New to LabVIEW, just a few questions with exporting.

[tbz709]

Hello people, I am new to labVIEW program, we have access to it in school but we kind of got to learn it on our own time but we had a few question before we started to make a project with it.

Can we use it to export a text and voice message on a phone? Would it require us using or developing another app? (like, ie. Whats App? or "textME")
Can we embed c++ code in with the labVIEW script? (I haven't even read the help section yet and I currently don't have access to my computer at school to play with it)
Any useful toolkits for signal processing? I know the biomedical one exist but we have been told that because of the changes ciricling around my program its an after thought for right now. Apparently we have the software but not the hardware. (If that makes sense?)

Also any useful tutorials? I have been checking out youtube and stuff but still a little fuzzy on some things

Thanks!

Hi there,

I suggest you start here: http://www.ni.com/academic/students/learn-labview/

Wow lots of questions.  Well lets start with some free training.

NI Learning Center

NI Getting Started

-Hardware Basics

-LabVEW Basics

-DAQ Application Tutorials

3 Hour LabVIEW Introduction

6 Hour LabVIEW Introduction
Self Paced training for students
Self Paced training beginner to advanced, SSP Required
LabVIEW Wiki on Training

Keep in mind that many people make LabVIEW development a career.  They spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 20 years developing, and they still don't know everything.  But don't get too discouraged because awesome developers like these hangout on these forums and are glad to help.

LabVIEW is a full real programming language.  Reading and writing text files is quite easy to do.  The File IO palette has a read and write spreadsheet file that works for many simple cases.  LabVIEW ships with many examples, launch it by going to Help >> Example Finder.  You will want to use a 3rd party tool for texting and voice mails.  An easier method of texting is to email the carrier.  LabVIEW has a few examples on email and there are a few on the forums just search.  LabVIEW can call various other languages, and built DLL easily, again there are examples on this, or search the web.

You should be able to send and receive text messages, here is an example on sending SMS using SMTP https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24116 since this are SMS I don't think you would need to develop an Android app. 

In this community thread you can find a tutorial on how to include C functions into a VI using DLLs and also C++ code. https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/1270

This is a good Siganl processing toolkit: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209055

As for tutorials, you could use what tyk007 and Hooovah posted, or you talk to your school and get Core 1 and Core 2 courses, or other NI courses you need.
