VTI EX 1266 Examples

Hello,

 

I have VTI instruments products for setup a DAQ system. In fact, there is a EX-1200 mainfram, EX-1200 3096 multiplexer and EX-1200 TB200. VTI provides some Labview drivers. However there is no example about these products. My problem is using dll s since drivers provided by VTI includes dlls. I couldnt use their examples also. by the way the communication interface between pc and EX-1200 is ethernet. The device has a instrument name as TCPIP::..:: INSTR. Can anybody help me or share ideas with me ?

Hi Veli,

 

It looks like you are using serial VISA communication over Ethernet. The dots between TCPIP and INSTR is your IP.

Below is a tutorial you can use to understand how to call DLLs in LabVIEW and once you are comfortable use the DLLs provided by the driver.

 

Alternatively, you can use VISA functions to communicate with the device however you will not be able to get full functionality as compared to using DLLs provided by VTI

Below is an example of using VISA in LabVIEW and there are a lot more examples on the NI Forums.
