly state that.
If the ipad and TC work.. are you sure the ipad is connected via the TC and not 3G network?
If it is then the TC itself is fine and the issue might be setup on the MBA.. although if the MBA works with other routers.. that rather confuses the matter.
You need to actually tell us how the TC is setup in the network. What kind of broadband modem you have and what kind of vpn you are using.
