Download the free SCADA Tool Kit Demo program for Windows and LabVIEW 5.1.  The demo file is (5.4 mbytes self-extracting *.zip file). It includes the SCADA Tool Kit User's Manual and other documentation. It will create a directory structure on your disk containing hundreds of LabVIEW programs. The Historian function requires a password; you may use 20002911 until the end of 2004. The demo program is identical to the full SCADA Tool Kit, except that: 1) it will only operate for a limited amount of time before automatically shutting down, and 2) some VI diagrams are password protected.  We have updated the Tool Kit to run in LabVIEW version 7.0 and it contains several new advancements and features.  Please call 908 359-1011, in the USA, if you would like to purchase the newer version.

Download the User's Manual for the SCADA Tool Kit for LabVIEW 6.1 (to be released in November 2002).  The file is a 1526 kbytes zip file.

Download an example LabVIEW 5.1 program (287 kbytes self-extracting *.exe zip file) that illustrates a flexible, multi-window programming structure. This program shows a method of coordinating local discrete and continuous variables with their counterparts in global variables and runtime menus. The program saves the last state of all global controls to a file when quitting and recalls them when it is restarted. You can use this technique to control the activities of several LabVIEW programs that are executing simultaneously, each in it's own dynamic window. This allows the opening and closing of multiple LabVIEW windows (VIs) that all use the same global data in their calculations.

Download a robust Serial Port driver (128 kbytes *.zip file). This LabView version 6.0 program uses the basic serial port VIs, and not VISA. The smart read algorithm first waits, an input amount of time, for data to start appearing at the port. It then waits for data to stop, for an input amount of time, or until a stop character or string is detected. The intercharacter wait is automatically calculated from the baud rate. It is programmed to handle up to 16 com ports.

Download a program (155 kbytes *.exe file) that shows how to create a multi-color waterfall plot. It uses a novel technique to quickly color each individual plot without having to redraw each plot as the colors are applied.

Download a LabVIEW v6.0.2 program (133 kbytes *.exe file) that shows how to create a plot that changes colors when high and low alarm limits are exceeded. It also demonstrates how timestamped data [i.e (y,t) points] can be buffered and displayed on LabVIEW XY graphs.

Download a LabVIEW v6.0.2 program (195 kbytes *.zip file) that shows how to create a single trend plot that changes colors when high and low alarm limits are exceeded. This is a variation of the above download. Two plots are shown, one vertical and one horizontal. A second example demonstrates how single and multiple timestamped data [i.e (y,t) points] can be buffered and displayed on LabVIEW XY graphs. The trend buffers can limit the number of points and the total timespan of the plot.

Download a "Rainbow Generator" LabVIEW v6.1 program (34 kbytes *.zip file) that creates and output array of up to 255 colors for use in coloring images or multiple plots.
