Lightscribe?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have been recently working on CD burning in labview (using nero's command line in this case), but in an attempt to streamline things one step further, I was wondering if anyone has ever used a Lightscribe CD burner for putting the artwork on a CD?  I think this would be great for a low yield operation instead of using CD Labels or a specialized CD printer, but I am having issues finding something like a command line or activeX control for hooking into it.  

So has anyone done this, or even started to?

Hi Alexis

When I have trouble getting my hands of a easy way to hook into an application, I use AutoIT (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.php).

This is a script language that can be compiles into an Executable.

Then I run the exe-file from LabVIEW.

The AutoIT scripts are very flexible when it comes to automate GUI tasks.

I use it for automated tests of LabVIEW GUI applications.

Some features:

  • You could emulate mouse clicks and keyboard strokes.

  • Read write data from/to files

  • And also it's free!!

A script could look like this:

[font="Times New Roman"][size=3]Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("This is some text.")
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save")
Send("!n")[/size][/font]

I have also done my own LV-application that records the keyboard and mouse and generates an AutoIT script.

Cheers,

Mikael
