Before Getting Started
Installation
DCFG - DQMH Configuration Editor consists of tree components:
-
The DCFG Toolkit (this is the DQMH Module to configure your DQMH Projects)
-
The CML with DCFG Project Template (optional)
-
The CML with Custom DCFG Project Template (optional)
| There is a Free version and a Paid version of the DCFG toolkit. Get mor informtion on this specific topic in the F.A.Q |
Examples to Familiarize Yourself with DCFG
There are three projects to help you navigate, understand, and play with DCFG before adding it to your existing code.
Example Project
The Example Project is a high-level introduction on how to add configuration pages to the DCFG Editor for DQMH and Non-DQMH libaries. It also shows how the DCFG API Tester can be used in your projects as a sniffer and how your individual API Testers can help you play/test/navigate the configuration for each DQMH Module.
The example project demonstrates handling configurations for:
-
2 Singleton DQMH Modules
-
1 Cloneable DQMH Module
-
1 Non-DQMH Configuration
-
2 Different Configuration UIs formats (Default, Blue Silver UI)
Go to LabVIEW menu and search for DCFG
Template projects
Create a new project sarting from one of these two templates.
| If you are not familiar with the DQH CML project template, review that one first, and then see how we replaced the Settings Editor with the DCFG. |
CML with DCFG Project Template
This is the classic Continuous Measurement and Logging Project Template that is being shipped with LabVIEW and DQMH over the years. In this project template, the Settings Editor was replaced with DCFG.
It shows how DCFG can be introduced to an existing application.
CML with Custom DCFG Project Template
This is the same project as the CML with DCFG Project Template that demonstrates how you can customize the configuration window, from setting different attributes, to create a completely different user interface and changing how the configuration is stored on disk by overriding certain methods.
