PASCO and LabView

The NI ELVIS is used to control the Fan Accessory based on measurements from the Force Sensor.


ScienceWorkshop sensors can now be used with National Instruments LabView 7+ in one of two configurations:

  1. A Windows PC or Macintosh via the National Instruments™ Educational Laboratory Virtual Instruments Suite (NI ELVIS) using one of the following adapters:

    1. Analog ScienceWorkshop Sensor Adapter (CI-6718)
    2. Digital ScienceWorkshop Sensor Adapter (CI-6719)

    and one of the following free Virtual Instrument Libraries:

    1. PASCO-Elvis Virtual Instrument Library for Windows (.zip file "PASCO.llb" - 1.4 MB)
    2. PASCO-Elvis Virtual Instruments for Macintosh (.sit file "PASCO.llb" - 1.3 MB)


  2. Or limited support is provided on a Windows PC via one of the the following interface:
     
    1. ScienceWorkshop 750, USB (CI-7650)  

    and the following download:

    • SW750Bridge.zip (zip file, 1.1 MB). Includes a LabView Library file, "PASCOSW750.llb," and a .dll file, "SW750Bridge.dll."

    In configuration 2 the following capabilities are available:
    • 1 motion sensor
    • Photogate timing on all 4 channels (not available with other inputs active).
    • Analog sensor input sampling at <50 Hz on channels A, B and C

    Configuration 2 does not support the following:
