Overview of DAQ-LV-WIN

Summary of DAQ-LV-WIN

[DAQ-LV-WIN] is a VI library for using our company's devices in NI's LabVIEW.
Our goal is [Make the customers who use LabVIEW feel less discomfort] and [Easy to use].

 

The Features of DAQ-LV-WIN

In general, our company's devices are used by calling our standard driver API function from the application created in Visual Studio development environment.

The way of calling driver API function can be fine control devices. But, when you create an application, you should understand the system and specification of driver API function at first. So, for the first time users it's a bit high hurdle.
And, each type of device has its driver API function. If the user uses analog devices and digital devices at the same time, it's required to call 2 sets of driver API function.

DAQ-LV-WIN improved the above points. By it you can more simple and convenient to use our company's device.

    - Polymorphic VI of DAQ-LV-WIN support analog device and digital device
    - It is designed to be used without needing to know the system and specification of our company's driver API function

The difference from the VI library [VI-DAQ] provided by our company

In order to use our company's device in LabVIEW, our company provides the VI library named [VI-DAQ].

Compare with VI-DAQ, DAQ-LV-WIN has the following characteristics. DAQ-LV-WIN is simpler and easy to use.

- Multiple functions are combined into polymorphic VI, so there is no difficulty to select VI
- Take over the error handling in the next VI
- Analog, digital and counter use the common VI (polymorphic VI)

Characteristics of VI

Polymorphic VI Select and use the VI for each purpose

Basically prepare the VI in the API function unit of each device driver

Merit

Easy to quickly achieve the desired behavior

Can be used in the same process as the driver API

Facing customer

The user who is familiar with LabVIEW

The user who uses CONTEC production for the first time

The user who knows how to use the driver API
The user who uses CONTEC production before

 

About polymorphic VI

Polymorphic VI is a collection of VI with the same connector pane pattern. Instance to use is determined by the wired data type. And instance can be selected by controlling the selector of polymorphic VI.

For DAQ-LV-WIN, you can select and use instances.
