NI Biomedical Startup Kit Source Codes Supports LabVIEW 2010 now!

Hi All NI Biomedical Startup Kit Source Code Users,

Please redownload the source codes installer if you want to use the source codes on the latest LabVIEW 2010. Now the installer supports LabVIEW 2010.

Thanks!

Great news.  As soon as I get my new win7\64-bit machine and install LabVIEW 2010, I will give this a try.  I did buy the adaptive filter toolkit.  You still may want to consider a build without this toolkit being necessary (although I need to try the toolkit for other reasons), and of course the 64-bit version I am hoping for.

Sincerely,

Don

Hi Don,

Thanks. I remember you only want to use the 3D Image Reconstructor in 64bit? If yes, after you install the startup kit in 32bit, you could directly open the 3D Image Reconstructor in LabVIEW 64bit, I think it works.

Hi ZJ:

I am not 100% clear on this. I need the source code version. I will probably have two versions of my application code, one that uses the NI 32-bit versions of products and one that uses the NI 64-bit versions (LabVIEW, Vision toolkit, ASP toolkit have both 32- and 64-bit versions).  Will the 3d image reconstructor souce code be exposed when I open 64-bit labview, if it is a 32-bit version?  Don't you have to make a 64-bit version just like you did for the ASP toolkit?

Sincerely,

Don

Hi Don,

Yes. I will consider to create a installer or add a part in the current installer to support 64bit.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello ZJ -

I have installed the toolkit, v3.01.

1)  For image viewing, is it only possible to open a dicom image?  If so, another idea would be to create a file converter function so one could take a conventional 2d array and convert it to dicom format.

2) Once you do this, including an example VI like you have done for the 'File Load Example' for signals would be good.  Including how one would assemble the array of images needed for the volume rendering.

3) I see this statement in the readme: "Refer to the NI Biomedical Startup Kit Help by clicking the Help button on the main menu of each application, for information about using the Biomedical Startup Kit."     I personally could not find the Help for the functions or on the LabVIEW help menu.   Please advise.

4) More examples in general would be great.

Thanks,

Don

ps. I also want to say I have written quite a few file format translators to get data into NDF format for my NDE Wave and Image Processor software.   If I have the current DICOM file format, I can probably develop a translator for this. I have not looked at the DICOM format yet.

With respect to 1), I do now see that:

http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12784

provides some example for loading the dicom image series and volume rendering.

Hi Don,

Thanks for your suggestions! For your questions, yes, now only support reading data from DICOM. Exporting DICOM is under construction. In terms of “help” button, that is regarding those applications. For each application, there is a button "help" on the bottom right corner.

Thanks!

Hi Zhijun,

Could you post the link to download the lastest source code version of the biomedical startup kit? Thanks.
