is there any list of sensors' vi(s) already exist in Labview?

[dvdtech]

Hello,

I'm looking for a list of sensors' vi that Labview Robotics already have built in (I mean that I get it with Labview and I don't need to buy it separately) or vi that I can download and use for free .

I tried to find it around the forum and googled it, I also tried to find it inside the Labview itself but without any success.

How can I find sensors' vi-s ?

Thank you very much.

is someone knows? 

help plz

thanks

What is a "sensors vi"???  It might be better to explain what you're trying to do so we don't have to guess.

It's also quite rude to bump a thread after only a few hours of not getting an answer.  We are all volunteering to help others and asking for help while people are hard at work, or sleeping, is a valid reason to not get a response right away.

ok, sorry, i thought that its clear.

i'm a student and i'm doing a project with the robot in that link: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/10464/en/

i want to add sensors to the robot, like accelerometer or gyro, so i can improve the robot's responses.

my superviser have some sensors and he asked me to look if there are some already-made vi in LabView Robotics that i will be able to use with those sensors.

(he asked me to give him a list of those vi so he will look if he have those sensors)

i hope that it's more clear now.

my question is: is there any vi that i can use with sensors?

thank you

Your question is hard to answer.  If I asked what cups fit into my cup holder of my car what would you say?  Would you list each and ever cup in the world? or would you list the dimensions of my cup and say all cups that fit in there are supported?

Similarly you can take in signals using various DAQ hardware, but you wouldn't list all sensors, instead say you can read any sensor that outputs 0-10V or 4-20mA.  

I've worked little with the robotics tools so I don't know how helpful this is, but I suspect you won't find premade VIs for specific sensors, instead you'll find VIs for taking measurements and then it is your job to make them into engineering units that can be understood.

Do you have the Robotics Module downloaded? If you do you can peruse the palletes to see what is supported. Here.

GovBob:

thank you.

i looked in your link and i found some details about VIs, but none about VIs that related to a specific sensor.

and yes, im using tje robotic module

i thinks like you, but thats what my superviser told me to do, i thought that he knows what he is doing.

I wouldn't rely on that. Better think by yourself and find out what a good approach to the task is.

i agree, but that way or another, i still didn't find any VIs related to a specific sensor
