Can Labview be used for programming of Texas Instruments MSP430 microcontroller for Sensor applications?

[swaj]

i want to ask that how can i configure msp430-rf2500 after installing drivers from visa(device wizard). i m not getting the data coming from the msp430-rf2500 where as i m getting that data in the hyper terminal.Plz guide me!

Hi,

If you are able to read data in hyperterminal then you will be able to read it in LabVIEW. Have you looked at the basic serial read and write VI in the examples? If not, that would be a good starting point.

Make sure that you have the correct baud rate, COM port etc.

Also, LabVIEW won't be able to use the COM port whilst it is being used by hyperterminal - you need to close hyperterminal and then use LabVIEW.

If you've tried all of these, post your code so that we can help you further

thnx for your advice, i got the data and plz guide me that how can i log that data in labview or make its graph and then log the graph of that data.

plz tell me how to convert string data to bits or bytes.

regards

Hi number,

                 It's very simple.See one example:.Also have a look at conversions in string/number in function palette.

hi plz help me in logging data of the sensors in labview

[ChrissyC]

Hi,

You can log your data in a number of formats. Using the write to spreadsheet file would be good for numerical data that you want to graph.

Data logging is pretty basic LabVIEW stuff - perhaps you should take a look at the LabVIEW basics, there's a section dedicated to data logging. Also have a look around the forums (use the search facility) for some more pointers etc.

plz tell me how can i draw real time graphs in labview for the data received from the sensors.

You really need to look at the LabVIEW basics. These are very basic questions you are asking and a bit of time spent learning the fundamentals will really pay off.

Read the basics and had a go at plotting a graph yourself. If you hit any other problems we'll be happy to help, but I'm not going to write this for you - you need to put in the effort yourself.
