• 2013 LabVIEW allows the user to return to the LabVIEW 2012 or 2011?

  Hi all

  I have LabVIEW 2013. I noticed that in LabVIEW measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) under the LabVIEW Run-Time 2012 SP1 f2 software is listed. This somehow means I can return or switch between LabVIEW 2013 and 2012 without having to install/reinstall?

  The reason why I ask, is that I have several instrument drivers written for LabVIEW 2012 sp1 I want to use.

  This is probably a silly question, I know.

  On a related note, is it possible to tell if a driver written for an older version of LabVIEW will work in a new version of LabVIEW? Or you just have to play with the software?

  Thank you

  Oh, John

  Hi John,.

  More explicitly answer your main question - you can install multiple versions of LabVIEW in parallel (at the same time, on the same PC), however that one version of patch of each major version (for example, 2011, 2012, 2013) can be installed - you can not install 2012 and 2012 SP1 at the same time.

  The runtime that you noticed has probably been installed with another component that was built in this environment.

  As Dennis said, the big thing to keep in mind is that your screws will have to be upconvertis/resized when moving between versions.

  If your instrument driver is written in 2012 LabVIEW using the serial at low altitude of LabVIEW drivers, it will certainly work in 2013.  If you open the screw driver in 2013 and that you do not see workload issues, you should be good to go.  If pilots request DLL or another have external dependencies can be involved more work.

  Kind regards

• How to copy or delete files from labview

  Hi all

  is there a way to manipulate the files automatically from labview?

  for example I want in starting a program to copy a file we will tell his repertoire C:\LOG log.txt to a new directory E:\Files and at the end of the program to remove the directory later.

  I have not found a vi that does this.

  Help, please

  Thank you

• Stop the search for the missing files from LabVIEW

  Is there a way to prevent the search for lack of screws LabVIEW? If I load a VI and one of its dependencies is spent, I want LabVIEW to fail immediately and to wonder where is the file.

  What version of LabVIEW are you using?

  Just hit ignore.  It stops to load files that it cannot find and load than it can.

• Problems with migration from LabVIEW 2012 VBAI 2012.

  Hello.

  Someone had problems with the migration of the VBAI 2012, 2012 to labview?
  I'm filing this disadvantage when use migration in VBAI everything works fine, when I use LabVIEW with 'Vision Acquisition Express' for example, everything works as it should.
   
  The solution I've done has been to work with the control VBAI API and it worked perfectly, but I wonder, if a bug or a known error on this process.

  Thank you.

  Finally, I solved it by installing the "Vision Development Module 2012 SP1". With this update worked correctly migration.

• How can I change the creation date of the file through Labview 2012?

  I want to change the format of the data stored in text files, but I want the dates of the files to stay the same.  Currently, my program creates files with the new dates.

  LabVIEW to my knowledge has no native functions to do.

  You can use functions to get/set CreationTime, LastAccessTime and LastWriteTime .NET on Windows.

  See attached VI (LabVIEW 8.6)

• Download file with LabVIEW webservices

  Hello community,

  I have running on a PC webservice and I would that my users to be able to log on the site (made), select the menu upload (done), select the file they want download (done), then using a POST method, I need a routine that acutally downloads the file to the server (not done) all of their browser. I found several links demonstrating how the customer can download a file from labview, but my clients do not have labview. Everything must be done through their browser.

  I enclose my solution how the server can send a file to the user. This part works, but I need a file transfer in the opposite direction as well.

  Thank you!

  

  Use "read downloaded files info" in the range of Web Services. It will allow you to access the files that you download an HTML form in your web service. It will give you a temporary file path that you can then open or copy.

• Easy way to convert screw screws from 2012 to 2011

  Community of greetings OR.

  Quick question - I hope so fast - I have written screws in 2012, but some people I work with that ask me to send them in 2011. And I thought you could cut and paste, and unfortunately, I discovered you can do that!

  Is there a way of "back - convert" screw screws from 2012 to 2011 for those who have not upgraded to 2012 yet?

  Thank you!

• Why the continuous measurement and Logging in LabVIEW 2012 Project uses strings instead of Enums and orders from the queue?

  Hello!

  I noticed that the continuous measurement and a project in LabVIEW 2012 Logging using chains instead of enums and orders from the queue. I wonder if there is a good reason for it?

  Kind regards

  Anguel

  First, string vs enum debate is probably the version of LabVIEW vim vs emacs. There are good arguments on both sides, and I doubt that there is always a "winner".

  A brief summary of our reasoning for the current state of the project examples:

  1. We used enums for the state machine because it is self-contained. A state machine will never tell himself to enter a State, he does not know. Knowing (as the programmer) all possible States with the help of an enum allows you to enlist the compiler in order to help us avoid mistakes to change the time (because you can't quite out an enum and LabVIEW can be said if you are not covering all cases to a structure of the case, etc..).

     Enums provide greater protection and rigidity by ensuring all withdrew at the time of publishing. This is often the 'default' recommendation that we do.

  2. We used strings for messages in queue manager because the producer of message and the message handler could be independent processes that are reused or traded. Channels avoid the need for the compiler to be able to connect the orders and push this responsibility to the programmer. This allows you to develop some sub-components independently as long as you agree to a series of channel commands that you can manage - you need not to share a file 'messages.ctl' or 'states.ctl '. It is conceivable a loop of message management a message it does not, how you can decide to either silently ignore it or will trigger an error (as we do in the model). The strings make it also easier if you want to swap the queues of LabVIEW outside by a TCP implementation for network vacilitate or intra-Processuse communication where the other end may or may not be written in LabVIEW.

     Channels to provide more flexibility (that is, you can add new commands to an existing via plugins system, you can pass parameters as part of the string, etc.) at the expense of pushing her potential errors at run time and to put more responsibility on the programmer.

  3. The actor's gifts frame a 3rd option - using classes such as messages. For me, it combines many of the advantages of these two enumerations (strictly typed, change errors) and strings (flexible and scalable), but with the disadvantage of being somewhat less transparent (you understand OO, be comfortable to navigate through a multitude of screws, legacy of understanding, etc.).

  I don't know there are other reasons, others to the breast OR had or seen as we validated models and examples of projects in-house, but here are my reasons. We know that we can not design for each situation there - our goal is to get useful models against new users to make them aware of what well thought LabVIEW programs are similar to experienced users know their applications better and I hope they do not hesitate to change what we provide or create their own designs, when they feel it's necessary. (On a side note, please share what you come up with - a community of experts sharing models would be really useful to us all LabVIEW users).

• Load a file EDS into LabView 2012

  Through research I found that DeviceNet Configurator is no longer available. I'm under LabView 2012 with IndComm/Devicenet 2.2 pilot. What replaces the DeviceNet Configurator? How to load the EDS files?

  Thank you

  Tennessee Paul

  My post here on a different topic, I thought that I would wear it to conclude this thread.

  Load an EDS file to the slave device

  1. Right-click on the slave device
  
  
  2. Select "Sheet"... »
  
  
  3. Click on add files...
  
  
  4. Navigate to the location of the EDS file.
  
  
  5. Select the file.
  
  
  6. Click OK.
  
  
  7. In the left pane, expand the data sheet newly added up to reach the node displays the version.
  
  
  8. Select the version.
  
  
  9. Click OK.

  Check the device and file EDS

  1. Right-click on the slave device
  
  
  1. Select utilities
  
  
  2. Select the Panel of Test online
  
  
  2. Select the option 'Device status' in the field of category on the left.
  
  
  3. On the right, select the slave device, you want to check.
  
  
  4. Click on "check the device".
  
  
  5. Read the errors/warnings or lack thereof.

  Edit the file EDS

  To change the EDS file, I used EZ-EDS , which is a specific devicenet EDS of ODVA freeware Editor.

  I did my corrections and saved my file EDS. (After having saved my original, of course).

  Remove the installed Labview EDS file

  1. Navigate to the following location: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\NI-IndComm for DeviceNet\Datasheet
  
  
  2. Remove the sheet (Note: there is more that one datasheet added manually.) Additional EDS files come with the IndComm driver. Find the EDS file for the specific device that you want to replace and delete).

• Just LabVIEW 2012. Why am I being asked to download LabVIEW 2011 SP1 f2 RTE Patch?

  Hello

  Recently, I got a new machine (clean install of Windows 8) and installed LabVIEW 2012, with no other previous versions. However, when I ran the Service OR day, he registered "LabVIEW 2011 SP1 f2 R(32-bit) Run-Time Engine Patch" as an update is critical.

  I'm confused; I accidentally installed LV 2011 too?

  Thank you

  No, you did nothing wrong.  time engine run freely installed with LabVIEW 2012 to record for previous versions.  Install the patch.

• How to load the Calibration file Agilent Instruments LabView 2012

  I'm using a vector Network Analyzer. Calibration is essential to give our creditbility of measurement results. In our case, we use Agilent instruments. Newer models allow certain calibration profiles be saved as States of calibration. These files are saved to the local hard disk of the unit and are loaded when needed.

  What is the equivalent to set all the parameters of calibration in this .cal file in the Agilent with Labview 2012 instrument?

  I downloaded the driver for my instrument and even ran the sample programs. It works fine but the calibration is set to the preset state that makes my whole system inaccurate.

  It should look like this (assuming that it's a NAP you use):

  

• Where LabVIEW 2012 keeps the files recently opened?

  When you open LabVIEW 2012, the right side of the home screen displays a list of existing open.  In my case, 'bad' screws and projects (some no longer exist) appear.  I would like to change this list to clear the junk.  However, it is more in the file LabVIEW.ini, there doesn't seem to be (although I may have missed it) in my LabVIEW data folder.

  Who knows where it is?

  Found!  This is the file LabVIEW.ini - either I was watching 'bad' that precedes it, or someone put something weird in my tea when I wasn't looking.  Cleaning now...

• File reading in Matlab, LabVIEW 2012

  Hello

  I am very new to LabVIEW and this could be a very simple question.

  I'm reading a simple labview .vi file in Matlab. I use the version of LabVIEW 2012 32 bit. I saved a file .vi and tried to load it into Matlab as mentioned inof LabVIEW in the MATLAB® environmentsection of http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/2f8ed0f588e06be1862565a90066e9ba?Open Document. But I can't load the data. Maybe I am doing it the wrong way.

  In  Section Of LabVIEW in the MATLAB® environment , I do not understand what is meant by ""write into the file of worksheet VI on the programming "' e/s filespalette. '"

  Can someone explain to me how to do this? I'm just trying to read any exmple saved in LabVIEW in Matlab. If anyone can give another example, which would also help a lot.

  Thanking you.

  INDI

  INDI,

  I think that your problem may be to understand the terminology.  .Vi files are LabVIEW programs, not data. Those who cannot be "read" by MATLAB.

  Writing in the worksheet File.vi is a VI that comes with LV on the palette file. It can be used in your program to write data to a file text delimited by tabs. These files can be read by MATLAB.

  What it the way which operate you: generate the data you want to save in your LabVIEW VI in the form of a table of numbers. Wire of this array of numbers to Scripture in the File.vi worksheet at the time where you want to save the data. If you do not connect a path at the entrance to the path of the file, a dialog box appears asking where to save the data.

• Error-63101 when executing the FPGA Interface C API Generator in LabVIEW 2012

  I'm using LabWindows CVI 2012 and 2012 LabVIEW FPGA module.  I try to use the FPGA Interface C API generator and I get the following error from a freshly generated .lvbitx bitfile.  I use the local server compiles on my PC.

  Error-63101

  NOR-RIO: A valid .lvbitx bitfile is required. If you are using a valid .lvbitx bitfile, the bitfile maybe isn't compatible with the software you use. Determine which version of LabVIEW was used to make the bitfile, upgrade your software to this version or later, and then try again.

  The problem occurs when executing CVI or LabVIEW.  I was able to do this earlier when I was compiling the FPGA in LabVIEW with the API generator 2011 downloaded from the Web site.

  A bit of weirdness in my setup, it's that I charged it off downloads from the website (latest files after 2012 NIWeek) rather than the normal distribution DVD.  I installed LabVIEW, so NI RIO, then the Xilinx tools compatible with 2012.  It works very well when you talk to the FPGA to a LabVIEW vi running on my Windows PC to the host.

  Any suggestions?

  Problem solved.  I had to download FPGA Interface C API generator 12.0.  It works now.

  I would have thought that if a product was called on the menu in LabVIEW 2012, it would be prompted to upgrade to a compatible version, when I installed LabVIEW.  The old version is not compatible with version 3.0 bitfiles, as identified on the following lines at the top of the .lvbitx file:
