Soft Panels

To control the Switch product with a LabVIEW™ Soft Panel, you will need to have setup the chassis /
instrument as a TCP/IP Resource as shown in Section 10.1.
1. Download the LabVIEW zip file from the Quantifi Photonics website. This contains all the Soft
Panels and Virtual Instruments (VIs) for Quantifi Photonics PXIe modules.
2. Open the Control Panels folder and select the corresponding Soft Panel for the desired PXIe
module / MATRIQ instrument. Because these are executables, they will need LabVIEW Runtime
Engine 2015 to run.
If LabVIEW Runtime Engine 2015 is not present, a system dialog will pop up. To proceed
download the Runtime Engine (more information on LabVIEW website).
3. Once the desired executable has been run, select the VISA Resource corresponding to the
intended instrument.
Note this step depends on the setup process shown in Section 10.1. If the instrument has not been setup,
then the Soft Panel cannot be used.
