Why such an introduction?


In this chapter, we will be talking about hardware made for use with LabVIEW by other companies (and not National Instruments). Almost any reputable company releases LabVIEW Vis with their hardware. Make sure to search for the LabVIEW drive and Vis. Our main component will be a measurement computing DAQ and several boards that are made to do certain specific jobs. We will talk extensively about the DAQ, but these boards I mentioned previously are also very good and better yet at very reasonable prices. They are Chinese made and you can buy some of them on Amazon and many more nice gadgets at https://www.banggood.com. The two products we are going to use are:

E-1608, 16-Bit Multifunction Ethernet DAQ Device

Key highlights:

  • 16-bit high-speed Ethernet device

  • Sample rates up to 250 kS/s

  • 8 SE/4 DIFF analog inputs

  • Two 16-bit analog outputs

  • Eight individually-configurable digital I/O

  • One 32-bit counter input

  • Includes a built-in 10/100 BASE-T auto-negotiation, high-speed communication...
