Primary Features:

• More than 75 low-level LabVIEW VIs implementing MathLink functions in LabVIEW.
  
  
• More than 50 high and intermediate-level LabVIEW VIs illustrating how the low-level functions can be combined to achieve specific results.
  
  
• 5 high-level VIs that require no modification to achieve several of the most common MathLink objectives including:
  
  
  • Dynamically opening and running LabVIEW VIs from inside a Mathematica notebook
  • Acquiring data using LabVIEW, then processing it interactively in a Mathematica notebook
  • Passing parameters and results from one application to the other.
  • Sending scripts and numeric computations from LabVIEW to the MathKernel for evaluation
  • Graphing and visualizing LabVIEW data or abstract functions using the MathKernel, then displaying the results directly on a LabVIEW panel.
  • Sophisticated, run-time processing of LabVIEW parameters by the MathKernel
  • Exporting LabVIEW data using one of several standard publication-quality graphics formats.
  • and more.
    
    
• Complete, unrestricted access to all VI diagrams and the 'VIClient.m' module. End-users can modify all toolkit elements as necessary to precisely match their requirements.

Usability and Workflow Features:

• Direct access to all toolkit VIs through the User Library of the LabVIEW Functions palette,
  
  
• Direct access to the most useful intermediate and high-level VIs through the LabVIEW Tools menu.
  
  
• Electronic documentation available through the LabVIEW and Mathematica Help menus.
  
  
• Complete LabVIEW application examples demonstrating the high-level VIs in action including:
  
  
  • a simple process simulation and control demo
  • 'Mathematica Shape Explorer.vi'- a visualization demo
  • 'Generate Mathematica Graphics file.vi' - demonstrating inter-applcation graphic generation and export functions
  • a robotic control demo based on the Khepera robot
  • a step-by-step example following the evolution of a project using a hybrid LabVIEW/Mathematica workflow.
  • and more

New Features in version 2.0:

• All components updated for compatibility with Mathematica 4.x/5.0 and LabVIEW 6.x/7.0
  
  
• New demo material including:
  
  
  • a new simulation and PID control demo
  • a new Mathematica Shape Explorer Demo
  • a new Mathematica Graphics File export demo
  • a new notebook demo illustrating how to apply Mathematica curve-fitting and data-smoothing functions to LabVIEW-acquired data
    
    
• Functions palette items have been reorganized to improve usability.
  
  
• Convenient Tools menu functionality of previous versions has been improved and expanded through the use of a new VI Server aliasing scheme. (Duplicate copies of high-level VIs have now been removed from LabVIEW Project folder to eliminate VI versioning conflicts that could arise in previous Link releases.)
  
  
• Complete contents of the updated hard-copy manual is now available in a searchable, indexed .pdf file - easily accessed from the LabVIEW Help menu.
  
  
• Several intermediate and upper-level VI diagrams have been optimized.
  
  
• Innovative, new LabVIEW-based installer VI

Mathematica Link for LabVIEW Version 2.0 is fully compatible with Mathematica 5* and LabVIEW 7 Express. The minimum requirements are Mathematica 4.1 or higher and LabVIEW 6.0 or higher running on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/XP or Macintosh and is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/XP and pre-OSX** Macintosh platforms. (Support for previous LabVIEW and Mathematica versions is available for a limited number of configurations. Contact BetterVIEW for details.)

*Users planning to develop custom MathLink-enabled Notebooks using Mathematica 5 are directed to this application note.

** "Mathematica Link for LabVIEW" can also run under MacOSX "Classic" mode. Contact BetterVIEW for details.
