Example Code: Modbus Library for LabVIEW
The Modbus library is a FREE, downloadable set of virtual instrument function blocks that provide Modbus communication from any standard Ethernet or serial port. The LabVIEW Library implements the Modbus protocol in software and offers both master and slave functionality.
Download this example.
Example Code: NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras
NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras is a FREE software driver for acquiring images from any DirectShow imaging device into LabVIEW. These devices include USB cameras, Webcams, microscopes, scanners, and many consumer-grade imaging products. With the driver, you can configure your device and acquire images into LabVIEW.
Download this example.
Example Code: Port and Memory Utilities for Windows
With this example, you can call In Port and Out Port from Windows 98/95/NT. The in port and out port VIs in LabVIEW 7.x work with Windows 2000/XP. Their only limitation is that the memory range they can access is smaller (I16 versus U32). You can still install these utilities in Windows 2000/XP if you need the additional functionality.
