Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to introduce an implementation of MathLink in LabVIEW and to demonstrate how this link will provide a whole new environment to develop instrumentation applications. Its ease of use is illustrated by three implementations of a simple robotic experiment. The link which is based on the complementarity of the two components, results in a great added-value. Some benchmark results are presented in order to appreciate the possibility to implement some real-time control algorithms in Mathematica. 1 Tools Overview Before anything else, it is necessary to introduce to Mathematica users the tools that will be used in this paper: LabVIEW, the desktop mobile robot Khepera, and the LabVIEW implementation of MathLink. 1.1 LabVIEW LabVIEW, or Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workben |
