LabView GUI Instructions for use with Pyramid devices
last updated 24 Mar 2015

SETUP:

1. Download and install the free open source CA Lab EPICS extension to LabView (http://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/CA_Lab/).

2. Download and extract the latest version of IG2 from Pyramid's website (http://www.ptcusa.com/downloads).

3. Edit the system.xml file included with this download to reflect the current IP address and name of your Pyramid device.

3. Once you have unzipped IG2, navigate to the service directory and replace system.xml with the system.xml file you have just updated from the .zip download in Step 3.

RUN:

1. Launch the IG2 executable. You should see a console window that will announce your device successfully.

2. Start LabView and run the included .vi file. Click "run" to begin seeing live signals from your device.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Please note that for some devices, not all features or channels are exposed via IG2/EPICS at this time. However, IG2 is under continuous development to broaden its coverage.

If you encounter any issues, have any questions, or would like to access a feature that is not currently exposed in IG2, please contact support@ptcusa.com.
