Runtime Revolution
Has anyone experience in using the LabJack interface with the programming language Runtime Revolution?
To use the LabJack DLL wrapping a DLL in C is required.
Perhaps it is even easier with LJFuse.............
Re: Runtime Revolution
Any language that can do file I/O can use LJFuse. A Mac OS X or Linux user using any language that isn't C or Python is better off with LJFuse.
I'm very excited about using
I'm very excited about using LJFuse to talk to the LabJack. Have you been able to run any performance tests using a compiled language? It would be interesting to see a table showing the different ways to talk to the LabJack and the different speeds that you can achive. For example, using C, what is the performance of using LJFuse versus making direct calls to the driver?
As of right now, we haven't
As of right now, we haven't run any benchmarking tests on LJFuse. It is not at the top of our queue, but we will try to get some numbers soon.
It would be my guess that LJFuse will lose against direct calls to the driver. Any performance hit is more than worth it for the languages we don't directly support, or users new to the LabJack.
I'm trying to get LJFuse up
I'm trying to get LJFuse up and running on OSX 10.6.5, with python 2.6.6. I want to talk to it with Ruby, but Ruby-libusb support seems dated/questionable, so LJFuse looked like the best shot.
I installed current exodriver, no apparent errors and the u6BasicConfigU6 example runs fine.
I installed MacFUSE, no apparent errors.
Installed fusepy, no apparent errors.
download and untar ljfuse, and then run python ljfuse.py:
MacFUSE needs to be installed
MacFUSE needs to be installed first. Quoting the requirements, "On Mac OS X, LJFuse requires MacFUSE. On Linux, LJFuse uses the kernel’s fuse implementation."
I have MacFUSE version 2.0.3
I have MacFUSE version 2.0.3 installed.
Sorry, I somehow missed that
Sorry, I somehow missed that in your first comment. Have you tried restarting your Mac.
It has been restarted since
It has been restarted since the various installations.
/usr/local/lib/libfuse.dylib is present, and symlinks to /usr/local/lib/libfuse.0.dylib.
Also, if you check the
Also, if you check the /usr/local/lib directory do you see libfuse.dylib . I believe that's what fuse.py is looking for, and should have been installed by MacFUSE.
Hi Is there any way to make
Hi Is there any way to make LJFuse communicate with a LabJack UE9 via ethernet/IP? /Roger
Not at this time, but it is
Not at this time, but it is planned for the future.
Right now Modbus is probably the simplest interface if you want to talk to a UE9 from some unsupported software.
Is it possible to use Ljfuse
Is it possible to use Ljfuse with labJack U12. I tried following the above steps, and get no error meeages, but myroot-ljfuse directory only contains HOW_TO_UNMOUNT.txt README.txt i.e. no "my U12". Then I noticed that U12 is not amongst the products listed in the requirements.
No, LJFuse does not have U12
No, LJFuse does not have U12 support.
Running LJFuse on Ubuntu
Running LJFuse on Ubuntu 11.04 but find that I can't write to U3 - permission denied. As root I can't change permission on the fuse directory. I have it running on a very similar setup on another PC without this problem - any suggestions?
BTW this is a fabulous way to access LabJack.
First unmount LJFuse
First unmount LJFuse (fusermount -u root-ljfuse), then add the current user to the "fuse" group, log off and back on, and try starting LJFuse again not as root. This command will add you to the "fuse" group (USERNAME is the current user you are logged in as):
sudo usermod -a -G fuse USERNAME
I've seen on certain distributions this is necessary for correct permissions, but usually on Ubuntu this should not be an issue. If this does not help, can you run the "ls -laR" command on your "root-ljfuse" directory and post the results.
Yes that's fixed it, thanks.

Hi, I am using U3-HV with
Hi,
I am using U3-HV with python(ubuntu 12.04 machine). I was logging around 18volts through AIN1 using special channel no 32.
d.configIO(FIOAnalog = 0xF0 , EIOAnalog = 0x10)
measurements = {
'V_pan': measurement('V_pan', 1, 32, 'V')
}
Now If I want to do the same task while using LJFuse,what should I do? Is the following piece of code ok ?
$ echo 2 > FIO0-dir
First you'll want to set the
First you'll want to set the negative channel to 32 for AIN1 like so:
#Create Modbus address 3001 file (AIN1 neg. channel).
#Note AIN/FIO0 is 3000, AIN/FIO1 is 3001, AIN/FIO2 is 3002, ...
$ touch root-ljfuse/My U3/modbus/3001
#Set negative channel to 32
$ echo 32 > root-ljfuse/My U3/modbus/3001
Then you read AIN1 like so (Note that on a U3-HV, FIO0-3 are always analog inputs and named AIN0-3):
$ cat root-ljfuse/My U3/connection/AIN1
The Modbus address list can be found here:
http://labjack.com/support/modbus/ud-modbus
For using the modbus directory help look here:

OK did it for AIN0-3. I can
OK did it for AIN0-3. I can read AIN0-3 with $cat command. Now I need to read the analog inputs once a second. So I am trying to run from a text file :
Use f.readline() instead. I
Use f.readline() instead. I changed the Python example to reflect this. Readings end with a newline ('\n'), but there may be some null characters after the newline that can cause conversion errors.
OK everything is working
OK everything is working fine. Except, I can't read voltages greater than 10volts(around) through the dedicated analog inputs(AIN0-AIN3). Even if the voltage increases, the reading from these pins get saturated at 10volts. Applying around 14 volts, I have checked those pin's actual voltages with a multimeter. Yes, the multimeter shows the right voltage. So I guess it's the u3-HV which is not reading the voltage greater than 10volts.
Why is that ? I have done from the ubuntu terminal following:
$touch 3000
$echo 32>3000
And similar command for each of the 4 pins. And yes, in the modbus subdirectory of u3, 3000,3001,3002 and 3003 registers have been created. And when I am reading the pins using following commands:
PATH1 = "/home/abir/root-ljfuse/u3/connection/AIN1"
while True:
f1 = file(PATH1)
print "V_pan= %0.3f"% (float(f1.readline()))
The program is running smooth and giving accurate output upto 10volts. At 10 volts, the output is getting saturated. So is the special negative channel(32) for AIN0-AIN4 not working? It should be working for -10to+40 volts, right?

Make sure you are running the
Make sure you are running the latest U3 firmware. Special range support through Modbus was added in firmware v1.44:
http://labjack.com/support/firmware/u3
http://labjack.com/support/firmware
Running the latest firmware I was able to read above 10 V in LJFuse. Also, the special range is -10 to +20 V.

I use u3-HV with python on ubuntu 12.04 machine.The files under the "connections" subdirectory [ AIN0-3] , what type of files they are? Are they csv ? If not,what should I change in the ljfuse.py file to make these "connection" files csv ? Actually I am logging data through several I/O pins of u3 and later on I want to merge the corresponding files to a single csv file.
They are text files with a
They are text files with a single reading, followed by an endline ('\n') to indicate the end of the reading. When you open/readline/close a file you get a new reading. You can save the readings in an array and not in csv form, and later during your merge make into the csv file format you want. Python has a nice module for making csv files:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html
If you do want to modify the LJFuse source code, take a look at the ModbusAddrPath through FlexibleIOStatePath classes' read methods, lines 114-209 in ljfuse.py.
Hello, Could you please show
Hello,
Could you please show an example of using ljfuse for a PWM output?
I've been struggling with it for a couple days now and I'm stuck.
Here is what I have so far:
cd root-ljfuse
cd @
cd modbus
touch 50500 (open the Pin Offset modbus address)
echo "4" > 50500 (Set offset to four, as specified in Labjack U3 manual section 2.9)
touch 50501 (open the # of PWM channels modbus address)
echo "1" > 50501 (Tell U3 that I will have one PWM output.)
According to to the manual the output will be on the FIO4 screw terminal.
At this point I'm stuck. How do I actually set the pulse width???
Sincerely,
Peter Halverson

In another page's comment it looks like you found your answer. For others with similar issues, refer to the "Advanced: Timers & Counters" page for timer/counter examples in LJFuse. A timer configured for PWM is demonstrated there:

Can LJFuse be made to work
Can LJFuse be made to work with an LJTick-DAC (connected to a U3-HV)? Also, is there anything special that needs to be done after popping in the LJTick-DAQ?
No, it looks like an
No, it looks like an LJTick-DAC cannot be used in LJFuse. LJFuse only supports the Modbus protocol, and it looks like there are no specific LJTick-DAC or I²C addresses available on a U3 in the ModBus map.
Normally you connect your LJTick-DAC to DIO lines and using the low-level protocol's I²C function you would get calibration constants and set voltages as demonstrated in the C and Python examples:
C - u3LJTDAC.c
Python - LJTickDAC.py
Is there a way to change the

Are you wanting to change the power-up defaults of I/O on a U3/U6/UE9? On Windows, you can use "Config Defaults" in LJControlPanel.
