selecting Touch Panel for Integrating with LabVIEW UI

hello,

I'm working on a project where I need to integrate a custom user interface (UI) developed in LabVIEW with a 10-15 inch touch panel display. I have a few specific questions regarding this integration.

 

 

  • Display Compatibility: What factors should I consider when selecting a touch panel display to ensure compatibility with a LabVIEW-based UI? Are there specific touch panel technologies (e.g., capacitive vs. resistive) that work better with LabVIEW?

  • Operating System Requirements: I’ve noticed that some touch panels come with an integrated Raspberry Pi OS. Can LabVIEW UIs be deployed on such systems? If not, what are the recommended operating systems or platforms that support LabVIEW runtime environments?

  • Integration Process: What are the steps to integrate a LabVIEW UI with a selected touch panel display? Are there any specific drivers or software components required to make the touch functionality work seamlessly with LabVIEW?

  • Sensor Interface: How can I interface sensor outputs to the touch panel display? Are there any displays that natively support integration with NI DAQ systems? If not, what is the recommended approach to route sensor data from the NI DAQ to the LabVIEW UI on the touch panel?

  • Performance Considerations: What are the key performance factors to keep in mind when selecting a touch panel display for LabVIEW UIs? How do screen resolution, touch response time, and processing power affect the UI experience?

IMO just grab a touch panel display that has HDMI in and USB out and you are good to go. Some are better than others for the USB mouse emulation so buy a few and pick your favorite. Dont get the RPi ones unless you really want to add a totally unnecessary layer of complexity in your system. For performance, it probably will not be an issue and if it is there is nothing your monitor can do to fix it.
