LabVIEW integration with the JNIOR

Written by Kevin Cloutier on Dec 9, 2025 2:50 pm

A Library has been written, and Virtual Instruments have been designed, to allow a user to easily integrate and use the JNIOR.

What is LabVIEW?

LabVIEW stands for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench.  LabView is a graphical programming environment.  It favors a flow chart like environment where users can connect virtual wires to control the program flow.  This differs from text based programming.

 

How does LabVIEW work?

LabVIEW requires a computer running the LabVIEW application.  A Virtual Instrument, or VI for short, is designed using a drag-and-drop style editor and then the computer will execute the compiled code.  The VI is compiled with each change.

Example

Here is an example of a Block Diagram in LabVIEW.  This example will connect to a JNIOR with the given IP Address and credentials and then read the temperature every 5 seconds.
