To use a USB Bluetooth device in LabVIEW, the device must use the Windows Bluetooth stack.

Does anyone know of an instrument driver for the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack?

That's funny. I'm using the Widcomm one. ;)

With the native LabVIEW functions? According to How Do I Make a Bluetooth Device Work with LabVIEW? only the Microsoft stack can be used.

Are you calling a DLL library?

I spent a lot of time trying to use Bluetooth functions from LabVIEW. My solution was not to use the built-in nodes, but to use CLNs to call the Windows API to accomplish functionality. Some functions are difficult to integrate because in a couple instances direct C-to-LabVIEW ported code would behavior differently. For some of my functionality, I ended up relying on a System Exec call to the compiled C code because I couldn't make LabVIEW behave.

What functionality are you looking for?

More stability than a Microsoft driver. :oops:

No direct calls to a dll. I use this http://lavag.org/fil...-opp-push-file/ with the widcomm. If you are having difficulties, then you could try this http://bluetoothinstaller.com/
