National Instruments LabVIEW™ Dynamometer Test Applications

Companion II dynamometer data acquisition system utilizes LabVIEW libraries
Companion II dynamometer test data acquisition system can utilize LabVIEW libraries provided by Dyne Systems.

Custom and Standard LabVIEW™ Libraries

For users who prefer National Instruments LabVIEW for your user interface, Dyne Systems has developed custom LabVIEW libraries for the Inter-Loc V multi-loop dynamometer and throttle controller; the XM100A 5-Gas Analyzer; and the Companion II data acquisition system.

In addition, the Companion III data acquisition system differs from Companion II in that it utilizes standard, rather than custom, LabVIEW libraries.

With the integration of LabVIEW as an alternative to Dyne Systems Cell Assistant, you now have choices. Consult with our sales staff to determine which best fits your testing needs, your preferences, and your budget.
