Drivers for Connecting HBM Data Acquisition to 3rd Party PC Software

HBM provides an open data acquisition eco system, to enable customers and partners to integrate the powerful data acquisition solutions into basically any PC software or system. Therefore, HBM offers native drivers and interfaces for the most common PC software packages. In addition some software providers offer their own drivers.

HBM Drivers & API

LabVIEW software helps visualizing your application, including hardware configuration and measurement data. The graphical programming approach makes it easy to implement the precise HBM DAQ systems. Choose from three different LabVIEW Drivers:

1. HBM LabVIEW Driver for QuantumX, SomatXR, PMX, and MGCplus:

  • User-friendly encapsulation of the device functions in VIs (Virtual Instruments)
  • Data from multiple devices and channels can be acquired with only eight VIs
  • VIs available complete with user interfaces for device scan and channel selection
  • Commented examples and documentation for easy introduction

Customers of these HBM DAQ systems benefit twice: General commands such as device scan, channel selection, and measurement are the same for these systems so no re-programming of these components is required when changing over to new hardware.

2. LabVIEW Driver for Genesis HighSpeed and Perception

  • Perception RPC/COM API: Control HBM's Perception software and the Genesis HighSpeed hardware including an ActiveX interface.
  • GEN DAQ API: Direct integration of the Genesis HighSpeed hardware into LabVIEW. This allows access to hardware settings like acquisition control or loading/saving configurations.

3. LabVIEW Driver for PACEline CMD600

Functionality is provided in LabVIEW through VIs. The driver is provided for free in the PACEline CMD600 download section with an example and documentation.

Further Integration Possibilites

QuantumX and SomatXR offer the integration into various software packages via standard interfaces:

  • Analog output: QuantumX MX878B
  • CAN / CAN-FD: QuantumX MX471C, SomatXR MX471C-R
  • EtherCAT, PROFINET IRT: QuantumX CX27C, SomatXR CX27C-R
  • XCP-on-Ethernet: QuantumX CX27C, SomatXR CX27-R (INCA, CANape, ControlDesk, Vision, DiagRA X)

Further Drivers from Software Providers

The following HBM partners offer their own drivers with software packages for download:

  • MATLAB: Integration of QuantumX
  • jBeam: Integration of QuantumX
  • DASYLab: Integration of QuantumX
  • DASYLab: Integration of MGCplus
  • MLab: Integration of QuantumX, PMX and MGCplus
