LabVIEW Touch Panel Module
for Windows CE
Version 8.5
The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module extends the LabVIEW graphical
development environment to Touch Panel devices so you can create
human-machine interface (HMI) applications for Touch Panel devices
running Windows CE. You can create custom touch panel displays to
communicate with National Instruments embedded real-time platforms,
such as Compact FieldPoint, CompactRIO, and Compact Vision System.
This manual contains new features for version 8.5, system requirements,
installation instructions, and a tutorial that shows you how to create a
