5.3 LabVIEW® driver / library
LabVIEW is a graphical programming system from National Instruments. The
acronym stands for
“Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Work
bench
”.
The main application areas for LabVIEW are in measurement, control and
automation technology.
LabVIEW modules are virtual instruments (VIs) or sub-programs that are used
in LabVIEW programs for convenient device control. The library components
are used to initialize, open and close interfaces, to initialize and configure the
modules, to make settings, and to trigger and query measurements.
The HBM LabVIEW driver is based on the HBM Common API. The installa
tion includes some examples and extensive help.
5.4 Driver and API for Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET
The HBM Common API can be understood as a generic application program
ming interface (API), and integrates QuantumX into the powerful programming
environment of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Programmers can use APIs to
directly access almost all QuantumX device functions and use them in their
own programs.
Functions such as communication connection, configuration of measurement
channels, implementation of measurements and troubleshooting are compo
nents of the library.
This package can be downloaded free from hbm.com. There are applica
tionbased examples and practical documentation to help you get started
quickly.
