Driver implementation into PID manuel-Auto Temp Control Example vi

[becidea]

There is PID manuel-Auto Temp Control Example vi in PID tool kit. I want to use this in my system implementing of my driver. Lakeshore 336 temp. control. Please advice me how to put drivers, what to do to use this tool kit with instrument. I need direction like, change this with this, delete this and add this...

thanks in advance....

If you're not sure where to start, you may want to take an introductory class or work through LabVIEW tutorials until you understand the basics.  Then try to write the code to do what you want, and if you run into problems at that point, post your code here along with an explanation of the error or problem you're seeing.  You are unlikely to find someone on this forum who can give you specific directions with the limited amount of information you provided, and you are more likely to receive help on this forum if you demonstrate that you've made an effort on your own.

Hey becidea,

I am including a PID Control Tutorial. This can help you get started. The other thing you have to worry about is your device drivers. Once you install your instruments driver, make sure you put it inside the instr.lib.

You get to it by going to Program Files » National Instruments » LabVIEW » instr.lib

This will let it show up on your palette and/or allow you to interface with LabVIEW.

Please follow previous advice as well, because there are many highly experienced users on the forums who can assist you.

hi

i think that the Lakeshore 336 has already a PID so you can use that one. You will need to download the driver for the instrument : search here http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/

Dear all,

thanks for advices. PID tutorials help me alot. yeap, 336 has already PID control itself.I downloded and installed inst.lib already and it works. The problem is my vi. I want my vi like PID tool kit vi. I mean very nice control. I am not sure that I made nice. It works, but response time, wuality, noise, and so on. If someone can interests, I can send my vi to be checked and make comment on it.

I started to study LV in 2003. At that time I didn't know English (I am Turkish) so I couldn't find any source in my language. I tried to learn by myself following vi's. Then I left it and started working 3 weeks ago. So, I am beginner, but I could write my own high temperature controller.:))

But I would like be adviced in any case from experienced people like you.  Thanks in advance...
