Subject: LabVIEW Channel Access Client

For all the people who are interested in using LabVIEW for Channel Access data display I have created a little demo to show how LabVIEW could be used. I think it would help deciding on the specs to give to NI when they will integrate CA and LabVIEW. It is built on top of Andrei Liyu's CA client and requires virtually no programming to get a display with live data.
It is very EDM like in that you just put an indicator like a waveform graph on the front-panel, give it the name of an EPICS PV, save and close the panel. You can then run the panel by selecting it from a list in the start screen utility. This utility, creates a background task that will scan the PVs and send data to the indicators on the front-panel. It is in the early stages and supports only a limited number of LabVIEW's graphs and indicators (waveform, chart, table, single indicators of float type). You can also do settings and add program code to analyze the data or save to disk. Currently, it can only scan PVs not monitor. The code should work on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X and requires LabVIEW 7.


Dave Purcell can hopefully demo this to the EPICS conference goers.
