Integration of Analog Discovery 3 (Pro Bundle) with LabVIEW

[VikasND]

Hello NI Community,

I’m currently working with the Analog Discovery 3 Pro Bundle and would like to integrate it with LabVIEW for data acquisition and signal analysis tasks. I’m reaching out to seek guidance or examples on how best to achieve this integration.

Here's what I’ve done so far:

• Installed the WaveForms software and verified that the device is functioning correctly.
• Installed LabVIEW 2023 Q3 and the Digilent WaveForms SDK.
• Attempted to use the Call Library Function Node to interface with the WaveForms DLL, but I’m encountering issues with parameter mapping and data types.

My setup:

• Hardware: Analog Discovery 3 Pro Bundle
• Software: LabVIEW 2023 Q3 (64-bit), WaveForms 3.21.2
• OS: Windows 11 Pro
• Drivers: Latest Digilent drivers installed

Issues:

• Difficulty in configuring the correct function signatures for DLL calls.
• Lack of clear documentation or examples for LabVIEW integration.

Request:

• Has anyone successfully integrated AD3 with LabVIEW?
• Are there any VI examples or wrapper libraries available?
• Any tips on handling waveform acquisition and streaming in LabVIEW?

Hi

You need to install software from VIPM.

For the first time in many years, a new LabVIEW support package were introduced to support AD3 :

Good to know there is an update. I used the previous version with an AD3 before the package update came out and had no major difficulties.

Here is a link to the package: https://www.vipm.io/package/digilent_waveforms_vis/

You can get support from Digilent forum.

Digilent WaveForms VIs Documentation

Use the Digilent WaveForms VIs and functions to develop instrumentation, acquisition, and control applications. This page provides comprehensive documentation on each VI in the Digilent WaveForms VIs package. For more information on the use of these VIs, refer to guides and examples listed on the LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit resource center.
