KPCI-PIO96 User’s Manual
Installation
3-3
DriverLINX is essentially hardware independent, because its portable APIs work across various
operating systems. This capability eliminates unnecessary programming when changing
operating system platforms.
TestPoint
TestPoint is a fully featured, integrated application package that incorporates many commonly
used math, analysis, report generation, and graphics functions. TestPoint’s graphical drag-and-
drop interface can be used to create data acquisition applications, without programming, for
IEEE-488 instruments, data acquisition boards, and RS232-485 instruments and devices.
TestPoint includes features for controlling external devices, responding to events, processing
data, creating report files, and exchanging information with other Windows programs. It provides
libraries for controlling most popular GPIB instruments. OCX and ActiveX controls plug directly
into TestPoint, allowing additional features from third party suppliers.
LabVIEW
LabVIEW is a fully featured graphical programming language used to create virtual
instrumentation. It consists of an interactive user interface, complete with knobs, slides, switches,
graphs, strip charts, and other instrument panel controls. Its data driven environment uses
function blocks that are virtually wired together and pass data to each other. The function blocks,
which are selected from palette menus, range from arithmetic functions to advanced acquisition,
control, and analysis routines. Also included are debugging tools, help windows, execution
highlighting, single stepping, probes, and breakpoints to trace and monitor the data flow
execution. LabVIEW can be used to create professional applications with minimal programming.
Call Keithley technical support at (440) 248-1520 for current LabVIEW driver availability.
Installing DriverLINX
Refer to the manual that accompanies your DriverLINX software for installation instructions.
NOTE
Always install DriverLINX before installing the TestPoint UDO
(refer to next section) or the LabVIEW VIs. Both TestPoint and the
LabVIEW VIs use DriverLINX to access the board’s hardware
resources.
Installing the TestPoint User Defined Object (UDO)
The TestPoint Digital I/O object (DIO) cannot be used with the KPCI-PIO96 board. Instead,
Keithley provides a TestPoint User Defined Object (UDO) on the CD-ROM that contains this
manual. The TestPoint UDO provides the same features as the TestPoint DIO.
The TestPoint UDO installs automatically into your TestPoint folder when you install the CD-
ROM containing this manual. Also, the TestPoint UDO makes DriverLINX calls. Therefore, both
the TestPoint applications software and DriverLINX must be installed before installing the
TestPoint UDO.
To understand use of the TestPoint UDO, open the single example file in the Keithley\KPCIPIO
folder that has a .tst extension; this file is currently called pio-udo.tst.
Follow the TestPoint code
in the example file.
