XSENS MTi 30

Were the issues you had with rs232 due to the LabVIEW driver?  What do you mean you involved LabVIEW in this issue?

If you want the current version then send me a private message with your email address and I will get it over to you.

Hello Lewis,

Issues could not be traced down to anything specific. By excluding all kinds of sources, we narrowed it down to a combination of state machine vi's, use of a number of globals to communicate between these vi's and 2 of the state machine vi's performing rs232 communication. If we take one of these components (partly) out, the problem seems to be solved. Interestingly, failures often appeard at rs232 communication, but having running this without other components did not gave these results. I contacted several times to Labview support, and they also got and checked my code and all test versions to exclude the problems source, but could not tell me what was wrong in all this, which made them curious as well.

I will sent you a pm shortly with my mail adress.

Thanks for your support!

Hi!

Does anybody have a solution for MTi-G 700?  It's connected to PC via USB interface. Is it possible to acquire data from this device with LabView driver? Or, is there any other possibility to use LabView software together with MTi-G 700 device?

Regards, 

Ljubo.

Hello Ljubo,

when i tried 2 years ago, i could not get the mti-300 (with USB-interface) working using the standard driver, as protocols had changed.As Mit700 has a similar interface, this might be the same, or by now a new solution should have appeared... 

I contacted Bublina (as indicated above), and he offerred us a suitable workaround, where a C++ library was used to communicate btween MTI and Labview. This worked for us, although with some limitations. As this was sufficeint for our application, I did not go further into detail.

Kind regards,

 Dear Bublina,

My name is Manh-Son Tran, who is from Viet Nam.

Currently, I'm using the sensor MTi-30 AHRS. When I connect it to my laptop (using only the usb connector (not included the USB converter (RS-232)), a device with name Xsens MTi-30 AHRS (instead of a device with name COM3 ow COM9) appeared in the "Device Manager" as illustrated in Figure 1.

I want to read orientation data from this sensor using LABView 2016 (64 bit). Unfortunately, in the LABView template program provided by NI Instruments it requires the connection under COM3/COM9 as in the figure 2.

The important thing is I want to read these data from the sensor via usb interface. And they said that I should use a C++ library (DLL) to communicate between MTi and LABView.

Have you solved the problem for this? Could you guide me detailed steps to debug this issue, or could you send me your LABView program as well as the C++ library (DLL) for it?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you deeply.
