I/O andSystem Timing

PAC hardware targets are designed for applications requiring:

• Graphics – Half of the features and tools included in LabVIEW are designed to simplify development of user interfaces. As such, you can easily incorporate graphics and an HMI for control systems.

• Measurements (high-speed data acquisition, vision, and motion) -- National Instruments has a strong history in high-speed I/O, including vision acquisition, so you can incorporate measurements such as vibration or machine vision into your standard control systems.

• Processing capabilities – NI PACs excel in applications where specialized control algorithms, advanced signal processing, or data logging is required. Using LabVIEW, you can incorporate custom control code built using NI or third-party tools, implement signal processing such as joint time-frequency analysis, or log data locally and remotely.

• Platforms -- With LabVIEW, you can create code that runs a variety of platforms including a PC, embedded controller, FPGA chip, or handheld PDA.

• Communication -- LabVIEW makes it easy for you to pass data to the enterprise with tools like OPC and SQL/ODBC

Industrial Applications: Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs)

The Goal of LabVIEW 8 Distributed Features

• One environment for managing all targets– LabVIEW Project

• Consistent interface for communicating between nodes– LabVIEW Shared Variable

• Easy scaling from small to large applications– LabVIEW Real-Time and Datalogging and Supervisory Control

Provide the best environment for developing applications and communication between one or more distributed nodes
