The VIs have all been used to create an example software. The front panel of this example is shown
below.
Figure 7-1 - Beamage-3.0 LabVIEW Example
The example is written to be easy to use and understand so as to aid in the development of custom
LabVIEW software. It uses an event structure to show the various controls. To use the example:
1. Copy the VIs into the folder of your choice, along with the supplied DLL file.
2. Start LabVIEW and run the example VI.
3. The VI will check to ensure the DLL is present. A warning will be issued if it cannot be located,
and the required location will be displayed. Place the DLL in that location.
4. Plug a Beamage-3.0 Camera into a USB port on the PC in use. Start PC-Beamage-3.0 and let it
connect to the camera.
5. Under the Show/Hide Options menu item, select Start LabVIEW Pipeline. The PC-Beamage-3.0
software will verify the connection. You may now minimize the PC-Beamage-3.0 software as
LabVIEW can now control the functions.
