Description
Open eHS Real Time Power Electronics Simul. Toolbox (cRIO903x) by OPAL-RT Technologies.
Open eHS Real Time Power Electronics Simulation Toolbox (cRIO903x) is an FPGA based electrical solver developed by OPAL-RT technologies for the NI compactRIO platform. The core of the system is an FPGA based electrical solver named eHS. eHS is a floating-point solver that enables the user to simulate an electric circuit on FPGA automatically, without having to write mathematical equations. The eHS firmware is reconfigurable, therefore it simulates different circuits without needing to change the FPGA firmware. It combines the simplicity of building electric circuits models using the SimPowerSystems Toolbox, Psim or Multisim 13 with the strength of OPAL-RT FPGA-based simulators to solve the currents and voltages within the circuit, in real-time with a sample time in the range from 100ns to 1us.

Overview
The LabVIEW 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.
The Electrical Power Toolkit complies with the following standards:

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 KB 4CJDP38M, Automating the Installation of a Single Installer.
- For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, How Do I Automate the Installation of a Suited Installer?.
- To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My NI Installer?.
