Using NI VMS in LabVIEW

Using NI VMS in LabVIEW

This topic assumes that you are using LabVIEW to manage your code development and that you are familiar with the ADE.

To develop an NI VMS application in LabVIEW, follow these general steps:

1. Open a new or existing LabVIEW virtual instrument (VI).
2. From the Functions palette, select Multimedia Test»NI VMS to access the NI VMS API.
3. Select the VIs that you want to use and add them to the block diagram to build your application.

Example Programs

You can use the NI Example Finder to search or browse examples. NI VMS examples are classified by keyword, so you can search for a particular device or measurement function.

To browse the NI VMS examples available in LabVIEW, launch LabVIEW, click Find Examples, select Directory Structure in the Browse tab, and select NI VMS.

For additional information about NI VMS examples, refer to Examples.
