Is LabVIEW available for Android based systems and other touch interface systems.If not how about using LabVIEW for mobile measurements using these systems.
My company is thinking about changing the laptops that our techs use in the field for tablets. I would have to develop custom android apps for them. I currently use Labview for all of our development. Having a way to run labview exes as android apps would be great!
I would love to see LabVIEW support Android natively, but until then the Data Dashboard will at least let you design your application on a host but then view the data on Android (or iOS) in the field.
I understand that Measurement Computing is now attaching USB DAQs to Android Tablets to display thermocouple output. It utilizes Android’s native Java USB API directly.
I agree with odessy27, I want an iOS app that runs executables that I program and upload to my phone. Seems to me, that we need a development toolkit that accesses the iPhone instruments like accelerometer, GPS, Bluetooth, barameter, etc. Then you could create custom apps for myself. Alternatively, I could create remote monitors for a big system controlling a facility. Let's say I need to walk 200 feet to get to a SOV valve, and I want to open/close it while I'm standing there to adjust the actuation speed. A remote controller would be handy. Or, I'm running an all night thermal cyclic fatigue test. I would like my phone to alert me if the temperature exceeds 600 F. It would need to wake me up so I could decide if I needed to call the fire department... I could keep going, but you get the idea.
No. A .vi file by itself is not an executable. You need an execution engine to run them. NI has not done anything to create such a system for Android OS (nor for iOS, for that matter). We have been developing Web VIs that are HTML5 pages to run in the mobile browsers. Those were demoed in an early-access-release at NIWeek in May of this year. They might be fully released in May 2018... I say "might" because I never promise future functionality for sure (in case schedules slip), and especially I don't make promises for other software teams... they might start making customer promises on *my* behalf! 🙂
