SOFTWARE

 

 
The 5971-160 Reversal Switch is provided with basic control and monitoring software.  This 
section covers the installation and basic operation of the software. 
 

5.1 - Software Installation

 

Install the software packages in the order below.  This should ensure that all components are 
correctly installed and working. 
 

1.  Install the National Instruments software and driver package, NI-DAQmx, according to 

the instructions in the National Instruments software manual. 

 
2. Connect the Reversal Switch to the computer. 
 
3.  Using the National Instruments software, Measurement and Automation Explorer, verify 

communication between the computer and the Reversal Switch. 

 
4.  Install the GMW Reversal Switch software. 
 

The GMW supplied software allows basic control and monitoring.  There are two options 
when installing the software.   The first is a basic run-time version that does not allow 
modification of the software.  The second option is a set of virtual instruments (VIs) that 
may be modified to suite a custom application.  Note that the ability to use the VI version 
requires the purchase of the complete National Instruments LabVIEW software package. 

 

5.1.1 - Installing the Run Time software version 

 

1.  Insert the GMW supplied software disc in to the CD or DVD drive. 
 
2.  Run the setup.exe located in the directory \Installer\Volume.   

 

This will install both the runtime and source VIs and by default, the installer will 
place the files in the directory c:\program files\GMW 5971 Reversal Switch\.  You 
may change this at the time of installation. 

 

3.  After the setup has completed, read the readme file for any last minute changes or 

notes. 

 

5.2 - Operating the Reversal Switch using the GMW Software

 

Once the software is installed, it will be possible to control and monitor the Reversal Switch 
using the supplied software.   
 

5.2.1 - Running the software 

 

1.  The runtime version is accessed via the start menu: 
 

Start > All Programs > GMW 5971 Reversal Switch V1_0> GMW Reversal Switch 
5971-160.exe 

 
2.  The source VIs are located in the directory c:\program files\GMW 5971 Reversal 

Switch V1_0\Source VI\.  Note that LabVIEW 8.6.1 or later is required to run, view 
or modify the source VIs.
