Is there something like micro controller?

[khaledyr]

Hello,

is there any device like micro controller just burn my labview code on it and plug it out from the PC ?

Your question is not very clear. Perhaps you're looking for something here: http://www.ni.com/embedded/

not for the cost of a PIC.  The embedded module is probably the closeset but this debends on what you are trying to accomplish.  yo can also look at the labview toolkit for the leco NXT brick.

OK to be more clear now I have DAQ 6008 which have to be plug in to the PC all the time I want to run my project,

on the other hand I want another device that I can just download my labview program on it just one time then I can run my project without plug in this device again to the PC.

So you want to make something like a PLC, that you can program in LabVIEW?

Yes you can say that, I want a device like PL but not complicated like it,device for small projects and is there a NI PLC ?

Thats more of NI PAC not really a microcontroller.  There is the cFP or cRIO both have the ability to download and run your standalone RT code form labview but I assumed you were looking for a simple microcontroller solution.

Khaledyr,

I might be going way off topic here , so please forgive me if I am. I have been wondering lately , do some times people force an application or idea/ project to run on LabVIEW  just to "run it on LabVIEW"?  I have a USB-6008 also, and you can do some pretty cool things with it combined with LabVIEW and tethered to your PC.  But you can do some crazy cool things on a Micro with a bunch of I/O , counter timers, multi PWM engines, multi ADC inputs, comparators, watch dogs and other "stuffs" all for around 3 BUCKS! Add a few motors and some sensors, cut out a piece of PVC and it zooms around the room. OK, sorry I got carried away, on a more professional example, if you just need to make a few ADC measurments, send out some digital signals and maybe display the results on an LCD in a test fixture for example, this is so easy to do with out any computer or LabVIEW involved at all.  And it is CHEAP.  I hope I did not get to far off of what you were thinking about.

Alan,

I did many projects with labview, I did fire fighting robot and smart house using voice recognition and image processing using labview and 6008.

In the smart house project it was a pattern from wood which I controlled now I want to do the same project on a real house so there is no sense that every time I will buy anew PC to make this project in new house that's why I want something I can download my code on it and it will work alone with no need to PC.

Have you thought about maybe dedicating a Netbook or something similarly "cheap" that could run the LabVIEW RT code and not need  LabVIEW installed? Then just deem the netbook as part of your project and not a computer at all.  Then when you change your LabVIEW code you just port it over to the netbook/home automation project.  Then again , maybe I am off base in this thinking.

I bet it was tough doing the Voice and Image processing on a DAQ with a 10Khz input limit.  I thought you needed to sample Voice at 8 times the signal rate. Did you use some tricks? (sorry now I am off topic) Just wondering.
