Integration into LabVIEW

This documentation explains how the neMESYS SDK Windows DLLs are integrated into LabVIEW. For an easy start with LabVIEW programming, all of the Windows DLL function blocks are already created for you (for LabVIEW 8.6 - 32 Bit). For each neMESYS SDK function we have created a VI. In order to include the VIs into your LabVIEW installation, you have to perform the following steps.

The neMESYS VIs have to be added to the LabVIEW Palette Set. Select Advanced -> Edit Palette Set from the Tools menu

Then click with the right mouse button into the palette and select Insert -> Sub palette from the popup menus

Select Link to an existing palette file (.mnu) from the Insert Sub palette window and then click OK.

Select the file neMESYS.mnu from the neMESYS LabVIEW Kit\menufiles directory within your neMESYS SDK installation directory.

Finally save the changes you just made to the palette. Now the neMESYS VIs are accessible through the LabVIEW functions palette.

Groups of functions

The VIs of neMESYS LabVIEW Integration are grouped according to the Modules of the neMESYS SDK.

For detailed information about the function groups and the single VIs please refer to the function reference of the neMESYS SDK API.

LabVIEW Example

The example neMESYS_Labview_Example.vi in the examples folder is a dialog based application. The application shows you, how the communication with the neMESYS devices has to be initialised and how several dosing tasks can be realised.
