Use of the Toolbox presumes, that its user is skilled in LabVIEW programming, in advanced use of personal computers, and possibly in use of other programming systems. LabVIEW Toolbox also presumes that a user has his/her valid license of NI LabVIEW. This license is not included in the Toolbox. DANTEC DYNAMICS Supported programming environments • LabVIEW Toolbox is written in NI LabVIEW so it is directly compatible with all recent versions of LabVIEW • LabVIEW software (including Toolbox blocks) can be compiled into a C code so it is compatible with C/C++ programming environment • LabVIEW can also be compiled into a form of a DLL library, which is useable in virtually any programming language (C/C++, Visual Basic, and others) High-level VI’s Although, generally, the Toolbox does not contain executable programs, it does include many high-level VI’s, which are very close to ready-made program block. These include (but are not limited to) e.g. executing calibration of a probe for a given velocity, calculation of 3D velocity from 3-wire probe, setting up position of a traverse, and many others.

LabVIEW Toolbox for CTA Product Information StreamLine • Support of all features of both StreamLine (via RS 232) and Streamline Pro (via USB or TCP/IP) • Support of any hardware configuration (controller module, CTA modules and calibration module) • Communication initialization • Setting and reading of all adjustable parameters • Separate resistance measurement for cable, support and probe • Temperature measurement • Voltage measurement (StreamLine Pro) • Adjustment of overheat & signal conditioning • Square wave test for fine tuning of probe response • Full control of the calibration...
