how to make Instron Bluehill (strain controller) communicate with labview (temperature controller)

Hallo 

we are now using instron to do some mechanical test, with instron bluehill to control the strain rate. 

At the same time, Labview is used to control the temperature since samples are heated during load.

we hope that Labview can communicate with Instron so that when the instron test is end, the RSD (Remote software Deployment) of Labview can be off automatically.

Can someone give me some advice??

Thanks.

Hi Snail,

 

Bluehill looks to be the software which ships with the strain controller hardware.  The question is really does that software provide any interface that an IDE can tap into?  ActiveX, .NET are a couple of examples - I would give Instron a call.  There is reference to an ActiveX API here - but no specifics.


Regards,

Hi

 

Bluehill does have an API you can use to interface with LabView. Which version of Bluehill are you using. Bluehill 2 or 3.
