use excel to generate signals in labview

Hello

I have an a problem generating a signal in labview using excel and then he charted under the waveform.

In excel file, I 2199 rows and 9 columns with the second time and I want to draw time against other columns except column 1. In the rows, I have the text first.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

A simple thing you can do. Open the Excel file and save as delimited .txt file and use the reading of the spread sheet file to read the data and then remove the first line and convert DBL and then draw it.

Good luck

  • Unable to connect to the generator signal with LabView

    Hello

    I use a Tektronix AFG 3021 B signal generator. I installed the National Instruments driver (tkafg3k) for this device. My computer is connected to the signal in the block diagram generator, I place a block called "Example - Getting Started vi". I run the vi (there is no need of connections, so the vi has just the one block).

    The vi then gives me this error:

    Error 1073807343 has occurred to be initialized with Options.vi of tkafg3k
     

    Possible reasons:

    Driver status: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) primary error: error (Hex 0xBFFF0011) - information on the inadequate location or a resource that is not present in the system

    I know that the signal generator properly communicating with the computer because when I run "VISA Resource Manager", I can ask for the name of the device and it returns the correct name.

    -I'm using Labview 8.6.

    -I have NI-VISA installed 4.2

    -The driver that I use is available here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=005994E37F5B2318E0440003BA7CCD...

    -J' use the driver that is for version 7.1

    -J' uses this compliance record: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1095/lang/en

    What is the cause of this error and how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Do you really need to use the IVI driver, or you can use the LabVIEW driver? If you have need of IVI, configure you the Max with a logical name, etc.

    PS You have posted to the wrong Board. It is for the signal generators of NOR. You should have posted to the Instrument of narcotics control.

  • Research of interface software for FlexRIOs using API c do I need LabVIEW once I use the C API generator?

    Current versions of software:

    LabVIEW 2014 SP1

    LabVIEW FPGA 2014

    Xilinx Vivado

    Hi all

    I plan to interface my FlexRIOs to the software programmed in C, then the C API FlexRIO is excellent.

    My question is more economy of memory sake.

    I have a PC with Visual Studio, I want to add the minimum amount of software development.

    If I have a station (a separate Visual Studio PC PC) FPGA development with all LabVIEW software necessary to take the step of the use of the generator of the C API to create the necessary files of C and H, should what software I on the development PC Visual Studio in interface with the files in the generated C API?

    If all goes well, it's just (from the help)

    What you need to get started

    • Drivers for devices OR RIO August 2013 or later

    However... The help of the C API, it gives me the full list of the software including LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA... (below)

    What you need to get started

    In addition to a RIO device like a CompactRIO reconfigurable chassis, a Single-Board RIO device or RIO PCI or PXI hardware, you need the following software to use FPGA Interface C API.

    • LabVIEW 2009 SP1 or later (32-bit only)
    • LabVIEW FPGA Module 2009 SP1 or later (32-bit only)
    • Drivers for devices OR RIO August 2013 or later
    • Operating system supported development
      • Windows 8 or 8.1 (32-bit or 64-bit)
      • Windows 7 Professional (32-bit or 64-bit)
      • Windows Vista Business (32-bit or 64-bit version)
      • Windows XP Professional SP2
      • Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit version)
      • Windows Server 2003 (64-bit version)
    • Target supported OS
    • Supported C/C++ compiler

    So I have LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA on the development PC?

    (If all goes well no....)

    Thank you

    Hey Colonel1013,

    With the C API, you only need LabVIEW to build a bitfile and run the generator of C API tool, but LabVIEW is not required to run. That is, you need all the software listed, but it must not all be on the same machine. You can transfer the file lvbitx and the .c and .h files generated on another machine where you need only NOR-RIO and Visual Studio installed.

  • date of reading of hurt to excel using the report generator tool kit

    Hello
    Im trying to read a date from an excel worksheet by using the report generator tool. I talked about this http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/01B026BEB54E3414862571B600618827 KB and it works... kind of.

    My dates are all read next 4 years and 1 day. Can't really understand why?

    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Thank you
    David

    The format of the time in LabVIEW is distinguished by the time format in Excel. If you simply convert the timestamp cluster double
    and paste that data into Excel, it won't make sense. This is because the Excel format is based on the number of days
    Since January 1, 1900. The time of LabVIEW is based on the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1904. Converts this vi
    LabVIEW to Excel time time. reverses the logic of switch from excel to labview

  • Generate signals using a file

    Hello

    I want to generate signals with my USB-6211 from a prepared file in advance, so I have a file full of sampling points and you want to generate a signal with this file. The file can achieve big enough. So I need to find a way to partially fill the generator with samples...?

    Anyone?

    Best regards

    Thijs

    Hello Thijs,

    What file do you use? Excel? TDMS? txt? or others?

    I guess you wrote your samples in a normal txt file.

    To do this, you can read in your worksheet (if its only data without columns, which are not serious) you can use the worksheet File.vi reading

    This VI reads all the data that you specify (how many lines, shift etc.) after that, you can simply set your table with the normal array functions and give these data

    to your task AO.

    Let me know if this was helpful, or if you would like more information.

    Kind regards

  • How can I synchronize two signals in Labview?

    The first signal is a pulse index which gives the position of a reference point of the wheel (= 1 for 0 ° and signal = 0 for 1-360 °), and the second signal gives the total force meeting the wheel. The two signals have different sampling rates high. The first signal is always 360/rotation, but the second signal varies from cycle to cycle based on how fast the force is changing. The signals are in the form of two columns of numbers in an excel spreadsheet.

    I would like to do such as Labview at the exit of the angular position of the reference at the time of the cycle where the wheel knows the maximum strength in degrees. Can anyone suggest a vi or a method that I might be able to use for this task? I am new to Labview, so any help is appreciated.

    Hi Westerman,

    I have a little trouble to understand the basics of what you're trying to do. A little more details would be very helpful pointing you in the right direction. If you want to align the timestamps/reference of the two signals time?

    I've included a link to a document that describes generally how encoders (I guess that your pulse index indicates that you are using an incremental encoder) can be used in LabVIEW.

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/7109/en

    You should also try the search the forums for questions relating to the use of a rotary encoder in LabVIEW. I was able to find several with the included code example.

    Feel free to provide us with a few details and we'll help guide you.

  • Opening Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in LabVIEW with digital signature of files

    Hello

    I try to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in LabVIEW (or were then converted into a format that can be opened). After the opening, to fill out checklists can insert a digital signature preset (possibly through an authorisation of user name and password) and save the file while preventing further edit or print a pdf of this report.

    I have a good experience with LabVIEW, but not in this kind of a system.

    I appreciate if someone can point me in the direction to start.

    Regarding (1): there is no ActiveX control to view the Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint files. If you want to display these on a front of LabVIEW, so the simplest solution is to use a web browser on the front panel control. This will allow you to provide the path to the file in the URL of the web browser control navigation and the file will be embedded in the browser control. It would be no different than the consultation within Internet Explorer.

    Regarding (2): assuming that you view the document on the front panel, this looks like the basis of LabVIEW programming, so I don't know what you're asking for here, or that you are having problems with.

    With regard to the (3): I must admit that I'm not quite clear on what will be signed. It also seems that the signing and printing of PDF are two distinct objectives here.

  • Can Excel launch an executable of Labview?

    Hi all:

    Can Excel launch an executable of Labview?

    I would like to open an Excel file, fill data in Sheet1

    and then press a button on the worksheet "Sheet1" Excel.

    By pressing this button, it will start to run an executable of Labview.

    Thank you all,.

    \\carlos in Sunnyvale, CA

    An executable of LabVIEW is an executable file like any other executable file. As long as the LabVIEW run-time engine is installed, you can call in an Excel macro using the Shell() command as calling Shell (executable).

    (EDIT: clicked Post until I had finished it)

    OR, you try to call using ActiveX with LabVIEW as an ActiveX Server?

  • How to use Excel on iPhone 6 s/ios 9.2?

    I need basic help for a beginner who has never used the 'cloud', in any version.

    I use Excel for updating a single database stored on my desk while I'm home.  I want to keep the latest version of this file in a cloud and then use Excel on my iphone while I'm on vacation, keep up to date while I'm away from home.  Then, when I'm back home, I want to replace the now-old version on my desktop with the version I updated while I was on the road.  How do these things?

    I have an iphone 6 s. I use ios 9.2.  So I have an icloud account.   I have Excel 2013 at home on the desktop.  I heard onedrive, which is made by Microsoft, not Apple, I think.  It sounds as if OneDrive and iCloud are the same kind of 'cloud' storage.  Right? If so, should I use iCloud or OneDrive, or it doesn't matter?

    Once, I download the Excel application, then what?  Just open and continue normally as I do using the desktop computer?  How can I find the file I want to work, once I put it in iCloud or OneDrive?  It will be apparent once I use the Excel application where to find?

    Finally, once I am once again, the House how do I put the file of the cloud on my desktop instead of the obsolete version hard drive now that I left behind?

    Sorry for stupid questions, but it shows you what you're dealing with if you're trying to help me!  And thanks in advance, if you do!

    Tom

    Use a disc of Microsoft to store your file from your desktop and then use the version of iOS of Excel to access to your player account.

    https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/Microsoft-Excel/id586683407?Mt=8

    https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/

    Excel on iOS can use only files it contains, or in Microsoft Reader.

    Once you download Excel, you will be asked to sign in to your account a player, and all of your files stored here will be available in Excel for iOS.

    A player and iCloud are quite different in their functionality.

  • is it possible to use the front panel without installing Labview?

    Hallo,

    I have two quick questions:

    1. is it possible to use the façade of a labview software without the need to install Labview itself? I mean something similar to the "power point viewer" that can display Power Point files without installing microsoft office.

    2. in a graphic intensity, how can you change the color?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    What you need to do is

    (1) turn off the interpolation color option

    2) click Add marker, which will add the marker where you want to add

    (3) then right click on the digital value for the marker, you created and you will see the tag, saying: "Color of the mark". Select the color you want.

    In one example, I created values 77 and 23 markers and their red and gray Cap. Hope this helps

  • What version of VxWorks operating system is used by the Module of Realtime LabVIEW 8.6

    I have in the past created VxWorks shared libraries for use with the Module of Realtime LabVIEW 8.2 and 8.5 and there are various required tools due to the change in versions of VxWorks by these two Versions of LabVIEW.

    For your information, I would be interested to know if changing to LabVIEw 8.6 Realtime Module will require still a new compilation, or if this version is always based on the same core VxWorks 6.3 and my shared lib would therefore simply continue to work?

    Hi Rolf,.

    Great news; VXwork version is still 6.3, so we have no problem with the migration to this version.  Please let me know if there is.
