This section describes the procedure to install the Vortex DDS LabVIEW Integration on a Linux or Windows platform.
Steps:
/INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/license
Example: /INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/Device/VortexOpenSplice/6.9.x/HDE/x86_64.linux/tools/labview
By default OSPL uses single process configuration.
Open a command shell and navigate to
/INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/Device/VortexOpenSplice/6.9.x/HDE/x86_64.linux/tools/labview
Unzip the “adlink-dds-labview-linux-install.tar.gz”.
Run the install_vortex_dds_ubuntu.sh script as a super user.
sudo ./install_vortex_dds_ubuntu.sh
NOTE: The installer sets the default LabVIEW installation path to /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-2017-64. To override this installation directory, run the install script and pass the install directory as an argument:
sudo ./install_vortex_dds_ubuntu.sh /path/to/your/LabVIEW/installation
LabVIEW will open and allow the installation Virtual Instrument (VI) run to completion.
After the installation is complete close LabVIEW. Installation takes effect the next time you start LabVIEW.
In a file browser, navigate to
/INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/Device/VortexOpenSplice/6.9.x/HDE/x86_64.windows/tools/labview
Double click on the file “adlink_lib_vortexdds-1.0.0.1”. This will bring up the VI Package Manager installer dialog box. Select the LabVIEW version to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Select Install.
Steps:
Open command shell and run script to setup environment variables.
Linux
Open a Linux terminal.
Navigate to directory containing release.com file.
/INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/Device/VortexOpenSplice/6.9.x/HDE/x86_64.linux
Run release.com. (Type in “. release.com” at command line.)
Windows
Open a command prompt.
Navigate to directory containing release.bat file.
INSTALLDIR/ADLINK/Vortex_v2/Device/VortexOpenSplice/6.9.x/HDE/x86_64.win64
Run release.bat. (Type in “release.bat” at command line.)
Start LabVIEW using the SAME command shell used in Step 1.
NOTE: If LabVIEW is NOT started from a command shell with the correct OSPL environment variables set, errors will occur when attempting to use DDS LabVIEW virtual instruments.
