Latest software for DAQ delivers new tools
25 January 2006
Test & Measurement
National Instruments has announced the latest version of NI-DAQmx, its powerful data acquisition (DAQ) driver software and the core of its measurement services software shipped with each piece of NI multifunction DAQ hardware.
With NI-DAQmx 8 driver software, engineers using all NI-DAQmx hardware - including new PCI Express and USB DAQ devices - can take advantage of the powerful upgrades in the NI's Labview 8 graphical platform for design, control and test.
For example, Labview 8 offers improvements to existing Labview Express technology to benefit data acquisition, including upgrades to Instrument I/O Assistant and DAQ Assistant. These tools, which streamline system set-up by helping engineers interactively communicate with their DAQ devices and instruments, now help developers programmatically modify execution parameters - such as acquisition rate - in the assistants during run time.
NI-DAQmx 8 also provides the data acquisition I/O server for a new shared variable in Labview 8. Engineers can use this feature to easily share data between two nodes, including realtime and supervisory nodes, within a distributed control and monitoring system. The Labview Project Explorer helps engineers manage and target all networked realtime and I/O nodes used in the system and then download, execute and debug Labview measurement applications on all computing nodes simultaneously, saving development time and accelerating productivity.
NI-DAQmx 8 also features the new USB Autolauncher, which makes setting up applications with USB connectivity easier. Engineers who need to thoroughly document their data acquisition can use the new report generation capability in the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Similarly, customers with high-channel-count systems now can import and export data acqusition system configurations in MAX to human-readable file formats such as Microsoft Excel.
