LabVIEW iPort/AI Driver Library

LabVIEW^TM iPort/AI Driver Library

Part Number #202-SDKW-LV

Our LabVIEW iPort/AI Driver Library is designed to assist LabVIEW developers in integrating I²C Bus capabilities into test and control applications. This library includes a set of LabVIEW VIs (Virtual Instruments) for configuring and controlling our ASCII interface I²C Bus host adapters as a bus master or slave device. Also included with the library are several LabVIEW introductory projects to help understand basic concepts, and two full-featured LabVIEW utility programs for communicating with I²C Bus devices.

LabVIEW™ is the industry standard integrated development environment for test and control. MCC’s LabVIEW™ iPort/AI Driver Library accelerates the development and deployment of systems incorporating I²C and SMBus small area networks for configuration, testing, control, security, and monitoring activities.

Sample I²C Master Transmit Sequence

The LabVIEW drivers are implemented as standard LabVIEW VI's, and by default are installed in the <LabVIEW>instr.lib folder. This means that the iPort VI's appear on the Functions palette in LabVIEW, and can easily be added to an application's block diagram.

	LabVIEW iPort/AI Library VI’s
	Close I²C Connection (Ccmd) VI Causes the adapter to disconnect from the I2C Bus.
	Set Destination Slave Address (Dcmd) VI Sets the I²C Bus destination slave address for subsequent Master Transmit or Master Receive messages sent by the adapter.
	General Call Enable (Gcmd) VI Enables or disables the adapter's addressed slave response to the General Call (0x00) address.
	Hex Only Display (Hcmd) VI Controls how the adapter will send master or slave receive message data to its host computer.
	Set Own Slave Address (Icmd) VI Sets the adapter's own slave address.
	Byte Array to Hex-equivalent String.vi Convert a single-dimension byte array into a compatible Hex-equivalent string.
	EventHandler V01.10 VI Monitors the host adapter serial link for responses.
	String To Byte Array.vi Convert a Hex-equivalent string into a one-dimensional byte array.
	Open Connection (Ocmd) VI Establishes the link between the host computer and the adapter.
	Master Read Message (Rcmd) VI Read the specified number of data bytes from the currently selected Destination slave address.
	Reset VI Causes the adapter to re-boot and revert to its default state.
	Slave Transmit Message (Scmd) VI Causes the adapter to write specific data bytes to the requesting I²C Bus Master Receiver device.
	Master Transmit Message (Tcmd) VI Write the specified data bytes to the currently selected Destination slave address.
