4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Required Software
Make sure LabVIEW™ is installed with the following required add-ons:
1. LabVIEW™
2. NI-DAQmx
3. NI LabVIEW™ Control Design and Simulation Module
4. NI LabVIEW™ MathScript RT Module
5. Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping Toolkit
r
Note: Make sure the Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) Toolkit is installed after LabVIEW. See the RCP
Toolkit Quick Start Guide for more information.
Required Hardware
