Introducing the Universal Library for LabVIEW™

With the Universal Library for LabVIEW (UL for LabVIEW) software, you can construct your own
LabVIEW programs using UL Extension VIs with supported Measurement Computing’s data acquisition and
control devices.

The UL for LabVIEW Extension VIs are supported with LabVIEW version 6 and greater.

The UL for LabVIEW includes a set of LabVIEW virtual instruments (VIs) that you use to construct your
own programs in LabVIEW using Measurement Computing’s data acquisition and control boards. Each low-
level VI corresponds to one UL function.

This manual details the syntax of each VI. Although the LabVIEW extensions closely follow the syntax of the
UL, there are some differences. For information on the UL functions, refer to the Universal Library Function
Reference (this manual is available on our web site at

www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-functions.pdf)

.

To use the UL with another language, refer to the Universal Library User's Guide (available on our web site at

www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf

) and the Universal Library Function Reference

(available on our web site at

www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-functions.pdf

).
