Hello there,

Could anyone help me or advice me how to control a Toshiba LCD using LABVIEW via PXI-6229? or any alternative NI HW is required?

Hi Walter,

have you read the datasheet for the display? It pretty much explains how to communicate to this device...

Hi GerdW,

Yes, I have read it but I dont really understand how to use PXI 6229 to control/sending characters to the Display. Would you mind to help me?

Thanks!

Walter.

Hi Walter,

your PXI6229 provides 48 digital I/O lines.

The datasheet of the LCD is talking about 8 datalines (D0-D7) and 8 address lines (a0-a7). Maybe you need some more additional lines (like RW) for the communication protocol - here it is up to you to read the manual...

You have to configure the used DIO lines as output and send the correct data according to the described protocol. I would use the 8 lines for data and address each as block of lines for easier writing of byte values.

Hi GredW

Thanks for your advice. Meantime, would you mind to explain in more details as below,

"I would use the 8 lines for data and address each as block of lines for easier writing of byte values."

each as block of lines means??

Many Thanks!
