Software and Drivers

The IVI standards define an open driver architecture, a set of instrument classes, and shared software components. Together these provide critical elements needed for instrument interchangeability. IVI drivers provide many capabilities that go beyond those of VXIplug&play drivers. The IVI specifications have been developed to enable drivers with a consistent and high standard of quality, usability, and completeness.

LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment used by millions of engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated measurement, test, and control systems using intuitive graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart.

LabWindows/CVI is a proven ANSI C integrated development environment that provides engineers and scientists with a comprehensive set of programming tools for creating test and control applications.

The Photovoltaic Power Profile Emulation (PPPE) software automatically calculates solar array voltage and current profiles based on user-defined parameters. These profiles can be sequentially sent to a Magna-Power Electronics' power supply, which will emulate defined characteristics. The user can define a limitless number of profiles to be emulated and sequenced over a given time period. Please refer to the PPPE Software product page for additional information.

The Remote Interface Software (RIS Panel) provides the user with an easy method to operate a Magna-Power Electronics' power supply under computer control, mirroring all the functionality available from the front panel.
