LABView Support
CEI-LV provides ready-to-use, ARINC 429 LabVIEW
application examples in VI source that can be quickly
integrated into your custom LabVIEW application.
Rapidly build applications to simulate or monitor
multiple ARINC 429 channels in real-time, filter and time-
tag data and create custom displays. VI’s are provided
for initialization, channel configuration, error handling,
transmitting or receiving multiple messages, and engi-
neering unit conversion.
