I have the same problem that the guy above! Does anyone had some sort of experience of SPI tranmission using Labview On FTDI chips?

Guys please forget my previous post. Now i've put a simulate wave ( like I would receivef from a instrument) My problem is : with the circular buffer the data still come too fast it's too "polluted" its dificult to distinguish,in this case my sinal is a simulated 180 V . But in fact when the "real data" ( from a enviroment , for eg a socket) comes , i woul be able to see anything , because my voltage is variant. I would like to see the wave in a way I could see its amplitude in a visible way.. Thanks .

JGcode Thanks for the answer again you saving a new in Labview. I wasn't understanding the miss of wires. As a last question when my device runs, sometimes it' reads the buffer when it's still empty. I've tried to put a wait function but the problem it's exists .At last I 've connect the read part after the write part and put a loop in both. But when i run my project the graph doesnt display anything. Seeing in highlight mode only #0 comes to my graph . Anyone know why? Like I said before the incoming data is not done yet so i've invented a loop to only imagine a data coming from , only to see if the project works Thanks circular buffer.vi

JGcode Thanks for the answer . ABout the code correct if I'm doing something wrong . I've made 3 parts. the inicialize part, the write part and the read part into a graph. My doubt is these 3 parts are ok? Do I need to link the same data in for all the 3 parts? Because in the same the autor omit some links in his images. So I dont know if I have to wire these components or not. In my case my data in is coming via a USB device but my partner is responsable for the incoming data. I need to do the buffer. This example woul fit in that case? The data in is a string type. Thank you.

I need to design a circular buffer for my purpose, which consists in : My data comes from a DSP ( microprocessor) it's sending signals serially to a MAX3420E ( converts serial-usb) which converts it's to a signal tranmitted via USB port. I want LABVIEW to read the signals in te USB port and plot the signals (wave) in a chart. But the data come to fast, so I want so make a circular buffer to put a part of the wave in the chart every seconds, if I don't to this she signal is 60 hz so would be impossible to distinguish the wave I'm very new in labview so searching in the net I found this video which is very good but the sub VI it's a black box and I don't know what's inside. I also found this article in NI http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7188 but its this too hard for me too understand . Someone knows a simple way? Thanks .

Yeah I know, but I thought the sites works independently. Sorry it wasn't my intention to mess up if the organization of the forums. I just thought that i could receive a faster aswer just that. Sorry, I will delete the topic in NI. Anyway would you know what can I do? I thought in this circular buffer http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5883.

Phillip I didn't get it. Can't I put the same topic here an there??

Hello guys, first off all i' dont know if this forum it's the right place to solve my problem if it's not i'm sorry. A DSP ( microprocessor) it's sending signals serially to a MAX3420E ( converts serial-usb) which converts it's to a signal tranmitted via USB port. I want LABVIEW to read the signals in te USB port and plot the signals (wave) in a chart. But the data come to fast, so I want so make a buffer to put a part of the wave in the chart every seconds, if I don't to this she signal is 60 hz so would be impossible to distinguish the wave. How will I be able to do this? I read somewhere a example of this using the VI's Analog Input, AI Config, AI Start, AI Read e AI Clear but I think this VI's are only valid using the NI hardware, but i don't have any of them.. What can I do to solve my problems? TY.

Guys Thanks for all the answers. I've managed to convet the signall.

Jon How can I use type cast in this case?

Aquisição 16 bits with error.viAquisição 16 bits sem case.viTG and CROSS thanks for the help. I'm very new and labview so i'm having my dificulties. I'm ataching to of my VI's first of them uses only one part of the Cross Rulz diagram. But if I use teh full of Cross Rulz diagram it doeesnt work because the type of data is diferente. Look. It seem to be a very easy thing to do and I'm complicating it. If you may help me. What I'm doing wrong? Aquisição 16 bits sem case.vi Thank you guys.

Thanks for the answer Croos rulzs, but i how i will I able to "save my first incoming 8 bits from serial port . My full problem is that a DSP is sending a 16 bit data information ( its send fist the MSB to the LSB), but i'm using a serial port which transfer 8 bits at time. How will I be able to save the first 8 bits ( first part of data) and after that join this number with the second part of data , using the function JOIN NUMBERS which you spoke of.. Thanks.

Hello i'm having a very basic doubt. I have a data to send in a 16bits size but like i' m sending it via serial port, so i can only transfer 8 bit each time. How can I concatenate these 2 parts of 8 bits and plot them in a chart? Is there a function that do this for me? Thanks .

Ton First the DSP was emulating a serial port, so i was able to get the data. But in serial comunications i would not be able to get the speed transfer rate that i would like for plot the data in real time. SO the DSP its transfering the data for a MAX3420(USB peripheral controller chip) so the data the labview reads its the data the max3420 sends( USB). Searching i got this http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4478 a document thata teaches how to make my own driver .. After this can i use the visa functions?

Hello, i new in LAVA, and i would like some help. My name is Leonardo and my problem is that i want to adquire signals ( signals in the case are some waveforms from a DSP) . The DSP is sending in information via a usb port. And i don't have the hardware like usb 6008 ( from NI). My question is: how can I adquire these signals? DO existe some VIs to do this?I know that via serial port there VISA blocks to do this. Via USB is there some of these blocks? Thanks .
