Advanced VIs
Use the Advanced VIs to interact with legacy VIs and for low-level Ethernet and serial communication.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Open | Opens a communication session with the FieldPoint server and a specified .iak configuration file. |
| Create Tag | Creates a tag reference for the specified data item. |
| Close | Closes all communication resources in the associated .iak file and frees serial ports for other uses. |
| Get Configuration Info | Reads the FieldPoint configuration information from the .iak configuration file. It can be used to get a list of configured comm resources, devices, or items. |
| Advise (Polymorphic) | Asynchronously reads values from a FieldPoint item at a specified rate. |
| Subpalette | Description |
|---|---|
| Ethernet Advanced | Use the VIs on this subpalette to communicate with and configure FieldPoint Ethernet banks over the network from within LabVIEW. If you configured the FieldPoint Ethernet module in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), you do not need to use the Ethernet configuration VIs. |
| Publish Data | Use the VIs on this subpalette to share LabVIEW data between two FieldPoint RT controllers or a FieldPoint RT controller and a local computer. |
