Aardvark LabVIEW Driver

The Aardvark LabVIEW Driver is a free and open-source LabVIEW Instrument Driver for accessing the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter within the LabVIEW development environment. The driver bundle is primarily targeted for Windows, although a Linux binary is provided with the package.

This driver is based on the Aardvark software library and provides all of the functions ordinarily available to a C language developer. Detailed documentation on the functionality of the Aardvark API can be found in the Aardvark datasheet.

The Aardvark LabVIEW Driver is provided as a courtesy for Total Phase customers. While it has been verified to be complete and functional, detailed support on the Aardvark LabVIEW driver will not be provided by Total Phase. With that said, any developer familiar with LabVIEW will find that the Aardvark LabVIEW Driver is quite easy to integrate into a LabVIEW design. The driver is also modifiable so that any potential customizations can be made by the end-users.
