9-168 | OWNER’S GUIDE
Dewetron customers creating automated test systems, manu-
facturing test, or any special function system, rely on LabVIEW
from National Instruments as their development environment.
LabVIEW is perhaps the best known application of its type, all
around the world. It’s no surprise therefore that DEWETRON
has developed robust VIs (virtual instruments) that you can
drop directly onto your LabVIEW application, integrating our
hardware easier than ever before.
You might be aware that it is possible to program on top of
Dewesoft as well, but you need to run Dewesoft at least hid-
den, and have a paid license for it. But using DEWETRON’s
LabVIEW VIs you get native LabVIEW support for our hard-
ware, and eliminate the need for Dewesoft.
Hardware Supported by DEWETRON’s LabVIEW VI’s
DEWETRON ORION series A/D cards are supported, includ-
ing:
 ORION 16-bit A/D cards
 ORION 22-bit A/D cards
 ORION 24-bit A/D cards
In addition, we’ve been adding our DAQ series plug-in ISOLA-
TION modules, starting with these most popular models:
 DAQP-STG - universal / strain / bridge module
 DAQP-HV - high voltage module
 DAQP-LV - low voltage module
Additional DAQ series modules are being added all the time,
according to our customer requests.
DwDAQ Library for LabVIEW
There are 15 VI’s as of this writing:
LabVIEW Drivers for ORION and DAQ Modules
Using these functions you can setup the
A/D card, read its current settings, and
more importantly, congure it the way
that you want, including which channels
to acquire, the acquisition rate, and how
many samples to get from the card. Error
checking is built in, so that you can verify
at every step that the hardware is doing
what you expect.
