LabVIEW Instrument driver

Introduction

This page presents a collection of LabVIEW libraries developed at GSI which are sorted by different categories:

• Instrument drivers: drivers for hardware devices
• Communication drivers: provide communication interfaces
• DLL drivers: usage of dlls for specific purposes

Refer to the NI Instrument driver Network

• to find existing instrument drivers,
• to learn about the usage of instrument driver or
• to learn how to develop your own instrument driver.

Communication driver

Please, read the license.htm before downloading!

DIM

DIM is a communication system for distributed / mixed environments. It provides a network transparent inter-process communication layer based on TCP/IP and has been developed at CERN. We have written a LabVIEW interface for DIM that is based on the official DIM distribution and a wrapper dll. Follow this link.

SDEX

SDEX is a communication protocol used by EE/KS. The presently supported hardware layer is RS485. Download.

ESONE Client

This ESONE VI library provides access to CAMAC via the MBS-ESONE-Server. It makes calls to esone.dll which is an implementation of the GSI ESONE client on Windows using ONC RPC. Download

GSI PIFB

Profibus Slave GSI PIFB, substitute for the GSI Device-Bus Interface

Userface Client

The VI library provides access to the GSI accelerator control system. The server and client software was developed by U.Krause@gsi.de. The LabVIEW VI wrapper library by H.Brand@gsi.de. For detailed information check the device model documentation.

DLL driver

Please, read the license.htm before downloading!

Global and shared memory

This driver is no longer used and deprecated. Documentation.

This driver provides two things:

• Dynamically allocatable global memory that is accessible only within an application (not shared with other applications).
• (As an additional feature: Fixed sized memory that can be shared between different Windows applications (shared memory).)

The dll is written with C++/C. By this, it is possible to use the dll without additional software from other non-LabVIEW applications.

How to pass an Interrupt from a DLL to LabVIEW

DLL must be complied multithreaded and also the DLL call from LabVIEW must be configured as reentrant. Download
