Display FieldPoint Channel Attributes in Labview

[UWehm]

Hello,

I´d like to display the channel names of the FieldPoint Modules in LabView like they are called in Measurement and Automation Explorer 4.1. I am using a FP 1601 Bank with nine Modules and LabVIEW 7.1. I tried to use the " FP get configuration info.vi" and i got some informations, but i´d like to use the FieldPoint I/O as data input like it is at the "FP Read.vi". I can see the values of the channels, but I am missing the names.

The very next step is to display the units of the channels, which also defined in the MAX. Is there a example for reading FP with LabVIEW , including the channel names?

Thanks for all.

Yours

Hello Urs,

there are no VIs or Property Nodes to get this information.
Maybe you can use the "Configure Attribute.vi".
With this VI you can enable programmatic configuration of FieldPoint channel attributes.
You can not read this attributes but you can set them. If you set the attributes in LabVIEW you know them.

Best regards,

Hello WolfgangZ,

I´ve found a way to read the channel names from FieldPoint IO by splitting the String into input string for the "FP Configuration Info.vi".

I am still looking for the channel units. I´ll try your VI.

Thanks and best regards,

Urs
