OpenDSS Library x86 by Electric Power Research Institute - Toolkit for LabVIEW Download. 0 25 Version: 1.0.0.17: Released: Feb 09, 2017: Publisher. PARMA, Italy, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the LabVIEW Electrical Power Suite, a new toolkit specific to the power industry.With this toolkit.

Overview

The Electrical Power Toolkit provides VIs that you can use to create applications that measure, analyze, monitor, and record electrical power data and phenomena. Use the Power Measurement VIs to measure electrical power parameters and to perform harmonic analysis on the CompactRIO platform, the CompactDAQ system, and the NI PXI platform. Use the Power Quality VIs to perform power quality measurement on the CompactRIO platform, the CompactDAQ system, and the NI PXI platform. Use the Synchrophasor VIs to perform synchrophasor measurement and use the Protection VIs to implement protection devices on the CompactRIO platform. Use the EV Power Test VIs to perform three-phase power measurement and battery power measurement on electric and hybrid electric vehicle components.

The Electrical Power Toolkit complies with the following standards:

Windows Server 2012 R2¹
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1²

¹ NI software installs VC2015 Runtime and .NET 4.6.2. Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 require Microsoft updates to support these items. Refer to Microsoft KB2919442 and KB2919355 for more information about how to install these updates.

² NI software is signed with a SHA-256 certificate. Windows 7 SP1, Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 require Microsoft updates to support SHA-256. Refer to Microsoft KB3033929 for more information about how to install this security update.

Note Refer to Electrical Power Toolkit Drops Support for Windows 7 (32- and 64-Bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, and All 32-Bit Windows Operating Systems in 2021 for information about future OS support.

Note In 2016 the LabVIEW Electrical Power Toolkit dropped support for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and installations of Windows 7 without any service packs. The LabVIEW 2019 Electrical Power Toolkit will not install or run on an unsupported OS. You cannot deploy or distribute applications that use the LabVIEW 2019 Electrical Power Toolkit to an unsupported OS. Additionally, after installing the LabVIEW 2019 Electrical Power Toolkit, you cannot use any installers built on this computer with any version of LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, NI TestStand™, or Measurement Studio on an unsupported OS.

For more information about the changes to our OS support for 2016, refer to Why Does My NI ADE Installer Fail on Windows XP/Vista and Windows Server 2003?.

Note Support for Windows 32-bit operating systems may require disabling physical address extension (PAE). To learn how this might affect your system and what actions you might need to take, visit ni.com/r/PAESupport.

Installation Instructions

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

For more information about silent installations of individual NI products, refer to Customize and Automate Installation of a Single Installer.
For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Software Platform Bundle, refer to Customize and Automate Installation of a Suited Installer.
To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to Determine Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 8.1

When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX), and NI Launcher. For more information about NI support for Windows 8.1, visit ni.com/windows8.

Electrical Power Toolkit Drops Support for Windows 7 (32- and 64-Bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, and All 32-Bit Windows Operating Systems in 2021

The Electrical Power Toolkit will drop support for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, and all 32-bit Windows operating systems starting in 2021.
