Where can I down load Labview mobile module 8.6 for Labview 8.6?

[ramonsiow]

Hi guys,

We need to download the mobile module 8.6 for our project, we need this module to send an alert SMS to a Windows Mobile 6.1.

But what we get from the NI site is only the mobile module for Labview 2009 and we cannot install it on the notebook which already installed the LabVIEW 8.6.

Can anyone give us the link to download the Labview mobile module 8.6 evalution ?

Thanks and Best Regards

I would presume you contact Ni and they'll provide you with it.

Not for free though.

You can have LV 8.6 and 2009 installed on the same computer. So if this short project. Why not download both Labview 2009, and the mobile module in 2009 version. And use the 30 days eval option

Hi

Thanks guys,we managed to get the mobile module 8.6 amnd installed it on out notebook.

As we just get into LabVIEW programming for just 2 months, and now we decided to improvised a SMS alert system into our project.

So is it possible to use mobile module to send out SMS to our windows mobile 6.1? without using any modem and cabling? we are searching for instruction manual on how to configure our mobile phone to connect with the labview program and notebook.

Thanks so much for your helps. 🙂

The Mobile Module is not to allow your host LabVIEW program to connect to your mobile phone, but to build from your LabVIEW program an executable that can be downloaded and installed onto the mobile phone (provided it runs the correct Windows Mobile version). The Windows Mobile Module palette does contain VIs to control certain mobile platform specific aspects directly (dialing a number and I believe also sending an SMS) but that is restricted to the application that you build and install onto the phone.

If  you want to write a host application that does send an SMS you have to have either a mobile phone or GSM modem with VISA supported communication interface (RS-232 or virtual RS-232 through USB)  or some other SMS gateway communication channel. In the first case you typically send AT commands through the serial port and in the second case you use whatever gateway protocol is used (often TCP/IP or HTTP based protocol).

Hi,

Now we used the labview mobile module 8.6 to run a SMS sending application on a windows mobile phone. But we can only send the SMS only on the windows mobile itself.

But our target is to simulate a faulty alarm system, when the alarm system had been activated (or we call it condition TRUE) then the program will force to send out a alerting SMS.

How can we program to control the SMS application which run on the windows mobile? because now the SMS application only work on the mobile phone after deployed the program to the mobile phone, and we cant control it from the notebook.

Anyone can help on this problem?

Thanks so much for your helps.

As far as I know the Windows Mobile link interface (ActiveSync) doesn't support sending SMS messages from the host through the mobile phone, so there is probably no direct way to do what you want to do. Generally if we have to send SMS from a host system we employ a specific GSM modem (Wavecom or Maestro), which is technically the mobile phone hardware but without a speaker and microphone but instead a serial interface that can be programmed using so called Hayes AT commands. Alternatively some mobile phones support a similar serial communication interface through their host interface (usually USB which installs itself as virtual serial port) such as earlier Siemens mobile phone but also others.

Another option might be to install an application on the mobile phone that does the SMS sending and communicate from your host app through the networking interface provided by ActiveSync to this application.

Hi,

Now we had already created a mobile project with labview mobile module 8.6. After active sync the windows mobile phone with the notebook, and then we "Run" the mobile project in the laptop and the VI is appeared in the mobile phone, but after that we can only used the VI that appear in the windows mobile to send out SMS.

Any way we can control the VI in the mobile phone to send out SMS from the laptop? Because our objective is to send out the alert SMS only when the alarm system is activated.

Is the windows mobile now act as a GSM modem for the labview? or its just because of the labview SMS client?

Thhanks for all your help.

No, handy is now separate system, not laptop's modem.

If you wish to send sms from laptop directly, use AT command, but in this case, you could try triggering handy from laptop using shared variable.
