7.1 LabVIEW
LabVIEW is a system-design platform and development
environment and is ideal for acquiring, analyzing, and
presenting data. LabVIEW provides a graphical
development environment that allows you to drag and
drop pre-built objects to quickly create data acquisition,
instrumentation and control systems, thereby boosting
productivity and reducing development time. LabVIEW
makes it possible to quickly create user interfaces that
enable interactive control of software systems then
specify the functionality of your system, by simply assembling a block diagram, which is a natural
design notation for scientists and engineers.
A document that describes how to link LabVIEW to a PETL/tET/tPET device using the Modbus protocol

7.2 OPC Server
OPC (OLE for Process Control) was the first standard resulting from the collaboration of a number of
leading worldwide automation suppliers working in cooperation with Microsoft. Originally based on
Microsoft's OLE COM (Component Object Model) and DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model)
technologies, the specification defines a standard set of objects, interfaces and methods for use in
process control and manufacturing automation applications to facilitate interoperability.
A wide range of different mechanisms are provided by various vendors that allow access to a variety
of devices via specific applications. However, if an OPC server is provided for the device, other
applications will also be able to access the device via the OPC interface.
