 Lab VIEW 6i
With the presentation of the new 6i version, National Instruments proposes a new version with Internet functions that enable technicians and researchers to increase productivity. Owing to this new version users can make developed applications available for their colleagues through the plug-in browser LabVIEW Player, as well as publishing data on the Web and share them with the rest of the company. Lab VIEW 6i users do not just have the new Internet functions available but, owing to the so called measurement and control intelligence, they can implement measure and control applications in a simpler way compared to the product’s previous versions.The measurement and control intelligence concept gives the possibility to automatically configure the hardware for measurement and control so as to develop applications more quickly, thus reducing user programming and increasing productivity. The new version allows the reduction of test application development times owing to the fact that it contains many already available functions to be used by users. Hardware integration, measurement sensors and software to the end of automatically recognising and configuring the measure and control components is a great resource. This enables users to implement control applications in a simpler way and with less recourse to programming, thus reducing development times. This software offers a large range of functions for data acquisition and instrument control, as well as new libraries for image acquisition and axis control. Owing to LabVIEW 6i it is possible to distribute control applications in a transparent way within the company. A user can, for example, give instructions to a remote computer in order for it to acquire data. Then indicating to a powerful workstation to analyse results and finally publish this information online anywhere it is required. To guarantee a simple LabVIEW 6i integration with the various company programming languages and tools, users can generate a dynamic link library (DLL), or shared library, starting from a VI standard LabVIEW. The DLLs can then be integrated in other programming environments such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++ or National Instruments Measurement Studio. |
