Digital Discovery

[reash]

Hello,

 

I just wanted to know if the Digital Discovery module can be controlled via LabVIEW.  Please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi @reash,

I have reached out a more experience engineer with Labview and they should respond here on this thread.

cheers,

Hi @reash

You can access the Digital Discovery using the WaveForms SDK which is included in the WaveForms installer.

What does the SDK do?  I need to use LabVIEW for Digital Discovery as a pattern generator, not Analog Discovery...

If I interpret correctly from the previous replies, I don't think you can directly use Digital Discovery at LabVIEW now. What @attila suggested is to use software development kit (SDK) to write script to enable LabVIEW to control Digital Discovery.

Hi @reash

The LabView VIs provide access mostly to analog features and digital IOs, for usage like in the WaveForms application the Static IO interface.

The WaveForms SDK API provide access to all of the device features, like this can be used from the WaveForms app.
These functions can be accessed from LabView as it is described in the earlier link, Tools -> Import -> Shared Library
From the SDK the digital in/out/io functions are relevant for Digital Discovery, and the analog io for the power monitoring, VIO control 1.2V...3.3V...
Of course the analog in/out, scope/awg are not supported by the Digital Discovery
