Mac Address and CVI plus MySQL

[cblog16]

Hello All, first time here in the community, and first time to use the Labwindows.

My employer wants wants me to create a program in CVI that will  fetch a MAC address from a range stored in excel sheet, load it to a device under test, verify if MAC address is loaded then generate a new random number to link to the MAC address, so that when other user inquire about the random number we wll know what is the MAC address of the device.

I am a new to this, so an example program is highly appreciated.

hi cblog16,

For the first part of your program, a good starting point would be the CVI excel  examples.  To access them, navigate to help»find examples, then search for excel in the example finder.  This code demonstrates how to read and write data to/from an excel sheet.As for loading the mac address, you would have to use functions made specifically for your device, which you would then call within your code.  Let me know if you have any other questions!
