ValueCAN and or NEOVI

[Chris1205]

Hello All

I am new to LabView, however I am capable to leaning to use it. Currently I have ValueCAN and NeoVI Fire, I did read somewhere you can use ValueCAN using NEOIV to be used with labview. I have all the drivers install for both, but I do not know how to link ValueCAN with labview. 

Can someone please point me in the right direction? 

Best regards

Chris

This example works with the Fire or ValueCAN.

It is basically a DLL driver that lets you read and write frames in only software timed writes.  The DLL is relativly well documented but I've had issues with it when trying to use it with LIN.  I'd highly recommend using an NI XNet device.  Depending on your requirements you may have hard time using it.

You don't have to put it anywhere special.  Just open it and open the top level VI in it which is the example VI.  I don't believe there is a palette made for this.

When I try to open the top level VI I get messag saying "LabVIEW version is later than the current LabVIEW version. An error occurred loading VI forumate message write.vi. LabVIEW load error coad9. VI version(9.0) is newer thatn LabVIEW version (8.0)." after pressing "OK" button nothing happens

Well I think the error really says all that needs to be said.  You can ask the version conversion board to convert the VIs but there maybe compatibility issues where newer features were used and back saving may give issues.  Still 8.0 isn't even supported in Vista, are you using XP?  I wouldn't suggest any new software development in 8.0.  Oh and my comment about XNet may not be valid since XNet 1.0 only supports 8.5, 8.6, and 2009.

I was able to get a newer version of Labview with version 14. With that I was able to open up file you recommend. I'll report back when I am able to communicate to my device with Labview.
