Problem: What's new in HiQ 4.5? Solution: This is a brief overview of the new features in HiQ 4.5: DataSocket Browser and Live Data Connectivity A DataSocket server is an application that accepts and stores information from data sources and relays it to other destinations. Because HiQ has built-in DataSocket connectivity, you can send or retrieve data from DataSocket servers on the same computer or on other computers connected though a TCP network, such as the Internet. The DataSocket browser in the HiQ Explorer allows you to connect to and browse all the data objects published by any DataSocket server on the network. Once connected to a DataSocket server, you can publish data (copy a HiQ object to the server) or subscribe to data (copy server data to a HiQ Notebook) on that server. All published and subscribed data are updated automatically when their values change. To publish a HiQ object to a server using the DataSocket browser, drag the desired object from the Notebook Objects list and drop it on the desired server. HiQ sets the properties on the object to update the server automatically when the object's values change. To subscribe to a DataSocket item using the DataSocket browser, drag the desired object from the desired server list to the Object list of the desired Notebook (to create the object only) or the Notebook page (to create and view the object). HiQ sets the properties on the object to update the object's values automatically when the DataSocket server object changes. You can also publish and subscribe to objects on a DataSocket server without explicitly browsing the server in the DataSocket Explorer. Using the object property pages, go to the DataSocket page and enter the desired DataSocket URL. In HiQ-Script, use the objects properties to automatically do the same thing. An object can have both a source link and a destination link. External Data Connectivity In addition to DataSocket server connectivity, National Instruments DataSocket technology provides connectivity to several other types of data sources (read access) and data destinations (write access) – including files, HTTP/FTP servers, OLE for Process Control (OPC) servers. To connect a HiQ object to external data sources, use the DataSocket property page or the object properties from HiQ-Script. MATLAB® Browser Interactively browse through MATLAB® variables in the current session using the HiQ Explorer. The list of MATLAB® variables is equivalent to the results from executing the MATLAB® who command. The MATLAB® -mode commands get and set transfer data from MATLAB® to HiQ and from HiQ to MATLAB® , respectively. Now with the MATLAB® browser, you can simply drag-and-drop from the Notebook Objects list to the MATLAB® browser to send HiQ data to MATLAB® , or from the MATLAB® browser to the Notebook Objects list or Notebook page to copy MATLAB® data to HiQ. Custom Color Maps You can now define custom color maps for your three-dimensional plots using the property pages or the plot object properties from HiQ-Script. You interactively create a custom color map by clicking on the Customize button on the Plots–General property page. Custom color maps provide the following features:
Irregular Surface Plot Style Triangulate arbitrarily arranged data with the addPlot, createPlot, createGraph, or changePlotData functions. Each of these built-in functions now has the option to create a surface from a set of (x, y, z) points. Use the new signatures below to create a surface where the x, y, and z data are integer or real vectors. Note: National Instruments does not support HiQ functionality on Mac OS in LabVIEW 7.0 and will no longer support HiQ functionality on all platforms after LabVIEW 7.0. If your application uses HiQ VIs, consider replacing them with the Analyze and Mathematics VIs. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for information about using the Analyze and Mathematics VIs. You access the LabVIEW Help by selecting Help»VI, Function, & How-To Help. MATLAB® is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc.
