Can PATools support labview?

[johndoe81818]

Hi. I recently know about PAtools. And I think this is quite a good program.

However I am using Labview for my work. and Especially Labview custom device and real time function is important to me.

So before trying to use PATools I have to know does PATools support Labview's custom device?

Is there some one who used patools. please answer me.

Hi there:

yes PAtools does support Labview. It has LabVIEW plugin to support everything about Labview.

On the other side, which tests are you currently running and why do you want to use PAtools for those tests?

Basically what LabVIEW can do can be reproduced in PAtools.

Welcome to the PAtools forum!

PAtools supports LabVIEW integration using a standard plugin architecture. Any existing libraries or drivers (XNET, DAQmx, VISA etc.) that currently run on LabVIEW RT can be utilized in the plugin for PAtools. I built a training path to review the end-to-end workflow of integrating a third-party thermal chamber in PAtools using LabVIEW: https://github.com/ni/thermal-chamber-pbl/tree/main

I have migrated a VeriStand Custom Device to a LabVIEW plugin for PAtools, and it was relatively straightforward. Is there a particular device or interface you are interested in? If you are also interested in migrating simulation models from VeriStand, you could use the Model Interface Toolkit in a custom LabVIEW-based plugin for PAtools.
