Scripting APIs

Scripting APIs use LabVIEW VIs to configure custom devices in a VeriStand system definition file.

Depending on how much functionality was made available through scripting, users can change basic settings or fully configure a custom device. You can develop a scripting API to create flexible and reusable system definition files.

NI Supported Scripting APIs

NI has developed scripting APIs for some custom devices.

One example is the FPGA Addon Scripting API. The following image displays how the API appears in LabVIEW.

The following custom devices also have a scripting API.

• Instrument Addon Scripting API
  

• Routing and Faulting Scripting API
  

• Engine Simulation Toolkit Scripting API
  

• Communications Bus Template Scripting API
  

• Ballard ARINC 429 Scripting API
  

• Ballard MIL-STD-1553 Scripting API
