IM Lab 14-Spring 2017

This document provides instructions for Lab Exercise #14 which involves interfacing a temperature sensor, thermocouple, and load cell with LabVIEW. The objectives are to use LabVIEW for data acquisition from these sensors. Students will install LabVIEW 2016 and LINX libraries, upload firmware to an Arduino data acquisition device, and write graphical programs in LabVIEW to acquire and display data from each sensor. The post-lab task is to submit the LabVIEW simulations and code for evaluation.

Remarks: ______________________________________________

General Guidelines

- Each lab session would start with a brief quiz from the previous labs. Therefore, it is
imperative not to forget any of the previous labs while performing the current lab.
- Lab sessions must be completed within the allocated 3 hours and the filled manual must be
submitted back to the lab-engineer before leaving the lab. This is obligatory. In case of any
issues in not being able to complete the lab and submit the manual in the allocated time,
the issue must be communicated to the lab-engineer before or during the lab asking for an
exemption.
* Students who were absent in this lab must contact the lab-engineer with a rational
reason of their absence and must conduct the lab themselves and submit the manual
within one-week after the lab.

Lab Objectives:
Use of LabVIEW for data acquisition from Temperature sensor, Ultrasonic sensor
and Loadcell.

Pre-requisites:
LabVIEW 2016
MakerHUB Library for Arduino
Arduino

Lab Theory:
LabVIEW is great tool for data acquisition from any digital or analog sensors, in this lab we
will use this tool to interface LabVIEW with Data Acquisition device i.e. Arduino, then we
will connect sensors with the Arduino and will write the graphical programming code for
that sensor on LabVIEW window that is also called virtual instrument or .VI file.

Lab Performance Steps:

1- First of all, install LabVIEW 2016 in your PC/LAPTOP


2- Then open VI Package manager from your start button and in search bar type
LINX.
3- Then install first Library in the list by Right clicking it and install.
4- After installing open LabVIEW 2016 and open tools> MakerHUB > Firmware
5- After Uploading firmware, listen to instructions provided by Lab Engineer.

Post Lab Task:


Submit the simulation and the code for three sensors in hard copy. Also, show simulations
in LabVIEW in Lab.
