Integration into LabVIEW

This documentation explains how the Qmix 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 2010 - Version 10.0 - 32 Bit / 64 Bit). For each Qmix SDK function we have created a VI. Each VI is simply a wrapper for a C function call of a Windows DLL. So the C function documentation is also valid for the Qmix LabVIEW VIs. In order to include the VIs into your LabVIEW installation, you have to perform the following steps.

Note
Make sure to use the correct SDK version (32-bit or 64-bit) for your LabVIEW installation. If you are using the 64-bit version of LabVIEW, you also need the 64-bit version of the Qmix SDK.

The Qmix SDK 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 QmixSDK.mnu from the lib\labview\menufiles directory within your QmixSDK installation directory.

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


Groups of functions

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