HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT A DAQ FOR OEM APP?

[FLAGGJSL]

Hello.

I am developing an OEM application with a USB6216 DAQ and I am wondering how to password protect it or block it so when I connect it to the computer, only my software stand-alone application developed in Labview can detect it, meaning I dont want it to be seen in the MAX or any other application. How can this be done? I have already seen that the VIs (software) can be password protected, but what about the DAQs (hardware)?

Thank you.

Sincerely
JSL

Hi JSL

One way could be creating a VI that opens the reference to a specific hardware you want to protect and saving the reference to a global variable. That VI must run once and when windows starts. If someone wants to use the resource, he will receive a message telling him that the resource is being used; if you want to use it, just call the global variable.

There is no a particular tool that permits to protect our hardware with password.

Hola JSL

Una manera podría ser creando un VI que abra la referencia al software en específico que deseas proteger y almacenar la referencia en una variable global. Dicho VI deberá correr una sola vez y que sea cuando arranque Windows.  Si alguien desea utilizar el recurso, el recibirá un mensaje avisándole que el recurso está en uso; si tú lo deseas usar, solo manda llamar a la variable global.

No existe una herramienta en particular que permita proteger a nuestro hardware con contraseña.
