getting_started

This example illustrates receiving asynchronous data from a VectorNav sensor and displaying the data in LabVIEW.

Steps

1. Open LabVIEW and then open the VI located in <root>/labview/examples/getting_started/getting_started.vi. You may get a warning message like the one below. You can safely click the Ignore button.

2. On the Front Panel, update the COM Port and Baudrate connection parameters for the port your VectorNav sensor is attached to.
   
   
3. Press the Run button to start the VI. You should see data displayed in real-time. If you do not see any data, you may need to change the asynchronous data output type so that the sensor outputs YawPitchRoll and Acceleration data.
   
   
4. Stop the VI by clicking the STOP button on the Front Panel.
   
   
5. To see how the VI works and for an explanation of process, open the Block Diagram window by going to the menu Window -> Show Block Diagram.
   
   
6. More details about accessing the VectorNav sensor with a walk-through of the process may be found in the From Scratch example.
