Ok, this was a little more complicated than I expected. Here's what I've learned.
The NXT Driver that needs to be 64-bit in order to be used on a 64-bit OS does in fact have a 64-bit version. Unfortunately, it is not included in the NXT Toolkit download available from NI's website. I'm not sure if it is downloadable separately from LEGO or not. It is included with the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 1.1 and later software.
I suspect that if you have LabVIEW 8.5.1 (32-bit) installed on a 64-bit Vista machine, and you then install the NXT Toolkit for LabVIEW 8.5.1, and finally install LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 1.1 or later, the toolkit would work. I have not tested this, however.
So you could try it (at your own risk - I wouldn't anticipate any problems beyond it perhaps not working, but can't make any guarantees), or find a 32-bit system as Grant suggested. If you do try it, please post here with what you find.

How to implement a psophometric filter in Labview software without uising Sound and vibration toolkit?

Someone know the method to implement a psophometric or weighted filter in Labview software Without using Sound and Vibration Toolkit?
Thanks

The simplest way to implement a psophometric filter is to use the Sound and Vibration toolkit.
Anyway if you don't want to purchase it, you can have a look at this forum discussion and this one.

LabVIEW NXT toolkit and Vista

Hi All,
This is not a burning problem, but have folks tried out the NXT toolkit with Vista? I've installed Vista Business Edition under our MSDNAA license on a development machine to start slogging through compatability issues with our current suite of software, and it appears the LabVIEW NXT toolkit may be an early casualty.
The toolkit installs fine under Vista BusEd, but the NXT console application crashes when I try to run it from the LabVIEW IDE menu.
Any thoughts/experiences with this?
Best regards,
-Bill =]

Hi Joel,
Thanks for your reply. The specifics of my development system are below:
OS: Windows Vista Business
Proc: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHZ
RAM: 1014 MB
Type: 32-bit OS
I chose to use the Vista UPGRADE of WinXPsp2 rather than a wipe and clean install. Before upgrading the OS I removed all previous versions of LabVIEW (7.1 and 8.0) and also removed the Mindstorms NXT-G system.
After the OS upgrade to 32-bit VistaBusEd, I installed LabVIEW 8.20, then Mindstorms NXT-G, several LabVIEW Toolkits and finally the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit.
When I try to load LabVIEW code that uses (for example) the sendDirectCommand.vi from the FantomSDK, I get the following block diagram error:
"Call Library Function Node 'fantom.dll:nFANTOM100_iNXT_sendDirectCommand': function not found in library
Details: The function name specified for this node cannot be found in the library. Right-click the Call Library Function node and select Configure, then choose the correct function name.
When I follow the Details procedure, I specify the exact location of the fantom.dll, select nFANTOM100_iNXT_sendDirectCommand from the Function name dropdown listbox, the Thread is set to Reentrant and the Calling convention is set to "C".........after closing the dialog I get:
Error loading "C:\.....path.....\fantom.dll".
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
Also, when I create a blank vi and drop a function from the LabVIEW NXT toolkit, such as NXTToolkit.DC.FindNXT.vi on the block diagram, I imediately get the following similar error:
Error loading "fantom.dll".
A dynamic line library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
Does this help?
Many thanks,
-Bill =]
p.s. - BTW, the Minstorms NXT-G system works as expected under the 32-bit VistaBusEd using both USB and Bluetooth.....so I guess VistaBusEd is able to intialize and communicate through the fantom.dll when used by NXT-G.

Mathscript node: an internal mathscript error has occurred: 64-bit LabVIEW 2009

Hi Folks -
I have an installation now of
LabVIEW 2009 9.03f, Vision, and Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit, all
64-bit versions on a new computer so that I can convert some code from
32- to 64-bit.
I figure I will address errors
one-by-one and here's the first one. I have a VI with a mathscript
node and the VI, which loaded and ran fine in the 32-bit environment,
is now broken and giving the error "mathscript node: an internal
mathscript error has occurred." My main concern - is mathscript not
supported in 64-bit LabVIEW right now?
I am attaching the VI. Any ideas are appreciated. I need to get this working.
Also, NI, is there a special 64-bit forum that we should post to in the future, or create to post to?
Sincerely,
Don

From 2009 help
LabVIEW MathScript is a text-based language you can use to write functions and scripts. You can process scripts using LabVIEW MathScript in the LabVIEW MathScript Window or a MathScript Node. When you create a LabVIEW MathScript, you must use supported data types.
The MathScript syntax is an intuitive and logical
syntax predominantly based on standard mathematical and computer
programming terms, terms in widespread and common use, and/or
descriptive abbreviations, truncations and concatenations of standard
terms. The LabVIEW MathScript Window and MathScript
Nodes are able to process files you create using the current MathScript
syntax and, for backwards compatibility, files you created using legacy
MathScript syntaxes. The LabVIEW MathScript Window
and MathScript Nodes also can process certain of your files that use
other text-based syntaxes, such as files you created using the MATLAB® software. Because the MathScript RT Module engine is used to process scripts in the LabVIEW MathScript Window
and MathScript Nodes, and because the MathScript RT Module engine does
not support all syntaxes, not all existing text-based scripts are
supported.
(LabVIEW 64-bit) LabVIEW MathScript is not supported in LabVIEW (64-bit).

Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

Hello,
I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.
Thank you very much.

ThermoVision Labview Digital Toolkit for connection with a FLIR SC645 is not working

Can somebody help me?
I have troubles connecting my FLIR SC 645 with my Labview Software.
The “FLIR R&D Software” works fine I can make a connection with the camera over Ethernet, I can take images and read temperatures.
Now I want to use the labview toolkit to automate the measurement in a production process.
So the camera is connected over a Ethernet port directly to the PC.
I can see the camera in NI MAX under NI-IMAQdx Devices. If I try to snap a image a error occurs:
Error 0xBFF69031 The system did not receive a test pack from the camera.
The package may be to long or a firewall may be enabled.
When I dig in the libraries of ThermoVIsion I found the “ThermoVision Cam Ctrl.vit”. This program does work, it connects to the camera and I can do a internal calibration and some focusing but that is it. The examples from Thermovision does give me a black image and a Error -1.
Does anyone has some experience with this toolkit?
The main idée I had is to inport the image into a vision builder and their work with some intensity levels. Is this possible? And how do I connect with the camera?
Hendrikx Danny

Hello,
usually IR cameras have dfferent pallete displays (monochrome, rainbow, saturation, etc...). The default is probably monochrome, that is why you are seeing it. You should be able to change the output by sending the appropriate command to the camera.
Regarding the jumbo frames (I suggest that you leave this alone, if you get your camera working):
let me google it for you

Reader compatability with x64 bit browsers?

I'm hoping to find out how I can use Adobe reader plugin with x64 bit IE7 & IE8 so I can read and search PDF files from within the browser. I use Vista X64 which actually installed both 32 & 64 bit versions of IE7 and when I use the 32 bit version of IE7 pdf's open in the browser just fine but when I try to open a pdf using the 64 bit version of the browser it insists on opening an external program instead of just opening the file in a tab of the browser. Is this even possible with a 64 bit browser? Is the solution something simple like I simply need to reinstall Adobe Reader 9.1 via the 64 bit browser to enable the feature or is it a hopeless idea?
I'm mainly wondering because I'm considering installing IE8 and don't want to have any problems

Is it possible to run my Labview software in Windows 7

Hi there,
I currently use Labview 8.2.1 and Labview DSC 8.2.1.
But within a short time I want to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7.
My question now is:
Is it possible to switch to Windows 7 without any problems?
Will the Labview software still run under Windows 7 without problems, or do I have to download new drivers or other software?
I hope to get a reaction soon.

Hi Cheese,
Official LabVIEW support/compatibility with Windows 7 is explained under the following articles.
National Instruments Product Compatibility for Microsoft Windows 7
Windows Version Compatibility with LabVIEW
LabVIEW Module and Toolkit Compatibility Information
On the forums, people seemed to have mixed reviews about older versions of LabVIEW with newer versions of Windows 7. Another piece of food for thought is Windows 7 (some versions) contain a "Windows XP Mode", which MAY allow you to run this version of LabVIEW in 7 however as the above articles show this is not the supported version. Essentially the XP mode allows virtualisation of XP OS on Windows 7. I've not personally tried it with this version of LabVIEW, but it's just an idea!
Windows Virtual PC
Upgrading to the latest version of LabVIEW will work and is fully supported.
Hope this may help

MATLAB DataPlugin for 64-bit LabVIEW

Where is the 64-bit LabVIEW support for writing Matlab .mat files? Or is the source code available for the 32-bit version (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4178) so that someone can compile their own?
Thanks,
D

To clarify what Chris said, 64-Bit Operating Systems with a 32-Bit emulation (x86 directory) are certainly fine with 32-Bit LabVIEW. (this excludes Windows XP 64-Bit as it has no emulation layer)
Most general 32-Bit vs. 64-Bit LabVIEW questions are covered in this KnowledgeBase article.
To summarize, you'll have full LabVIEW functionality with the 32-Bit version.
The 64-Bit version of LabVIEW is really only recommended for Vision applications that need the additional resources for large image processing.
As another note, currently, most of our software also only supports 32-Bit versions of The MathWorks, Inc. Software.

Is there a Oracle 9.2 version for X64 bit platform

Hello!!
I have X64 bit machine with Windows 2003 server enterprise x64 edition installed.
Is there a Oracle 9.2 version which I can install on this machine?
In the site I found the Oracle 9.2 version for IA64.
Could anyone give me any pointers as to where I can find Oracle 9.2 for x64 platform.
thanks and regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
currently you only can install 9.2 32bit (Patch Set 9.2.0.3.0 or higher is required) on this platform. Pure 64bit software is only available for Itanium and EMD64/AMD64 architectures. I don't know if there are any plans to change that.

Can OS X Lion Run Windows 7 x64 Bit?

Hi Guys,
"Can OS X Lion Run Windows 7 x64 Bit?"
- I can see nothing in the bootcamp section that states it must be x32 bit?
... Soooo Yea...
- Dave.

Apple told me to NOT download the Boot Camp driver for Windows using the Boot Camp Assistant application in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. I was told to download Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64-bit from the Apple website or use the ones that were included on the Mac OS X 10.6 disc providing they were at least version 3.1 and install those. Then I was told to run Apple Software Update to see if there were new Boot Camp drivers available and if there were to download and install them and to then run Apple Software Update to see if there was another version after that and if the was to install that one if not then I had the latest version. I take it that the latest version is 3.2 which was released 18 November 2010 since it didn't tell me about a newer version.

Controlling pxi 7350 using labview software

Hi,
So i am a complete newbie when it comes to labview having only used it to control virtual instruments before and now i am the point where i want it to interact with real world items. Ok so here goes..... i have the latest labview development software and have also purchased a pxi1033 with a pxi4065 digital multimeter and a pxi 7350 motion controller integrated within.
my problem however is that i want to be able to control my motors via the umi7772 interface but cannot seem to find the correct symbols on the labview software to utilise them, i would like to use labview to create a program that will turn the stepper and evaluate what is on the dmm and then turn accordingly this is way above my level on labview currently but if anyone has any ideas then any information is greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hello Jamest6,
I have found some useful documentation that will help you get started with you 7350 and LabVIEW.
First of all here is a community example that you can take a look at. It is possible to download the example itself from the bottom of the page.
Read Analog Input (AI) values from NI-Motion device 73xx : https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-5617
Then you can access these knowledge base articles for some more guidance :
How Do I Use the Digital Input/Output Lines on my 7330, 7340, or 7350 Motion Controller Card? : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2D238C3BF101620C862573A60081BFFE?OpenDocument
How do I control the analog ouputs from an NI PCI motion controller in Measurement & Automation Explorer?: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/04B940903BDD987C862579320083C6FF?OpenDocument
Also using these manuals for both prducts will be of help to you :
NI 7330/7340/7350 Motion Controllers and
P7000 Series Stepper Drives:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372324d.pdf
NI UMI-7774/7772 : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373359c.pdf
Another great source for looking at or using example VIs is the LabVIEW's Example Finder. Go to Help » Find Examples... When that window pops ups, double-click Toolkits & Modules in the folder list, then double-click NI Motion Assistant. I'm guessing the "Straight Line Move.vi" or "Blended Move.vi" would be most helpful to you, but you could read the descriptions of each example listed for a little bit more information about what the examples are doing.
Hope these are useful!

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,

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!

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.

LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0f2.zip patch did not work

I was installing the LabView 8.2 distrubution that came along as my August update package. Since I was loading this on a brand new machine, I went straight to 8.2. According to the information in the package, when I load in the Toolkit Software, I needed to add some patches. I located two patches, one for the Express VI Development Toolkit and one for the Internet Toolkit. The Express VI Development Toolkit patch worked exactly like its documentation said it would. The Internet Toolkit would not run correctly. It gave me this diagnostic: "The LABVIEW Internet Toolkit 6.0f2 patch was unable to update your files. Ensure you have administrator/root privileges ana that none of the files in <LabVIEW dir>\www\cgi-bin or <LabVIEW dir>\vi.llb\addons\internet are set to read-only. Then re-run the patch."
I have adminsitrator privileges (I've been installing software for two days). I looked at the files in the two directories that they asked about, and there were none at read-only. Help!!
Thanks!

Dave,
I've seen this problem before. When you unzip the patch files, you must preserve the folder structure included in the ZIP file. Specifically, it creates some subfolders (Windows, Mac, and Linux, I think) that reside next to the patch LLB. The patching VI will be looking for specific files in those folders next to the LLB (depending on your operating system)...if you just have all the files from the ZIP next to each other, with no folder structure, the patch VI will error out. This happened to me more than once, and it was always because I accidentally just dragged all the files out of the ZIP onto my Desktop instead of actually "unzipping" them into the proper folder structure...I believe the readme for the patch mentions this issue.
Let me know if this suggestion works. For future patches, I'll probably recommend we either include all patch files in a flat structure, or have some error checking code in the patch VI that checks next to the patch LLB if the expected location is not found.
