What's it take to get LabView up and running?

Hello. I'm new to LabView and in the process of learning what I can about it by working through a couple of training books. Anyway, what do I need to get LabView 6.1 to control Agilent and Anritsu test equipment -- specifically voltage supplies, a network analyzer, and a spectrum analyzer. I presently have a GPIB card in the computer. Is any other hardware required to get this operational? Where do I find drivers? Thanks for any response.

Assuming you've got cables to connect your GPIB card to your instruments, I don't think you need any additional hardware in order to use LabVIEW to automate the control of the instruments.
I'll assume that your GPIB card is installed and functional if not, try its self-tests or go to http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/ for help.
To install LabVIEW instrument drivers for your instruments, go to http://ni.com/idnet and browse or search your way to the drivers you need. This will give you a suite of LabVIEW VIs to programmatically control your instruments from LabVIEW.
After you download and install the drivers (instruction links on the driver pages), you can get up to speed by examining the Application Example that will likely appear in the palettes for your i
nstruments. There's also a CD available of all of our instrument drivers; you can request one from your NI sales engineer.
As a final note, the LabVIEW Basics I training course (http://ni.com/training) does an excellent job of teaching this topic (the final day of the course) as well as teaching LabVIEW programming fundamentals.
Best of luck,

  • What does it take to get my service cancelled?

    I am trying to find out what it will take to get my account cancelled... I called more than a week in advance of my move to set up the cancellation of my FIOS home service and was assured that was all I needed to do; I would receive my final bill in the mail. However, a week after I moved, my account was charged and my autopay paid my bill of nearly $200 for services this month in a home I no longer live in, for an account that should no longer be active. I called and spoke with no fewer than 12 agents over that week, including someone who after 43 minutes of being passed around HUNG UP on me! Finally I spoke with someone who was helpful and said my account was deactivated, and in about 14 business days I should get a refund check in the mail. Well, three weeks later, my account has still not been cancelled and I have not gotten my refund! I just called again and spoke with an agent who told me he couldn't help me and I needed to call back another office on Monday. It has been nearly a month since I moved and this account was supposed to be cancelled and I still cannot get anyone to just stop the account! What does it take at Verizon to end my service???

  • What does it take to get an app on the Ovi store?

    What does it take to get an app on the ovi store?  There are so many apps available that are not included in the ovi store.... like "s60spoton"  It allows you to use your cameras flash as a flash light! I've been wanting this forever.  If this app was easily available on the Ovi store, I would have been able to find it easily... but it was linked to me in a forum. 
    Why are there so many useful apps not cataloged in the Ovi store? 

    It's the maker of an apps responsibility to get it listed on the store so if it's not on there it's because the maker hasn't put it there.
    Nokia cannot put apps on the store without the makers consent.
    Only the maker/publisher of an app can tell you why their app isn't on the store. It may be for financial reasons, legal reasons, licensing issues, piracy concerns or they may just have ceased development and moved on.
    The ovi store isn't the only source of applications and some developers prefer to use independant sites like www.getjar.com instead.

  • I have songs both purchased online and downloaded from cd's that itunes is unable to locate. What can I do to get them back and make sure it doesn't happen again as this is the second time this has happened?

    I have songs both purchased online and downloaded from cd's that itunes is unable to locate. What can I do to get them back and make sure it doesn't happen again as this is the second time this has happened?

    Great, that's what I was looking for.  Thanks for the quick response.  I knew that that feature existed in this router, but I couldn't remember what it was called or where to find it.
    The funny thing is, I recall distinctly setting up the DHCP reservation initially, but when I went to check it now, the reserved client list was empty.  I have no idea how it could have become depopulated, thus opening the door for internal IP address reassignment of the Remote Desktop computer which led to the RDP ports no longer being forwarded to the right internal IP address and thus the failure of the Remote Desktop connectivity.

    what do i need to get IOS5 if im running 10.5.8, do i need many upgrades?

    What iOS device do you have? You need one capable of running iOS5 plus the latest version of iTunes.
    If you want iCloud you'll need Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion plus a Mac capable of running that.

  • How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run

    How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run 
    So you have read the marketing hype, and are thinking what you really want is to pay for the service to upgrade your low quality bitrate files to a bit better 256KBPS rate easily, as don’t fancy rebuying/ reimporting or other method
    This guide should show you the fastest route to achieve you upgrades
    It assumes you’re working from your main music library, and know something about IT, and have <25k of music files
    Backup your music files
    If you know how to do this, its simple right – so once done then move to step 2, if not read below so you don’t blame me for a loss
    Transfer Hardware
    your choice the transfer hardware, suggest offline harddrive via USB3.0 (blue USB connector/eSata/ 1494b/1GB NIC/etcetera but your call
    If you use USB2.0/ 100MB NIC/1394a or other lower transfer method, accept the time hit
    Don’t use Time Backup/local disk backup software unless you have RAID 5 setup or better (and if wondering what that is, you almost certainly don’t then)
    Don’t use  internet backup service unless you live next door to the hosting company, with stunning internet connection to envy 99.9% of the human race, remember this is the fast method folks)
    Transfer Software
    I am assuming you know how to do a copy n paste/ robocoby/xcopy/drag n drop or whatever method turns you on via finder/explorer/cmd window ect
    Caveat #01: If not sure how to do above, then stop now as you are not IT literate ready for this
    Find your music files and back them up
    Now keep the computer running, preferably with nothing else running from this point for ease of use bar an active internet connection, and power saving switched off
    If you know where the files are great, backup the files, but some don’t so for them as below
    Caveat #02: if you don’t know how to find them your most likely on default settings, or sitting with a legacy from a past upgraded machine - below should help but you might want to stop now if you have never been curious about the location before
    Within iTunes , go to [Edit/Preferences/Advanced] and note down the location shown for Itunes Media Location
    In the same location of preferences, hit [Keep iTunes Media Folder organised] and let the application do its stuff.  You will end up with the location in 1ciii a ready to copy location which for simplicity of topic, copy the whole folder and its subfolders.  You may end up with some extra copies of music files (an iTunes safety mechanism, but it won’t show in the folder location, and we can ignore later on)
    Enable Match (after paying for the service)
    Run Match
    Accept that the Apple iTunes process is not perfect, may crash/stop/pause and reboots will be needed, and we can move on so to speak. Key here is you cannot do an unattended script or assume no end user interaction needed L
    Turn on iTunes Match, notice the new ITunes Match on the left hand sidebar, click it, then hit the Start button – if it works and you eventually get to STEP 3 perfect.
    If it fails before getting to STEP 3, reboot and restart
    If this still fails to get to STEP 3, then create a new iTunes database (browse forums on how to do), read your media files from the location in 1civ
    Stop MATCH  (the upload process only, not the service)
    Once STEP 3 starts, CLICK STOP - ASAP, as all this does it upload data, and you don’t want to do this, just get your upgraded files (remember the title of this entry your reading!)
    This also avoids future issues with Album art lost
    Delete Matched low bitrate files
    Create a NEW SMART playlist, with two criteria
    Show all files with bitrate is less then 256
    Show all files where iCloud status is MATCHED
    In the new playlist, click it and it shows the files we want to blow away. 
    Click Edit / Select All then
    Click ctrl in windows/apple  (cmd) logo in mac, and press delete button, ensuring you do NOT tick the delete from iCloud Option.  Now want a few mins for it do do its stuff.
    Download Upgraded BitRate Files
    In the same location as 5, reselect all, and right click, and select the option to download all, and off it goes
    On the lefthand sidebar in iTunes, click Downloads, and you will then see in the middle bottom screen an option for simultaneous downloads (select it)
    Your done Just let the app now do its stuff. I would ignore the message saying you can get on with other things, and use anther machine, preferably not using the same internet connection.
    Optional Steps:
    Click randomly from the Itunes/Matched/256KBPS listed files, and play them.  Not all the files, one every 30 or so, and just the start, then last few seconds to check not dead or corrupt files.
    Update your Step 1 backup with the new files, which is going to take up more space, guess at 40%.
    Kill your iTunes Match account (both the recurring automatic subscription, and  the account if not continuing to use the store part of iTunes)

  • How to get Adobe up and running?

    This download then go back and sign some agreement is stupid and it is not evident that there is anything to sign. I have clicked on agree several times and am still unable to get it to work. This is a Macbook Pro computer and I'm tired of not being able torun PDF's. Please help me get this up and running. there has to be a better way to go about this. Michael Allison

    Not sure what you mean by "sign agreement"; do you mean accept the license agreement?  To do that you must open Reader by itself and accept the EULA, before you can use it online.
    If I misunderstood, please clarify.

  • I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account.  But only some of them have the cloud next to them.  The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

  • Webutil with IE=native, can't get it up and running

    Hi,
    I'm impressed on the WebUtil functionality. Got it up and running smoothly using JInitiator. Great Stuff!
    My problem appears with a customer that wants me to deploy this functionality through native JVM of IE6.0.
    Did anyone of you manage to get Webutil up and running not using JInitiator but the native IE JVM??
    (When will webutilbase.htm be included in WebUtil?)
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Kind Regards, Marc Vahsen
    =====================================================
    Details:
    I managed to:
    - create cab files for webutil.jar and jacob.jar, resulting in webutil.cab and jacob.cab
    When I try to invoke the first form that uses the webutil object group, I get errors:
    - FRM-92100 (connection to server lost)
    - Details: FRM-92040 Java class not found, javax.swing.JLabel
    Trying to analyze this with my restricted java knowledge, I see that this class is present in rt.jar, which is added to my (server) classpath in default.env.
    Should I make a cab file for this one also??
    Further analysis shows that the webutiljini.htm contains an extra "section" that calls oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil.
    As the file 'webutilbase.htm' is missing in webutil_102.zip, I tried to create this htm file myself, with extra section:
    <!-- Registration applet definition (start) -->
    <APPLET CODEBASE="%codebase%"
    CODE="oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil"
    WIDTH="0"
    HEIGHT="0">
    <PARAM NAME="cabbase" VALUE="webutil.cab,jacob.cab">
    <PARAM NAME="serverURL" VALUE="%serverURL%">
    <PARAM NAME="networkRetries" VALUE="%networkRetries%">
    </APPLET>
    <!-- Registration applet definition (end) -->
    This however does not work, and reduced my left options to 1: post a topic on OTN!

    Extra information:
    The code section that is unreadable in the topic description above (without the less than / greater than signs reads:
    APPLET CODEBASE="%codebase%"
    CODE="oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil"
    WIDTH="0"

  • Encore: what does it take to get an input legal?

    I know this is a bit off topic from Premiere SDK but since there is no Encore (highly technical) forum I thought it best to post here instead of emailing Zac directly (so that others may learn the answer).

  • Exactly what does it take to get a noise margin (l...

    Last weekend the broadband (superfast fibre) failed , nothing , just the modem going through the different sequences constantly without recconecting , I got through BT who after an exhaustive series of tests announce a "big" fault on the main line . I was told that engineers would be on the case next day and they would call me to check confirm it was sorted by 4.30 pm , no call came and although the broadband had come back on ,it was very inconsistant jumping wildly from between 1 or 2 mb to about 18mb (thats less than half of what I had been gettin for the 2-1/2 months) I called again and was told it was sorted ,and an engineer was appointed to visit next morning ,after being read line and verse  regarding me footing the bill if the problem was on my premisis . anyway ,the engineer came and after many checks he could find no line faults but did mention the router seemed a bit suspect , he explained that the line would be automatically capped to half speed after a fault was detected and said he would arrange (request) a reset.
    next morning ,off it goes again ,nothing for two hours and ,  after trying everything I switched the two ethernet cables to different ports ,and it was up and running again , though still at half speed , contacted BT again and they did another series of checks , again they said there was a major fault on the line ,and an engineer was booked again for a home visit .
    this time the engineer while running a line test noticed the router was on a solid blue light dispite being disconnected fron the line ,and decided to fit a new one ,problem solved , fired up right away ,internet was much more responsive ,but the line was steady but half speed at 18.75 ish mb .he said (again) he would put down on the "job" that it required a reset and told me he would also request it personally as soon as he got back .  3 days later no sign of the reset and its constantly in the 18-19mb range , before for the entire 2 and a half months it worked it was a solid 37+mb  never once saw it go below 37mb and I do regular speed checks ,about 1 per week .
    can anyone here advise ,how to get it reset , anyone at bt seems uninterested ,do I need to stop my direct debit payment before they respond ???

    I bow to your expertize ,but the wireless has allways been competely disabled since i first had broadband and during the 2 and a half months I have been on infinity with absolutely no instability and as i mentioned before a rock solid 37mb line , no dropouts, no line variation , no disconnects, (peak or offpeak) until last saturday when the broadband went off ,since then its been a nightmare , 1 minute there is a problem on the main line ,then there is not , everyone from BT I spoke to gave a different story , there are no wifi devices anywhere near my home or in it , both  2.4 and 5ghz and bt-wifi(fon) have allway been disabled in my home .
    but to give BT the benifit of the doubt ,I will give them 10 days , before withdrawing my custom .
    thanks for the advice .

  • What does it take to get a 7232? Unacceptab​le on a new install...​.

    I think it's absolutely absurd that Verizon FiOS doesn't provide you with the latest hardware on a new install.  They had the audacity to install a Motorola 6416 first.  It only took a few days to notice it's ancient specifications and miniscule hard drive.  A call to FiOS customer service assured me that I would be sent the latest (I was very specific of this) model with a 500GB hard drive overnight.  Great!  Fantastic response and no hassles by the rep.  Well today I open the box to find only a moderate upgrade to the Motorola 7216.  Glancing inside through the ventalation I can see that it has a 500 GB hard disk.  But really, Verizon?  When I siged up for Verizon Wireless, you didn't hand me a flip phone.
    I understand having an upgrade process for existing customers.  If I had been a Verizon customer for a couple years I would gladly pay to upgrade to the latest device.  But for a brand new customer, they should give you the latest spec hardware.
    I haven't even plugged in the 7216 they overnighted.  What can I do to get the right hardware for a new customer?

    Hello,
    Many folks I know have the 7216 DVR and it has proven to be quite stable/durable as a set top box.  
    I have one at home and it has been great for the many years we've had it.
    It even has an eSATA port at the back of it, which means I can hook-up an external hard drive to it if I need to do so for additional recording capacity.
    Hence, the 7216 is satisfactory equipment for a new customer, and even luckier if you had received one with the 500 GB hard drive.
    Have you noticed any issues with that 7216 STB that you had gotten in the mail?
    If not, I would recommend keeping it. -- If it's not broken, don't fix it.
