FieldPoint VIs

FieldPoint LabView Interface

FieldPoint VIs

Use the FieldPoint VIs located on the Functions»Measurement I/O»FieldPoint palette to interact with FieldPoint devices.


Palette Object Description
IO Point References a FieldPoint item configured in LabVIEW or Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). A FieldPoint item represents a channel or group of channels on a FieldPoint module.
Read (Polymorphic) Reads a single set of values from a FieldPoint item.
Write (Polymorphic) Asynchronously writes to a FieldPoint item when used with an FieldPoint Ethernet module. Synchronously writes to a FieldPoint item when used with a FieldPoint serial module or when running embedded on a FieldPoint RT controller.
Write/Read (Polymorphic) Asynchronously writes to and reads from FieldPoint items when used with a FieldPoint Ethernet module. Synchronously writes to and reads from FieldPoint items when used with a FieldPoint serial module and when running embedded on a FieldPoint RT controller. When running embedded on a FieldPoint RT controller, this VI provides better performance than separate FP Read and FP Write VIs.
Express Reads from or writes to channels on FieldPoint modules. The physical channels on the hardware are referred to as items in software.


Subpalette Description
Advanced Use the Advanced VIs located on the FieldPoint»Advanced palette to interact with legacy VIs and for low-level Ethernet and serial communication.
