database

[Frida]

Hi,

I am a new user, so I am sure my application isn't very difficult really.

I want to collect data through the serial communication, temperature data from a sensor. The data should be presented but also saved to a database. I would like the database to save all the information, from different times, vith different sensors. For example, I have a sensor "A" today where I make two different aqusitions, these two should be saved in the database (differentiated by date and time maybe). But last week did I have a sensor B, where I made just one aqusition. i should be able to find this one in the database and show the results again.

I should be able to add and delete sensors, but also to delete specific aqusitions that I have made.

Any suggestions? I have looked in an old similar program (written in Labview 5.1), they use SQL and a "connect.vi". Is this still the best solution, or is it possible to use VISA or something else?

I appriciate all the help I can get!

Thank you in advance!

Connecting from LabVIEW to a database is not a trivial task - not hard but not easy either.

If the current program has VIs that communicate to the database

then by all means use it.

You won't be able to use VISA to write/retrieve data from a database.
