-The main VI (gas_rack_controller.vi) is in the folder "Controller and SubVIs" folder along with the SubVIs it directly calls.

A copy of the exectuable along with the helper files are inside the folder called "builds". Some of the SubVIs outside the "Controller and SubVIs" folder are also needed. There are some unused VIs.

 +The LabVIEW code was written in LabVIEW 2012. If using the .exe instead of the VI, LabVIEW itself does not need to be installed but you must have the LabVIEW run-time engine (version 2012f3) and DAQmx 9.4.0 installed.

 +The main VI (mixer_controllerYYYY-MM-DD.vi) is included along with the necessary SubVIs. A copy of the pre-compiled executable along with a few helper files is alongside these files in another folder called “builds”. Also included are the necessary auxiliary files the controller needs access to which are the three log text files it writes to plus the config file "gas mixer.ini" and the mail list it reads from.

 +The LabVIEW code was lasted edited in LabVIEW 2012. If using the .exe instead of the VI, LabVIEW itself does not need to be installed but you must have the LabVIEW run-time engine (version 2012f3) and DAQmx 9.5.1 installed.

 +The CPLD firmware is also included:
