LabView: TopCon as a “virtual instrument”
The LabView operating and programming system from National Instru-
ments is a widely used software application for the operation of labora-
tory equipment. It is often used for control on test stations, as it provides
“uniform” operation of different items of measuring and test equipment.
The devices are represented in the software as so-called VIs (virtual in-
struments) and can be combined very easily.
Starting from the TopCon function library (DLL), the necessary functions
for addressing the TopCon power supply can be combined using the
LabView programming environment. Fig. 146, 247 shows a simple ex-
ample user interface.
The functions of the TopControl <CONTROL> tab are represented in
this VI.
