Bluetooth connectivity for PXIe-1071, PXIe-8133

[PKP]

Hi, There are about 24 numbers of NI PXIe-1071 chassis with PXIe-8133 controllers in our lab. I would like to interface a Bluetooth device (EEG and ECG monitors) with the DAQ. The DAQs are running Windows 7 and LabVIEW.

How would you suggest I connect the Bluetooth devices to the DAQs?

If I buy Bluetooth dongles that fit via the USB is that a good solution?

Thanks.

Hi PKP,

Since your controllers are running Windows 7, they function just as a normal computer would; therefore the USB ports would behave just as a desktop would. You could load the drivers onto the controller and collect data from the bluetooth device that way. Do you have software to read the EEG and ECG signals into LabVIEW?

Best,

Thanks, Tannerite, for the reply. I really appreciate your answer.

Yes, the EEG and ECG devices come with drivers and an API for Windows. So, we should be able to figure out how to interface that with LabVIEW.

Best regards,

PKP,

Awesome! Since there is an API for you device, that will make it easier to port into LabVIEW. Best of luck!

Warm regards,
