There are many VI's on the web for Eurotherm. I would check these five
places
1. Gary Johnsons book comes with a CD which had VI's (fairly certain of
that)
2. Info-LabVIEW mail list and VI archive http://labview.pica.army.mil/
3. SStreams webpages http://www.e-notebooks.com/resources/LabVIEW/
4. http://labview.sandkasse.dk/
5. David Moore's compilation of links to free VI's
http://www.mooregoodideas.com/
I would stick with Eurotherm approach, since that already works and requires
only drivers. Why reinvent the oscilloscope if you have already have it in
lab, so to say. In many cases dedicated hardware is simpler, faster and
equally effective.
Hope it helped,
