LV-Link 3.0

Software Interface for LabVIEW^® 

LV-Link™ is a library of VIs (Virtual Instruments) that enable LabVIEW® programmers to access the data acquisition features of DT-Open Layers-compliant USB and PCI devices. This library is consistent with the design and layout of the LabVIEW DAQmx VIs to speed development time and minimize learning curve issues.

LV-Link provides the ability to measure and control analog I/O, digital I/O, quadrature decoders, and counter/timer signals, and stream data at full-speed. To get up and running quickly, numerous example programs are provided with the software. 

Key Features:

• Create test and measurement applications for Data Translation DT-Open Layers compliant USB and PCI hardware using LabVIEW®
• Integrate Data Translation and National Instruments hardware in the same application 
• Measure and control analog I/O, digital I/O, quadrature decoders, counter/timer signals 
• Stream data to disk at full-speed 
• Numerous example programs to aid application development
• For use with LabVIEW 8.5.1 or greater for 32-bit support, or LabVIEW 2009 or higher for 64-bit or 32-bit support

Note: LV-Link 3.0 is recommended for new applications. LV-Link 3.0 is not backwards compatible with LV-Link 2.0. If you have a LabVIEW application that was written using LV-Link 2.0 and you want to port that application to use LV-Link 3.0, please see the LV-Link help file for complete instructions on how to proceed.
