Working with ascension-tech 6-DOF sensors

[GSlota]

I have ascension-tech's motion star system. I am trying to use LabView as the main interface program. I however can not get past the hurdle of communicating with the individual cards. We know that there will be drivers and commands, but being that they are not standard with LabView, we are stuck. I am just looking for anyone who has delt with this application of any of ascension's bird products.

Hi,

It is not clear to me to what exactly are you trying to communicate or control. Is it a PCI board?.

LabVIEW has several options to communicate with external device or applications.

Assuming the device uses a device driver, this driver will most likely provide language interface files for C, in the form of a dll. LabVIEW has a Library Function Call Node that allows you to call C functions from LabVIEW. You can them wrap the function calls in VIs that you can use in your application VIs.

Check the LabVIEW Support page for more info.
