Phidgets - LabVIEW Library

December 23, 2010

Extract the folder called "Phidgets" from the zip file to any location you want.

\Phidgets\Library directory contains Phidgets Labview library funcitons.

\Phidgets\Examples directory has various examples. These can be run stand-alone. But we don't recommend dropping examples into user programs as sub-VIs. These examples are designed to demonstrate how to write user's own VIs.

We recommend not to modify any VIs from the folder. User can always make a copy in a different directory for different Labview versions.



There are 2 ways to call the Phidget Labview Library:



   1)  Store the folder anywhere and copy and paste library functions from the folder;


   2)  Call from the Labview function palette. User needs to do the following:

	i) Open Labview and select Tools->Adnaced->Edit Palette Set...
	ii) The Edit Controls and Function Palette Set will appear. Right click in the fress space on Functions palette, and select Insert->Subpalette...
	iii) Select "Link to a diretory" and choose the Phidgets folder. Save changes and all Phidgets Labview functions will appear on the Labview function palette. 
	iv) For a more detailed illustration, please refer to the Phidgets Labview Manual "2.3 Installation"


For more details, please refer to the Phidgets Labview Manual.
