Yokogawa UT driver for LabWindows/CVI 6.0 won't translate to LabVIEW 8.6?

The device driver for the Yokogawa UT series furnace controllers is in LabWindows/CVI 6.0 and I would like to use it in LabVIEW. I tried to use the utility to convert from LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW, but it said it couldn't and that the device driver is from before LabWindows/CVI 5.01.
In any case, here is the series of events.
I downloaded the LabWindows/CVI to LabVIEW Converter, from
the page on LabVIEW's developer's connection that had the driver for the
Yokogawa UT controller.
From an empty LabVIEW Block Diagram, I click
Tools>>Instrumentation>>Create LabVIEW Interface to LabWindows/CVI
Instrument Driver...
This takes a little while to load. During loading an
FC_Interface_Main.vi runs, apparently trying to find a file.
Once that is done, the two options are Basic and Advanced. I leave
basic selected. I click next. browse to find the ykut.fp file from the
driver I downloaded.
I then click next. The error window that is seen in the screen shot is
then shown.
I called a tech support guy at NI about this, and I e-mailed him with all the above, but there was no reply, though the conversion utility is no longer available on the same web page as this specific device driver.
In any case, if anybody could give a little guidance, it would be appreciated.

Hello Screamingzebras,
I converted the .fp file to be version 5.5 and ran the utility that was mentioned. I have attached two files to this post. "ykut.zip" is the converted .fp file (version 5.5). "yut.zip" is the converted instrument driver.

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.

LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers
System Requirements
NI LabVIEW 7.1 or later
Windows 2000/NT/XP
Use the LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows/CVI Instrument Drivers to create LabVIEW VIs for VXIplug&play and IVI-C instrument drivers from function panel (.fp) files.
Instrument Driver Network
Before using the conversion utility to create a new instrument driver wrapper, please visit ni.com/idnet to see if a LabVIEW Plug and Play instrument driver is available for your device. The Instrument Driver Network (IDNET) provides support for more than 3,000 different instrument models from over 170 different instrument vendors.
Recommendations
This utility was created for developers of C-based instrument drivers who wish to provide a LabVIEW interface, but do not develop a LabVIEW Plug and Play driver. By developing the C and LabVIEW interfaces together, it keeps the components synchronized, and eliminates the need for customers to create their own LabVIEW interfaces. Vendors should distribute the LabVIEW wrapper files with the associated VXIplug&play or IVI instrument driver, so that end users do not have to visit multiple web sites to download the complete driver.
If you are not an instrument vendor, we recommend that you use this utility only if you have instrument driver expertise. Access to the instrument driver source code is preferred, in case you need to edit the C instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI.
After generation, the wrapper VIs should be tested with the instrument.
Instructions
Once you install the software, simply access the utility from the Tools>>Instrumentation>>Import CVI Instrument Driver...menu in LabVIEW. This software replaces the built-in tool and provides feature enhancements.
For additional information on this utility, view the resources below.

Need exmamples for FP-CTR-502 for LabWindows/CVI

I am looking for examples for the FP-CTR-502 for LabWindows/CVI. Any help appreciated!

Currently, there are no 'official' examples for the 502/500 in CVI. However, there are some examples in the work.
I did make a very simple example to measure frequency using a user-specified gate width. This CVI project is attached.

Hi

I don't know of a driver, but you can download from agilent their Spectrum Analyzer compatability guide which cross references their analyzer's GPIB commands and create your own driver. It contains compatable commands for 8563 among others.

I still use the 488.2 board (successfully with WINNT, ME with patch, 95) and don't use instrument drivers, just include the NIGLOBAL.bas and the GBPI32.bas and import them into either a VB project or MS Excel. From what I've seen there are only two basic types of instrument commands, settings and queries (both text), so I don't use a pre-compiled driver. Also been successful at using Microsoft's Winsock ActiveX control for real

Add Transparency Attribute for LabWindows/CVI Panels

Add an attribute for LabWindows/CVI panels for setting transparency.
Currently, in order to achieve this behaviour users are forced to workaround this using Windows API.
Having an attribute for this purpose would allow users to benefit from this functionality more easily and would make LabWindows/CVI programs more cleaner.

I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore. How do I do a new full backup?

I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.
I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore. How do I do a new full backup?
When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups. It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure.
Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up. Instead, it took 30 minutes. That can't be right. I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that. Please help.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

Importing Instruments Driver from LabWindows/CVI

Does anybody have got wintools_32.dll library ?
I need it to convert LabWindowc/CVI Wintools Instrument Driver to Labview.
Could you send it to me?

Hi!
Thanks for your answer.
Exactly, I've tried to import LabWindows/CVI instrument driver to Labview.
This Instrument driver I've found here:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3F04956A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52176&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_source=External
During import procedure i was asked about wintools_32.dll library.
Personally I am interested in System Tray icons functionality of this driver.
I'm not sure that wintools_32.dll is Labwindows/CVI library, but i've searched Microsoft Windows pages with no results.
Regards.
Romek.

I am currently trying to implement the exer1.cws example from the Cvi sample and tutorials section.
But i get 9 Link errors while trying to generate the DLL.
I have attached the Link errors as a txt file.
Please tell me whats wrong with the program??
I have incorporated the RTmain as entry point function of the program.
I have initialised variables used in the main program globally.
Other user interface functions have also been defined outside the body of the Rtmain program.
Hope this info is sufficient.

Hey , Thanks for the reply.
The tutorial asks us to select the Option as 'Real Time Only'.
I reverted to 'Full Run-time engine' as you asked.
But there is no change.
Although i did debug most of the erros.
I just included the Functions in the headerfile.
But even though, i am stuck with two errors.
I am attaching the complete set as txt file.
Please see if you notice anything unorderly.

NI MAX entry for a Non-NI/VISA Instrument LabWindows/CVI Driver

Hi All,
Sorry in advance if this is not the right forum.
I have created a IVI class and specific instrument driver in LabWindows/CVI for a Video Generator. The generator is a networked, SCPI based instrument. It does not automatically appear in MAX like other NI based instruments.
How or what do I need to do to MAX to use the instrument? Is it as simple as adding the logical name, driver session and advanced driver entries to MAX? Do I need to create a new instrument in the HW section such that the driver session has a device to point to? I have been playing aroud with the networked instrument section in MAX and nothing seemed to make sense to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Maybe this Knowledge Base article will help get you started. I think you will need to add a new VISA TCP/IP Resource in Measurement and Automation Explorer.

Example LabWindows/CVI code for NI4351

Hi,
I'm using an NI4351 PCI DAQ card with the Ni435x
driver and LabWindows/CVI v5.5 (on Windows 98) to measure temperature
and voltage levels. Are there any simple tested code examples that I
could download, which use the NI435x driver function
NI435X_Check_and_Read(), called from an asynchronous timer for
continous scan? There are no problems when I use MAX (so hardware
problem is ruled out), but my code yields
occasional random temperature reading errors (looks like data
corruption to me). The NI435x_ functions return no errors. Can I use
lower level C driver functions instead of NI435X_Check(), NI435X_Read(), or NI435X_Check_and_Read()?
What does MAX use behind the scene? Of course, the MAX setup only scans
the one channel, so maybe this is why it works correctly. I have to
scan one temperature channel and six voltage channels though.
Many thanks,
John.

Humphreyy,
thanks for the tip. I tried it but it did not work, the same errors were present. Are there any other suggestions. I have racked my brain to figure out why this is happening and have come up with nothing. I am also getting a "Warning" message concerning the "KsMedia.h" file that says "Warning: Excess characters in multibyte character literal ignored." The warnings trace back to the "typedef enum" section of that file. Could that be causing a ripple effect that produces the error I am seeing in the other header files I mentioned??
I could really use your help and any more help that is available. I really don't want to use Visual C++, because this software is going to get more sophisticated and is to be used in NASA Langley's VISTAS simulator, an environment taylor made for National Instruments software.
