5.2.2 System 7000 Instrument Driver Examples
The instrument driver project ships with examples showing how to:
configure each card type (strain gage, high level, thermocouple, and LVDT),
configure scanning,
configure time-based recording,
setup and use manual recording,
zero a channel,
take a single reading from a channel,
configure and decode real-time (online) data.
5.2.3 System 7000 Instrument “Readme.html”
As per the driver standard, the System 7000 driver includes the file “Vishay 7000 Readme.html” in the
instrument driver project. This file includes the most recent version information, required software,
installation instructions, and release information.
5.2.4 Supported LabVIEW Versions
This instrument driver was developed and tested using National Instruments LabVIEW version 8.5. This
is the supported version of the instrument driver. We will verify compatibility with subsequent versions
of LabVIEW as they are released.
If you are using LabVIEW versions 8.2 or 8.0, we can use the LabVIEW “save for previous version” tool
to save a copy of the instrument driver project; however these versions of the driver are not supported and
have not been tested. Please contact Vishay’s application engineering department.
The ActiveX interface is also compatible with LabVIEW. This is a good alternative if you are
programming with a legacy version of LabVIEW or if you prefer to use an ActiveX interface instead of
an instrument driver.
