With OSIsoft Academic Hub LabVIEW Toolkit, every LabVIEW VI can be easily augmented to store data on OSIsoft industrial-grade real-time data infrastructure.
OSIsoft Academic Hub provides a low-friction solution to tie together the 3 main phases of every experiments:- Data collection: Academic Hub only campus software footprint is the Academic Hub LabVIEW Toolkit to modify existing LabVIEW VI for ACS
- Data Visualization: using PI Vision, a field-tested HTML5 visualization tool running on any devices down to smartphones
- Data Access: for analysis, either through Academic Hub data portal or REST API to interface with tools like Mathlab, R and Python.
The OSIsoft Academic Hub Toolkit comes with sample Virtual Instruments (VI) like SampleSignals.vi which block diagram is shown below:
- Init VI and Info Control: the sensor data configuration is extracted directly from the block diagram.
- Collect VI: to collect and identify the data streams. Auxiliary VIs are provided to connect to other sources of data (e.g. arrays).
- Close VI: upon completion of the application, memory resource created are reclaimed.
The associated front panel with description of data extracted from the block diagram sent to the Academic Hub:
