Using Labview with an ALR-9800 RFID reader

I am a student at Cal Poly, SLO and I am currently working on a Labview program to characterize RFID tags using a positioner and an Alien Technology ALR-9800 RFID reader. This is my first time programming with Labview and also my first time interfacing with the ALR-9800 so I am more or less stumbling around in the dark. I have been unable to find any drivers for the reader or any example code interfacing with a reader. From my understanding of both Labview and the ALR-9800, it seems to me like the best approach is to find a way to issue textual commands to the reader to take advantage of the text-based command interface via TCP/IP. The reader is supposed to function like a telnet server, so I can issue commands through a telnet interface to communicate. Is there a way to create such an interface in Labview? I would like to be able to send string constants as commands at various stages of the program in order to control the reader. If anyone could offer me any help at all, I would be incredibly greatful.

These people from your school have attended Alien Academy Training. You may want to reach out to them.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

How to use labview with the handyboard

Hi,
how to use labview with the handyboard
Thx...

I'm assuming you're talking about this, since you didn't provide a link for those of us who don't know what you're talking about.
As the other poster said, you didn't say how you want to use LabVIEW with it. If you want to write LabVIEW programs than run on the microprocessor, then you're out of luck. If you want LabVIEW to interact with it, then you've got a couple of options, SPI probably being the best, but it also has DI and AI that you could use to communicate with it - the DI's could be used as a parallel interface.

Sir
We were able to solve that problem...but now could you advice as to which DC power supply we should use (preferably avalable in India) so that it can be controlled by Labview (through a gpib/rs232/any other port) to give a square wave of desired frequency/other parameters.

Using Labview with Java Applets

I want to use LabView instruments in my Java Applets. Is it possible to call virtual instruments from applets?

Gaurav,
Yes, it is possible, but it might be easier if you use Remote Panel (LabVIEW 6.1) or an ActiveX component (Application Builder). To have Java and LabVIEW communicate with your applet, I can only suggest using the Application Builder to build your VIs into a DLL and then use the JNI to talk to this DLL. This may work fine outside of a browser, but I don't know if it will work inside a browser or not because each user will need the DLL. The best way to do it would be to have the Applet redirect the user to a Remote Panel web page where they can control the VI from there.

How do I read multiple channels at one time using labview with the Fluke Hydra Data Bucket 2620a using serial port?

I need to take a reading of 15 channels about once a second. I can read one value at a time using the monitor function on the read values.vi driver, but this takes forever to read all the channels.

I don't have this instrument but I took a look at the instrument driver and it appears that you can only configure one channel at a time to read from. You might want to take a look at the command set for this instrument and see if it allows for configuration of multiple channels. It could be that the instrument driver just doesn't have that built in.

Using labview with GPIB to run Agilent 4156c: configuring SMU3/SMU4 triggers error message

Hello,
I posted this also in the GPIB board, since it concerns labview I thought I'd post here too.
I'm trying to measure and plot drain curves for a JFET. When trying to run it in labview I get the following error message:
Error -1074000000
Instrument reports:
+181,"Illegal setup. Invalid command."
+0,"No error"
I see other people have had this problem, I've reviewed all the previous posts and tried implementing the proposed solutions, to no avail.
Here's my configuration for when trying to run a sweep with Vgs = 0V:
Unit          Vname          Iname                MODE                       FCTN
SMU1      Vdd               Id                       V                               VAR1                              (drain)
SMU2      Vg                 Ig                       COMMON                 CONST                          (gate)
SMU3      Vs                 Is                       COMMON                 CONST                           (source)
I ran NIspy and it told me that the error message is generated after the channels are assigned immediately after configuring SMU3 or SMU4 (SMU3 & SMU4 will both trigger it).  If I try to disable SMU3 and configure SMU4 then SMU3 will show that it's disabled on the front panel and SMU4 will be configured and I get the error. After I get the error message, If I go to the front panel I can manually run my sweep using the configurations labview sent to the instrument. So labview seems to be configuring the channels properly but then it halts and gives me the error message.
I've tried configuring/disabling all unused channels and that didn't help. I've also tried leaving the series resistance setting for each SMU as the default and assigning 0V to them, which didn't help either.
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hello
I see that you posted this issue in the GPIB forum. I would recommend you to keep the conversation in that forum, because it is the specialized one for those subjects. Have a good day!

Does anyone know of good resources on using Labview with Omega DAQ (3000 series)?

I'm fairly familiar with the labview environment and have used NI DAQ devices with ease as it's all set up through the help assistant in Labview. I am now utilizing an Omega DAQ system and have some troubles with understanding the VIs supplied with the system. Any resources on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Darshwings,
Unfortunately we do not have support for 3rd party drivers and I was unable to find any resources on our end for learning how to program with Omega's functions. Typically, instrument drivers come with some examples when installed. I would check the location of these drivers and see if there are any examples. Otherwise you may want to contact Omega for any documentation that is available.

Using LabVIEW with MSP430 LaunchPad?

I was introduced to LabVIEW this year in my senior only high school class EDD(Engineering Design and Development). This year our class decided to compete in the First Tech Challenge for the first time. I'm very good with computers, so I took on the task of being the only programmer. We did very good for our first year, placing 7th out of 35 teams. (Mainly because the autonomous I made in LabVIEW on the bus ride to the competition) I fell in love with LabVIEW mostly because the graphical NXT programming which speeds up the programming process significantly. I'm now hook on LabVIEW and want to do some of my own personal projects. I recently found the MSP430 LaunchPad which comes with both the MSP430G2211IPN14 and the MSP430G2231IPN14. I decided to purchase two of them along with one of their Capacitive Touch BoosterPack which also contains the MSP430G2452IN20. What I was wondering is it possible to both read data values from these microcontrollers and also program them in LabVIEW like the NXT?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Congratulations for you and your team mates, and welcome to the LabVIEW community. I too have a couple of the MSP430 "kits", but haven't had time to start playing with them. My recollection is that they communicate with the development PC via USB. If so there should be a USB communications dll they we may be able to access to communicate with the units. A quick google search on "MSP430 LabVIEW" returns a number of links.
Good luck, keep checking back, particularly as you have addtional questions. Others may be answering this as well.

Cannot type in previously used forms with newly installed 9.1 reader

Recently installed upgrade to 9.1 adobe reader.
Now the forms previously typed in cannot be filled with letters or numbers. These forms were from state institutions and meant to be filled out and typed with adobe. I successfully used these forms with the previous version of adobe reader.
The purple band shows at the top indicating the form can be filled. The I bar shows up and can be placed in the blank spaces but no letter can be typed in the forms.
Is this the result of failure of the upgrade software ?
Has any one experienced this problem?
I have only one installation of th adobe software 9.1 installed.
In reviewing the help data on line I noted they indicaed a "security setting" under file/ preferences. I dont know what they are talking about?
Have done the following based on other suggestions .
Changed the preferences changed the PDF/ A mode to "never'
Also now understand the security setting for the document. The document restriction summary show the document to allow "filling of forms fields" along with printing and content copying . Does not allow document assembly and siging.
Still unable to fill out the form
Message was edited by: visbama

Was your previous version of Reader earlier than version 9? Adobe abandoned an early version certain technology used to allow people to fill out forms and save them on their own computer. If the forms can be filled out with earlier versions of Windows, then you are stuck. Either the people have to re-enable the forms using newer technology or you need to use an earlier version of Reader. A similar problem creeped up with IRS forms.

Can i use labview with other applications

Hi,
I was wondering if i could use an application written in c++ with labview...
like the whole application has a lot of feactures... and kind of acts like a
debugger for our products....
So, how would i be able to combine this application with labview...
Ne thoughts of doing it in some other way...would also be appreciated..
thx
Abhimanyu...
(also please refer to my last post...from yesterday)

Well i don't think there is easier way of bring your VC++ app with graphics into labview unless you create an ActiveX control (which would be laborious) out of it using ATL/MFC. Then calling that ActiveX control in ActiveX container in labview and use the exported properties and method of that control.
But if you want to get the functionality transported, the best way i would go with is writing DLL that exports functions from your C++ app and call that DLL in labview.

Serial Communication using Labview with Tiva C launchpad ARM cortex M4

I am able to comunicate perfectly between labview and launchpad at 9600 baudrate..When i trying to communicate with bauadrate of 115200 labview gives error "specifed state of attribute is not valid"
I tried to communicate with serial monitor comes with arduino and its well work with it at 115200 baudrate...
Awaiting for your replay!!!

piZviZ wrote:
Only data rate working is 9600 between labview and launchpad(arm cortex m4).Where all data rates work between Arduino serial port monitor and launchpad(arm cortex m4).
Since the only thing that changed is the Launchpad, then that must be the issue. Are you sure this device can handle more than just the 9600 baud rate? Are you sure you are even setting the baud rate on this device?

Has anyone tried to use Labview with VNC

I am trying to use VNC viewer and Labview to remotely code/control labview application. Lots of right clicks dont show up on the VNC. I guess this happens only for Labview and not for other applications. Has anyone tried to use VNC before? is there a workaround?

Just confirmed that each of the above items works properly in our setup, using either WinME or Linux as the controller of the Win98 host. In the 'Connection Options' screen of the controlling computer I have only 'Auto-Select' and 'Emulate 3 buttons' checked. 'Current User Properties' on the controlled computer has only 'Accept Socket Connections', 'Do Nothing', 'Remove Desktop Wallpaper', 'Poll Foreground Window' and 'Poll Console Windows Only' checked. Hopefully one of the above will make a difference.

I want to transmit and receive the transmitted audio signal using labview with usrp ...can i get some help to do soo...thanks in advance

plz help me

this example receives frames on the same port. By CAN design you cannot receive the frame you are transmitting. If you want to receive what you transmit in addition there are 2 options:
- use the second port of your CAN device for Receiving the frames you transmit
- use the Self Receiption mode (refer to the manual for further details ho w to use this mode)
