Chapter 1 Installation and Configuration
This manual describes Advantech’s 32-bit LabVIEW driver designed to integrate Advantech
PC-LabCards and remote data acquisition and control devices with LabVIEW software. These
drivers will be executed in Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 environments. 32-bit
LabVIEW drivers feature with both high speed and normal speed data acquisition functions and
provide two different interfaces set for users. One is Easy I/O VIs (virtual instrument) for
ease-to-use, another is Advanced I/O VIs (virtual instrument) for complex applications. Through
32-bit LabVIEW drivers, you can easily integrate Advantech DA&C devices with LabVIEW
software to build a powerful laboratory automation solution.
Functionality
Advantech 32-bit LabVIEW drivers enable you to use PC-LabCards and remote data acquisition
and control modules with LabVIEW software. The LabVIEW driver forms an interface between
Advantech DA&C device DLL drivers, which contain all the relevant functions to control the
PC-LabCards or remote DA&C device, and the LabVIEW software. LabVIEW driver forms a VI
(virtual instrument) in the LabVIEW package, which enables other applications to be used in
conjunction with the PC-LabCards hardware.
