NI 7340 User Manual and Specifications
National Instruments Application Software
LabVIEW is based on the graphical programming language, G, and features interactive graphics
and a state-of-the-art user interface. In LabVIEW, you can create 32-bit compiled programs and
stand-alone executables for custom automation, data acquisition, test, measurement, and control
solutions. National Instruments offers the NI-Motion driver software support for LabVIEW,
which includes a series of virtual instruments (VIs) for using LabVIEW with National
Instruments motion control hardware. The NI-Motion VI library implements the NI-Motion API
and a powerful set of demo functions; example programs; and fully operational, high-level
application routines.
ANSI C-based LabWindows/CVI also features interactive graphics and a state-of-the-art user
interface. Using LabWindows/CVI, you can generate C code for custom data acquisition, test,
and measurement and automation solutions. NI-Motion includes a series of sample programs for
using LabWindows/CVI with National Instruments motion control hardware.
NI Motion Assistant offers a point-and-click interface for creating motion control sequences
quickly and easily. When you have created a motion task, you can use Motion Assistant to output
the task in LabVIEW or C code or code recipes.
