LabJack plug-in

This sensor plug-in interfaces to a LabJack USB based multifunction data acquisition and control device. It lets you set voltages (up to 5V, limited due to the USB specifications), measure and read out voltages, program timers and much more.

Procedure

First install the LabJack drivers and software according to the manufacturer's guidelines and verify communication between the computer and the device using LabJack's software.

 

Download LabJackPython from http://labjack.com/support/labjackpython and unzip it into a new directory.

 

To install, navigate to the src directory, right-click on setup.py and select 'Edit' to open the file in the Vizard GUI. Vizard will detect the LabJackPython setup script and prompt you to install the package. Once it's installed, you should be able to import the LabJackPython modules and use their commands to communicate with your LabJack device in a Vizard script.

 

For help using the commands take a look at the documentation on the download page and the scripts in the LabJackPython example folder.
