Get input in LabView from IMU

[Rap_Master_T]

Hello every one,

I'm working on a project involving kinect and IMU (3D sensor). I'm working with YEI technologies IMU- model RS232. For some reason, I can't get any input from the IMU. I already downloaded the NI-VISA but still no luck. Does any one know what can be the problem? And is there a simple VI already exists that gets input from this type from IMU just to make sure that LabView can recognize the input from this specific IMU?

Thanks,

Rap Master,

You will likely require a special driver for the IMU from YEI technologies.  Unforunately, YEI doesn't appear to have created a LabVIEW driver for their hardware as of yet.  (For available drivers, take a look at IDNet http://www.ni.com/downloads/idnet/ ).  Your best bet would be to contact YEI directly to see if they have any basic LabVIEW code available, otherwise writing the driver yourself is an option if they provided a good manual to use for reference (you would need a list of VISA commands or the API for the hardware).

Regards,
