LABVIEW DRIVERS
This page contains LabView™ drivers for some of our more popular GPIB Interfaces. ICS's LabView drivers include VIs that make it easy to integrate the unit into a LabView application. We will continue to add new drivers to this page as they are developed. Use the message form to email any questions about the drivers or requests for new drivers to our support engineers.

General Instructions

The LabView Driver data sheets are acrobat PDF files. If you do not have an acrobat reader, click on the acrobat reader link to download a free copy of the reader from Adobe.

The LabView Files are zip files that will open and run on a Intel type PC. Download the file and place it in a temporary directory. Use the RUN command or Double click on the file name (or icon) to run the zip extraction routine.

Some of the demo VI Files are executable only files prepared with LabView version 5.1. They can be run with LabView versions 5.1 or later. They can also be run with the LabView's 5.1 Run Time Engine which can be downloaded by clicking on the Run Time Engine link at the bottom of this page.

 
Demonstration VISA VI for ICS's GPIB Controllers

PC file IDN_DemoVI.zip A zip file that contains a LabView 7.1 VI that uses VISA calls to query a device and read the device's IDN message. Use this example VI with the 8065, 488-USB or with any ICS GPIB Controller to demonstrate LabView and VISA compatibility. File size is 20 Kbytes.

 
4861 Drivers for TWTA

PC file 4861TWTA_lib.zip A zip file that contains some LabView 5.1 VIs that use the 4861A to control a Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier. These LabView VIs initialize the 4861A and the TWTA, read status, set digital outputs and read back digital status. Use with ICS Models 4861 and 4861A. File size is 136 Kbytes.

 

48x7 Drivers for Data Acquisition & Control

PC file DAQBd_lib.zip A zip file that contains four 48x7 Demo LabView 5.1 VIs and the VI library. These LabView VIs show off the 48x7's capabilities by reading and writing digital data, outputting and reading analog values, setting the relay drivers and reading temperatures. Use with ICS Models 4807 and 4867. File size is 164 Kbytes.

 

48x9 Drivers for Modbus Applications

PC file Temp_and_Humidity.zip A zip file that contains the Temperature and Humidity set point control VI. Includes several LabView 7.1 VIs and the library VIs. Use with ICS Models 4809,4819 and 4899. File size is 189 Kbytes.

 

4804A-7 F30145 Drivers for ANSI X3.28 Applications

PC file ANSI_Demo.zip A zip file that contains three LabView 5.1 VIs that work with a 4804A-7 GPIB Interface Card to control Watlow 942 and Tenny Versatrenn Temperature Controllers that use the ANSI X3.28 protocol. The demo VIs demonstrate a Static Setpoint, Loading temperature steps and Running the programmed steps. Use with an ICS 4804A-7 with PROM F30145 or with a 4894A-7 with PROM F30146. File size is 387 Kbytes.

 

4863 GPIB Parallel Digital Interface LabView Drivers

PC file 4863_labview.zip A zip file that contains LabView 5.1 VIs that can be used to control any of ICS's GPIB to Digital Interfaces: 4863, 4803, 4823B or a 4813. Refer to AB48-31 for information about the 4863 VIs

 

4864 GPIB Relay Interface LabView Drivers

PC file 4864_labview.zip A zip file that contains LabView 5.1 VIs that can be used to control a 4864 GPIB Relay Interface and to read back its digital inputs. See AB48-29 for information about the 4864 VIs.

 
5.1 Run Time Engine

PC file runtime_zip.exe Self-exploding zip file that contains the LabView version 5.1 Run Time Engine. This Run Time Engine allows you to run executable LabView VIs if you do not have LabView version 5.1 or 6.i installed on your computer. File size is 2,674Kbytes.
