The libraries turn RS-485 communication into a &#8220;drag-n-drop&#8221; coding process without worrying about synchronizing timing or remembering register addresses. Labor-saving, device-specific palettes of VIs provide quick access to the features you need. Friendly controls and typedefs save you from having to remember command options and interpreting responses.<\/p>\n<h4>Supports Red Lion<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Controls* CUB5 series panel meters including:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5 counter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5T timer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5V DC voltage meter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5I DC current meter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5RT temperature meter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlion.net\/panelmeters\/CUB5redirect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUB5P process meter (4\u201020mA)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>RS-485 serial port management<\/li>\n<li>Read and write input and setpoint variables<\/li>\n<li>Read rates and cycle counts<\/li>\n<li>Configure controller modes and settings<\/li>\n<li>Monitor alarm conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Applications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Tachometers, Flow meters, Scales<\/li>\n<li>Batch management<\/li>\n<li>Item counting<\/li>\n<li>Multiple configurations<\/li>\n<li>Supervisory control<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring and data acquisition<\/li>\n<li>Process control<\/li>\n<li>Laboratory test applications<\/li>\n<li>OEM software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>More Information:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Certified <strong>Compatible with LabVIEW<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>This library supports LabVIEW 8.0 and later<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/integratedpro.com\/content\/?p=697\">Learn about RS-485 serial communications<\/a><\/li>\n<li>View <a href=\"http:\/\/integratedpro.com\/content\/downloads\/Panel Meter Library for LabVIEW datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">datasheet<\/a> for this product<\/li>\n<li>Read about example applications in the <a href=\"http:\/\/integratedpro.com\/content\/index.php?cat=15\">Product Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<li>View <a href=\"index.php?cat=6\">User Manual, FAQs and other support information<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Related Product: <a href=\"index.php?page_id=41\">LabVIEW Process Controller Library<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Purchase<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>$79 CUB5 Series Communication VI Library<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can purchase the library either by clicking the button below to pay online (using Paypal), or if you prefer, you may <a href=\"index.php?page_id=6\">Contact Us<\/a> to arrange a purchase.
