National Instruments 370578B-01 用户手册

Your kit includes either the NI-FBUS Communications Manager software, 
NI-FBUS Configurator software, or both. In addition, you can order the 
LabVIEW DSC, and/or Lookout from National Instruments. If you have 
not already done so, you also can order the NI-FBUS Configurator.

LabVIEW DSC helps you perform data acquisition and analysis, create a 
human-machine interface (HMI), or develop an advanced supervisory 
control application in a graphical development environment. 
LabVIEW DSC includes real-time process monitoring, historical trending, 
alarm and event reporting, online configuration, and PLC connectivity.

Lookout helps you create graphical representations on a computer screen 
of real-world devices such as switches, dial gauges, chart recorders, 
pushbuttons, knobs, sliders, and meters. After linking these images to your 
field instruments, you can configure Lookout to generate alarms, log data 
to disk, animate custom graphics, print reports, automatically adjust 
setpoints, historically trend information, warn operators of malfunctions, 
and so on.
