VI for DAQ with HBM Spider 8

[Scharnhorst]

Does maby someone have the VI for DAQ in LabWIEV 7.1 with HBM Spider 8 based on the NI drivers? I will be very glad if someone could send me the VI on my e-mail. It will be very helpful for me in the creation of my own VI because I am beginer...

You can find Spider 8 VI's on the HBM website  but, once installed I get an error

I used LV 8.5, I think you will have the same problem with 7.1

If you can "upgrade" them from that early LV version I'm also interested

Why not using Catman Easy from HBM ??

Did you mean that, under the Spider 8 VI on the HBM site? http://www.hbm.com/de/menu/produkte/messelektroniken/universelle-systeme-fuer-die-messdatenerfassung...

I have installed that examples and they work on my system, but they are insufficient for me for further development of the Spider 8 VI that I need to aquire the data from all 16 channels (2 Spider 8). I need the VI on which base I could learn and develop my own VI for DAQ vith 2 Spider 8.

Now I use Catman Easy, but it doesn't sattisfy me because I need more complex online postprocessing when I measure.

You can download 6 items from that page!

I downloaded "LabVIEW Driver for Spider 8 | Version 2.2 | 10/02/2000", the first one in the list of six, and that generated errors since those VI's can't be converted to LV 8 due to very old LV version.

So, what did you install that work under LV7.1?

I don't know if this way of working is suitable for your application, but I did mine as follow.

I let Catman Easy generate data files every x minutes. You can compare the file with the buffer in a continuous buffered acquisition .

The LV application checks the folder continuously and when it detects a new Catman data file, it reads and processes the data from that file.
