picosdk-ni-labview-examples is a set of National Instruments LabVIEW examples for PicoScope^® oscilloscope and PicoLog^® data logger products.

Examples are provided as a set of LabVIEW vi and llb files grouped by driver name, with sub-folders for 32-bit and 64-bit examples.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Microsoft Windows

• National Instruments LabVIEW Base Development System 10 or later (32-bit or 64-bit)

Notes:

• Some files are saved with LabVIEW Base Development System 8.5 versions.

Example dependencies

Some example vi files require common sub-vi files (e.g. PicoScopeAdcToVolts.vi for conversion of ADC counts to volts) which can be located in the shared folder. If downloading files or the repository zip file you will need to download the contents of the shared folder from https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni-labview-shared. As this is a sub module. If using Git the command is- git submodule update --init --recursive
