  1. Hi all,

    I am having a strange problem on more than one machine. I am finding that the visa name mapped to com ports can sometimes be inconsinstent with the com port number. Has anyone else noticed this? This seems to be happening for COM13 only. Ie COM1 is assigned ASRL1, COM2 assigned ASRL2 until COM13 which in one case was assigned ASRL14 and in another ASRL21. is ASRL13 reserved for some reason?

  2. Use a copy of the property node (with Instr on top) that you already have in your block diagram. You can find Timeout value under general settings. Make sure the property is set to write.

    You mean timeout option at serial VISA block. can I increse directly the value of timeout terminal at serial VISA block. I don't know how to do that with property node.

  3. Hi,

    Writing hex codes to serial is the easy bit. What is not clear is how you can send the stop bits and start bit and acknowledge bit. You need to dig out more information first about what those bits are and how they are handled. A hex bite has 8 bits in it so there is not real "hex" code for a stop bit. it must be another bite flag or something that could be driven on another line. have you got any more examples?

    Hi,

    I just want to write a packet to the serial port in hex format . Right now i am writing only command code(88) which is in hex but now i want extend this command to following format (see Pic). Now i need to write command in the given manner . Some one help me how i can do like that. I need to write in hex format but for first bit S, how can i write in hex. Please some one can give me any example. the red circle contains real packet structure used by some other people. the same in i am doing in labview.

  4. Of course this only works if you have the clusters put into another larger cluster so you can get them to act like your arrays. If you just put the cluster into the array then changing the cluster background will change all the items in the array not just the one you want.

    Good idea to modify the background cluster color.

    Thanks

  5. You can also use a mouse down event and interrogate that way.

    Hello there,

    I have an array of clusters, 3 numeric controls per cluster.

    I'd like the user to be able to click in one of the numeric controls in one array element then right click and from a context menu choose 'set'. The contents of the active cell will then be replaced with a value I choose.

    - Is it possible to find which item in the cluster in which element of the array has focus, ie has the cursor flashing in it?

    Thank you for any tips,

    Martin

    Ahh, just realised it is straight forward - using the ArrElem.Value which is a variant and then using VariantToData to set it to the datatype of my cluster. Bingo.

    Thanks,

    Martin

  6. Hi I thought i might have a go at this:

    you cannot change the selection color programmatically as you have noticed but you might cheat :yes: . Have a look at the example I have attached. I have created a "emulated array" that behaves like your real array (which you can then hide) but one that allows you to change the background color according to your selection.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi

    Is there a way to modify the native array selection color ? I have try with property node and look in Labview.ini file if there is parameter , but without succes.

  7. I use the Iphone app for dropbox but I wish it would allow for multiple selection uploads :unsure:

    p

    There's also a simple iPhone/iPod app to view your DropBox. :thumbup1:

    I has posted last year asking if anyone had experience with DropBox's underlying system; Amzon's S3. I think a form of DropBox would be great as a repository for test results.

    Our current solution uses private hosting and a transfer app to upload and store XML data via web based protocols. We don't have to store the data in house, or punch a hole or set up a VPN in our CM's network to transfer data. The product we use is SigmaQuest, which was recently purchased by Camstar. It is much more than a repository for test data, but thats our primary use.

    SigmaQuest is a little rough around the edges, but it seems to be geared more towards high volume processing. We are more of a lower volume/high mix manufacturer and need debug and repair functions that are present (with our help) but a bit buggy and lacking in report features.

    I think it would be great if there was a form of DropBox that could replicate an ATEs test reports folder to a common DropBox folder without copying it back to every other ATE. Some web guys with statistics experience could write an Amazon hosted app that would process and perform calculations like first pass yield and average times.

  8. You can't exactly create a LV driver, but you can use NI-VISA as the driver for a USB device, and then use VISA functions in LV to send USB-RAW communication to the endpoints. This would allow (very) low-level control of the device from LV, even though LV isn't technically the driver.

    Search VISA and USB-RAW for more info or see here or here to start.

    Thanks for that Jarrod

  9. Assuming you mean a traditional Windows driver, you can't.

    You'll nee to use the Windows Device Development Kit and it uses some version of Visual Studio and write it C or C++, I forget which.

    On the other hand, if you make it with a USB interface and HID compliant you won't need to make a device driver. Windows (and just about every other modern OS) will recognize it and use a built in driver for it.

    There are many microcontroller products/projects out there that ship with a USB interface and HID compliant stack.

    Thanks. That would mean I would have to first program the output of the device according to some mouse standards for generic USB interface.

  10. Hi I know its been a long time since this thread was active but wanted to know if you managed to get both cameras working using activex in the end?

    Cheers

    Now I'm going to use ActiveX control.

    Hopefully this method will works well in my works.

    Yet, I'm still thinking is there a way to solve the situation (just for my curiosity). :P
