measurments using lab view

measurments using lab view

(OP)
I need an  automated way for making measurments  via the serial port using labview, mu procedure is I have a serial port controoleed microcontroller , and I am using this microcontoller in a moving platform .
The platform is to move every certian distance , then stop and send a signal to the serial port of the computer , then the computer will do some measurments( using LABVIEW) then after that LABVIEW will send a signal from the seriaL PORT OF THE COMPUTER , IS THIS DOABLE , AND CAN I IMPLEMENT THIS , PLZ HELP ME IT IS URGENT

RE: measurments using lab view

Yes, it appears on the surface readily doable in LabView.
Look for serial port examples under help in LV. You can monitor incoming messages on the port. When the appropriate meassgae has been recieved, LV can execute the measurements, and then send a message out the port.

Suggest that you test serial port parameters and cabling with the microcontroller in Hyperterminal first. This will verify the baud rate, stop bits, etc and electrical connections.

DW,

Labview's serial port control changed significantly from version 6 to 7 (mostly for the better if you know serial ports).  Make sure the examples you try are compatible with your version of LabView otherwise you can waste a lot of time.
