how to create interface for the tekscan bpms device with the labview

[sukumar]

I haven't got any reply from you so I am again giving a message to you. I want to know exactly what should I ask the vendor for details regarding the device. And I have read the Instrument Driver tutorial. I have got to know some thing but I am not surely getting what to ask them. Please tell me all the things that I need to ask them in detail. Thanks.

You need to ask about the transfer/endpoint type (bulk, interupt, control, isochronous), number of endpoints, the format and content of the data packets.

The examples you provided above was not supported by Labview 7.0. Can you please give examples that work in that version. Thanks.

[Dennis_Knutson]

I can't right now. In order to save them as 7.0, they have to be opened with 7.1 and I have not installed that on the new pc I just got. In a new thread, attach the files you want converted and ask if someone can convert them for you.

Hello. 

I have backsaved the 3 examples for you to LabVIEW 7.  Please look at these as Dennis suggested. 

Let us know if these help!

I have got the DAQ MX 6036E card with a device. I need to use it with labview. can u briefly explain me how to do it. Thanks.

Not understanding your question. Are you asking a general question as in how do I use a DAQ card, or is this something specific? If it's the former, you might want to start here. You can also look at this video. There's also lots of examples that ship with LabVIEW. Just make sure you have DaqMX installed.

thanks for the reply...ya i was looking for the thing that u provided me a link for. I just wanted to get the data acquisition first and then I will analyze if there anything wrong in my measurement. So, can u give me a step by step procedure of doing it(data acquisition) like building VI or building a block diagram. Hope u understood now. And I am using DAQ mx 6036E card. So, if u can guide me, it would be a great help. Thanks.

A step by step procedure can be found at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5434. Once you've gone through that, and if you have further questions, post them in a new thread. This is getting pretty far off topic from the original question. Also, try to provide some details. You said you need to learn DAQmx. There is analog input/output, digital input/output, etc. It's that kind of information that people need to provide some help.
