How to Use This Manual This manual is designed to help you install the PCIS-LVIEW, the LabVIEW driver for NuDAQ PCI-bus data acquisition cards. For the detail description of PCIS-LVIEW VIs, please refer to PCIS-LVIEW on-line help or PDF file format Function Reference. This manual is organized as follows: ?? Chapter 1, "Introduction to PCIS-LVIEW" describes how to program your application by using PCIS-LVIEW.
1 Introduction to PCIS-LVIEW 1.1 1.1.1 Using PCIS-LVIEW Vis in LabVIEW Windows NT/2000/98/XP Version To use PCIS-LVIEW VIs, you may switch the palette to the adlink view. LabVIEW 4 / LabVIEW 5 Select Select Palette Set command in the Edit menu from panel or block diagram in LabVIEW. Then select the adlink view from the menu setup ring. LabVIEW 6 Click the Options button in the Controls or Functions palette toolbar to display the Function Browser Options dialog box.
Then you can find PCIS-LVIEW VIs in NuDAQ icon on the Functions palette. 1.1.2 Windows 95 Version You can find the PCIS-LVIEW VIs in the User Libraries icon in the Functions palette from your block diagram in LabVIEW.
1.2 PCIS-LVIEW NT/98/2000/XP Programming The chapter 4 PCIS-LVIEW 98/NT/2000/XP Overview briefly describes each VI in PCIS-LVIEW. All applications developed with PCIS-LVIEW are compatible across Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000/XP. You can find the detailed description of each VI by the following ways: 1. Select Show Help command of Help menu in LabVIEW. When you put the mouse cursor on PCIS-LVIEW VI, LabVIEW will show the description of the VI. 2.
2 Device Driver Handling in Windows NT/2000/98/XP 2.1 NT 4.0 Device Driver Driver Status After finishing the installation and re-entering Windows NT, make sure the PCI device drivers are already started. For PCIS-LVIEW to be able to communicate with NuDAQ PCI-bus card, device driver AdlDask as well as the card’s own device driver (e.g. PCI6208, PCI7200, PCI7230, PCI7234, PCI7250, PCI7248, PCI7296, PCI7300, PCI7432, PCI7433, PCI7434, PCI9111, PCI9112, PCI9113, PCI9114, PCI9118, or PCI9812, etc.
2.2 Win2000/XP or Win98 Device Driver Once Windows 98/2000/XP has started, the Plug and Play function of Windows 98/2000/XP system will find the new NuDAQ/NuIPC cards. If this is the first time to install NuDAQ/NuIPC cards in your Windows 98/2000/XP system, you will be informed to install the device driver.
3 PCIS-LVIEW NT/2000/98/XP Utilities 3.1 NuDAQ Registry/Configuration utility (PciUtil) PciUtil is used to register NuDAQ PCI card drivers (Windows NT4 only), remove installed drivers (Windows NT4 only), and modify the allocated buffer sizes of AI, AO, DI and DO (Windows NT/2000/98/XP). The default location of this utility is \Util directory. Because it has been mentioned in the previous chapter, we will not introduce it here.
You can select two types of destination file, Text file or CSV file. To change the default File path setting, type the file path you wish or click the Browser button from Output File frame to select the destination file location. DAQCvt provides three types of data format conversion. File with scaled data : The data in hexadecimal format is scaled to engineering unit (voltage, ample, … etc) according to the card type, data width and data range and then written to disk in text file format.
4 PCIS-LVIEW NT/2000/98/XP Overview This chapter briefly describes each VI in PCIS-LVIEW for Windows NT/2000/98/XP. The setup program detects the system (Windows NT, 2000/XP, or 98), and installs the correct platform drivers to the system. All applications developed with PCIS-LVIEW are compatible across Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000/XP. You can find the detailed description of each VI by the following ways: 3. Select Show Help command of Help menu in LabVIEW.

4.3 4.3.1 Analog Output Function Group Analog output Configuration VIs AO 6208A Config: Informs PCIS-LVIEW of the current range selected for the analog output operation of PCI-6208A. AO 9111 Config: Informs PCIS-LVIEW library of the polarity (unipolar or bipolar) that the output channel is configured for the analog output of PCI-9111. You must call this function before calling function to perform voltage output operation.
4.4.4 Asynchronous Digital Input Monitoring VIs DI Async Check: Checks the current status of the asynchronous digital input operation. DI Async Clear: Stops the asynchronous digital input operation. DI Async Double Buffer Mode: Enables or Disables double buffer data acquisition mode. DI Async Double Buffer Half Ready: Checks whether the next half buffer of data in circular buffer is ready for transfer during an asynchronous double-buffered digital input operation.
DO Async Multi Buffer Next Ready : Checks whether the next buffer is ready for new data during an asynchronous multi-buffered digital output operation. 4.6 DIO Function Group DIO Port Config: Informs PCIS-LVIEW of the port direction selected for the digital input/output operation. 4.7 Timer/Counter Function Group CTR Read: Reads the current contents of the selected counter without disturbing the counting process. CTR Reset: Sets the output of the selected counter to the specified state.
5 PCIS-LVIEW/95 Overview This chapter briefly describes each VI in PCIS-LVIEW for Windows 95. You can find the detailed description of each VI by the following ways: 1. Select Show Help command of Help menu in LabVIEW. When you put the mouse cursor on PCIS-LVIEW/95 VI, LabVIEW will show the description of the VI. 2. Through PCIS-LVIEW/95 on-line help 3.

6 Distribution of Applications To install an application using PCIS-LVIEW on another computer, you also must install the necessary driver files and supporting libraries on the target machine. You can create an automatic installer to install your program and all of the files needed to run that program or you can manually install the program and program files.
Data Conversion utility DAQCvt.exe in \software\pcis-lview\w98nt2k\redist\daqcvt to convert the binary data file to the file format read easily. 6.3 Windows 2000 ?? LLB files: Plv.llb in \software\pcis-lview\w98nt2k\redist\llb ?? Required support DLLs: Plv.dll in \software\pcis-lview\w98nt2k\redist\dll. This file should be copied to Winnt\system32 directory. ?? Driver files The corresponding driver files in \software\pcis-lview\w98nt2k\redist\w2000\drivers, e.g. pci7200.sys for PCI-7200.
