Pluggin' into Switch Executive

Solved!
Go to solution

Does anybody have some hints on how to plug in to SwitchExecutive to integrate an own (non-NI based) switching device? In my  case, I am thinking about integrating a pneumatic switching matrix with 72 valves...

If it is possble at all....

 

Cheers

Oli

I never tried that but I've read that with IVI Switch driver you should be able to accomplish this (or at least that what I understand). So, you need custom IVI Switch Driver.

Adding to Michal's links, I have managed to use it with pickering devices. You need to make it IVI compaitble.

@Michal

@Sree

 

thanks for the information, it'a a good starting point! The only thing, which bothers me a bit is that I was not yet able to find a .net template for a IVI switch driver. CVI is not part of our regular toolchain, so I am a bit reluctant.

I shall keep on searching. As of now, we're evaluating the feasibilty of this concept in general.

I'm not the expert but look for ".NET IviSwtch"

There is .NET IVI as well.
