Advanced VIs

FieldPoint LabView Interface

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.
