Write Elvis Programms on Labview

Hello,
first i am new on Labview.
I wanted to write a Program on Labview for NI Elvis II.
But i didnt find anyy possibility using and input from the Elvis Board.
Do i need to install some special Libs? If yes where are they?
Thanks
Greetings
Nikolai

Launch LabVIEW, then run Help >> Example Finder and search for Elvis. Many examples should be installed. Also go to your palette on the block diagram and search for Elvis and you'll find the palette with all the function calls.
If you are new to LabVIEW you may want some free training.

I want to write a program in LabView then pass the test results to teststand to check if it pass or fail without displaying the test stand program,

I want to write a program in LabView and create an execute but I want to be able to pass test results to test stand to find it the unit pass ar fail the test then save the data to a database. How would i go about it.

What's confusing is your statement that you want to do this "without display the test stand program". You can minimize the TestStand UI to the task bar but if you don't want TestStand to be running, how can TestStand evaluate the result. Explain a little more please.
In the message body of your post, you just say you want to create a LabVIEW exe and pass the results to TestStand. What I would recomend is that instead of an exe, you create a dll and use TestStand's DLL adapter to call it and return the results. TestStand will evaluate it and do the logging.

Write a VI in Labview to detect the time

To write a VI in Labview to detect time T when the voltage across the capacitor rises to 0.6321 of the applied value.
Then knowing the value of R, C can be calcul\ted by: C= T/R . Please where will I start.
C = Capacitor
R = Resistor
T = Time
The equation t=RC can be rearranged to show that Vc = 0.6321.E (V)
Where do I begin. I have looked the Labview tutorials.

How are you reading the voltage ? I guess you must be using an DAQ card to do this right ?
If you have a card which can read the voltage in a specific interval of time (that you can specify) for a certain number of readings upon triggering (say every 10 microsec 1 reading for 10msec = 1000 ADC reading). The device must be having a buffer to keep all these data as well (so that you won't interrupt the device until it finishes). Once reading finished, you can read the buffer and look for the time reading 0.6 x applied voltage (or close). Once you see this reading, you can calculate the time as [the index of the reading x 10micro sec].
The key here is to find the card that can do it this way.

Anyone ever write a compiler in LabVIEW

I am looking for anything anyone has done along the lines of writing a compiler in LabVIEW. I have no experience writing a compiler, and would like to know if it can be done with LabVIEW.
My goal is to create MS Executable files to perform simple tasks.
Thank you,
Mike Du'Lyea

Labview is a very capable language in itself. To use it to compile code
written in another language would be a waste of time seeing that the whole
point of Labview is to reduce development time, not add another layer of
complexity.
If you want to learn C\C++ I recommend getting a book and working the
examples, I like Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel it is available for free on
electronic form or you can by the paper version.

Using a segger's flasher 5 programmer in labview

I want to use labview to send and receive commands to a Flasher 5 programmer made by Segger. It comes with ASCII command sets, and I was unsucessful in getting the return information using the basic serial read and write, labview example, error states that is timeout on the read. When you send a AUTO command the programmer is suppose to erase, program and verify the microcontroller, in which it sends back response when it completes each step. The port is setup correctly, because when the auto command is sent, the programmer lights blink, but having problems with the read. Anyone familiar with this particular programmer and could give me some pointers, it would be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was using the basic serial read and write in the labview examples, so its a common VI, the issue was getting the response back from the programmer. Listed below is the command set when using the programmer in serial mode.
#AUTO
The Auto command behaves exactly as the start button or external remote control input.
·   Flasher starts clearing target, if “automatic clear before program“ option was set.
·   Flasher programs target CPU
·   Flasher verifies target CPU
·   Flasher verifies its internal CRC to validate the programming operation.
Finally, Flasher responds with
·   #OK if no error occurred
·   #ERRxxx if any error occurred during operation. xxx represents the errorcode, normally replied to Flasher PC program. The #ERRxxx message may be followed by an additional error text.
During execution of the AUTO command, Flasher automatically sends “status” messages via RS232 to reflect the state of execution. Typically during execution of #AUTO command, Flasher will reply the following sequence of messages:
#ACK
#STATUSTART CMD
#STATUS:CONNECTING
#STATUS:CLEARING
#STATUS:WRITING
#STATUS:VERIFYING
#STATUS:VERIFY FLASHER CRC
#OK
or no staus until end:
#AUTO NOINFO
This command may be used instead of AUTO, if no status messages from Flasher should be sent during execution.
The command ends with #OK or #ERRxxx
EACH command sent ends in an ASCII 13 ("CR").
Labview is timing out before the response even if I increase the time.

Has anyone tried to write a wizard in labview?

Hi,
We are planning a new GUI for our hardware, and we want to implement a Wizard, with next and back buttons. Our old GUI is implemented in Labview, and we had lots of database problems (globals, memory etc.). Is there a way to implement a wizard in Labview with a database that can be updated easily (not a structure - everytime you add something everything changes, a file seems slow and cumbersome, a functional global - would it work for a large amount of data?) and will prevent race conditions (part of the program trying to write the same time as another)?
Any ideas would be welcome!
Thanks,
Danielle

Danielle,
i didn't say that a FGV is not good for the task. I only doubt that a single FGV will do the job.

Does that require complete new elements in your datastructure? If yes, it is very hard to solve it.
I asuyme that most changes can be captured by using "intelligent" elements in your datastructure like enums and typified clusters.
Bringing up a very important point: In situations like this, it is imho mandatory to create good typedefinitions in order to keep proper versioning.
Working with SCC helps a lot, too, because you can track all changes made over time very easy, and switching back is possible as well.
Regarding the queue-question:
There are many good examples/tutorials and posts available, so please do a short search.
I recommend you to start here.
hope this helps,

How to write UDL file in Labview for Database connection

Hi
I am using SQL Server database. I am making connection with SQL by using UDL file. If I create Normal UDL file in windows and make connection it happens. I want to change or add some parameter Like database name. If I am changing this value by using labview, the file gets corrupted, and not able to make connection with SQL.
I want to create database by program. User should not create the database.
Kindly suggest me the proper solution.

It may look like a text file, but it's not a text file that uses plain-old ASCII. If you open it in Notepad you won't see anything obvious. You actually have to open the UDL file with a hex editor, and you will see the differences. Specifically:
The file starts with the header FF FE. This indicates Unicode. LabVIEW does not support Unicode.
Each characters is actually 2 bytes. Thus, the first character you see in Notepad is "[" (for the section start). In hex this is 05 for plain-old ASCII, but 05 00 for Unicode (which is what's actually in the file).
Thus, if you absolutely must write out the file using LabVIEW you will need to write it out in binary mode, inserting the 0x00 bytes, and the FF FE at the start.

How can I insert a C++ programm in labview 5.1;

I am using Labview 5.1 to read data from sensors (analog input), but I would like to read data from a serial RS232 port. How I can do this;If I write a C++ program, how can I insert this in labview;

Ah, I think I understand.
Your ECU is sending a stream of six bytes...
FF,data1,data2,data3,data4,data5
And I guess it just does this continuously.
So, you probably want to continuously read the data and update a data structure that shows all of your engineering data (such as what state the throttle and other things are in).
There are a variety of ways you could handle the reading of data. E.g., you could just read all available data and search for 0xff, or you could read one byte at a time until you find 0xff. You could also just set your termination character to 0xff.
Anyway, once you get your data into LabVIEW as a string, you can use the String to Byte Array function to create an array of int8's. (You could then search i
n there for a -1 value for your synchronization byte.)
Once you have an array of int8's, you can index it and use Number to Boolean Array to convert each int8 into an array of Booleans. This will get you the individual bits that come from the ECU.
Hopefully this makes sense and gets you far enough along.

Can I control PIC programmer using LabVIEW

Read/Write text files in LabVIEW

We have developed an instrument control and data acquisition system for a mass spectrometer using LabVIEW FPGA. Currently we have 6 counters on the FPGA, counting for 1 second intervals and transferring data to the host using a FIFO.
The data, as a local variable, is used in several different parallel loops on the host. One of these is coded to write the data to a text file. Unfortunately everything we have tried has failed. It is proving impossible using either the write to file VI provided with labVIEW, or to use the Open file, write and close file utilities. Each attempt has failed. Yet when running a dummy code we can write to files. The dummy code consists of 6 random number generators running in one loop and the write to file VI in a second loop. The random numbers are transferred across the loops as local variables.
Can anyone offer any advice as to what we might be doing wrong. We're beginning to feel as though we are banging our heads against a brick wall and getting very frustrated.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Paul,
you neither say, what is failing nor do you show any code... How should we help then?
"impossible using ... the write to file VI"
Well, usually they work just fine.
"Each attempt has failed."
In which way? Error number given? Did you use the debuging tools, like probing, breakpoints and highlighting?
"as local variables."
It seems you're not properly do program "real" LabVIEW code

How can I control PIC programmer with LabVIEW

I need to control a PIC Programmer (MPLAB PM3) with LabVIEW. How to do this?

Hi Paul.
I am working on a project that is using LabVIEW to communicate via serial communication with 4 programmers (Com 1, 2, 3, & 4). I am currently using the Microchip PM3 programmer DOS utility PM3CMD.exe to send/receive commands from the system exec.vi in LabVIEW. I am attempting to program simultaneously with 4 programmers, but the PM3 programmers are returning a database error if I try and communicate with more-than 2 programmers at a time. I noticed that you have some experience with some drivers from Microchip and using serial commands.
Do you have any suggestions that may help me.
Thanks.

CAN I WRITE "COM CLIENT" USING LABVIEW?

I am trying to trnsfer data from Texas Instrument's Code composer to other software packages which in my case is Labview. In TI's tutorial it is mentioned that this can be done by writting "COM Client". Please suggest.
Regards,

There may be other easier ways too. If you can create DLLs with this Code Composer, you can access those from LabVIEW. That's the easiest way. You can also build CINs (Code Interface Nodes), though I would suggest not going this way, as it is much more tedious than just calling a DLL.

How to convert a driver write in C to LabVIEW?

Hello, i have a problem with an Instrument: i have the driver write in C but don´t was made in LabWindows/CVI and i have that convert it to a driver in Labview. How i to convert the driver in C to a driver in Labview???
Thanks for you help!!!

MOTOR.txt ‏4 KB

There is no method to automatically convert a C program into a LabVIEW. Looking at the code, it seems that the program is writing to the instrument over the parallel port. You can do the same thing in LabVIEW with the Outport function or use a VISA Write. There is a turorial on using the parallel port here.
And please, refrain from the duplicate posts. You should have replied to your original posting instead of asking the same question again twice.

Programme en labview

avec labview je veux quand la lampe clignote on commence à calculer la durée pendant laquelle on a cet états et nous donne le moment ou on avait l'arrêt de même si on a l'état contraire on calcule la durée et nous donne l'instant de démarrage et je veux que les résultats s'affiche dans un tableau ou on a le moment d'arrêt , la durée d'arrêt ,le moment de démarrage et la durée de marche , et le cumulé des arrêts.
j'ai fais une présentation avec Paint j'espére que vous comprenez ce que j'essaye de vous clarifiez et vue que je suis débutante en labview j'aimerais bien que vous m'aidez à modifiez ça de telle sorte que j'aurais la durée exacte et le moment de marche et la durée exacte et le moment d'arrêt qui sont insérés dans le tableau
