4 Write Your Own Application
In order to write your own application, you need a specific instrument driver and some tools for
use in different programming environments. The driver and tools are being installed to your
computer during software installation and cannot be found in the installation package.
In this section the location of drivers and files, required for programming in different environ-
ments, are given for installation under Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit).
In order to fully support 64 bit LabView version, the installation offers an installer:
·
for Windows 8.1 (32/64 bit) and Windows 10 (32/64 bit): Install "upSERIES_Setup.exe"
In other words, the 32 bit VXIpnp driver works with both 32 and 64 bit operating systems, while
the 64 bit driver requires a 64 bit operating system.
Note
upLED™ and drivers contains 32 bit and 64 bit applications.
In 32 bit systems, only the 32 bit components are installed to
C:\Program Files\...
In 64 bit systems the 64 bit components are being installed to
C:\Program Files\...
while 32 bit components can be found at
C:\Program Files (x86)\...
In the table below you will find an overview of the files you need for particular programming en-
vironments.
