bluetooth LTE

[barddya]

Does anyone know if Labview 2013 bluetooth VIs will support bluetooth LTE?

HI Barddya,

LabVIEW uses RFCOMM, a protocol in the Winsock interface: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/using-labview-with-wireless-devices.html#d43266e13...

In short if windows has a driver for the bluetooth version you want, LabVIEW can use it. Are you interested in Bluetooth 4.0?

Thank you for the info, and yes I am very interested in Bluetooth LE

Hi, I'm also interested in connect labview with a Bluetooth 4.0 device.

I can create a functional connection between my laptop and the 4.0 device (TI sensortag).

However, if I try to make the connection through labview I'm not able to discover the 4.0 device, only the old bluetooth devices.

How is it possible? If my computer can do the connection, why labview cannot find the device?

Currently, LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs do not support Bluetooth 4.0.  Please feel free to reinforce the suggestions already made on our LabVIEW Idea exchange:

As an alternative, you can find Bluetooth 4.0 DLLs through microsoft and you can subsequently wrap those DLLs in LabVIEW code:
