AE698 Syllabus

AE698 is an introduction to virtual instrumentation course covering topics like the LabVIEW programming environment, programming structures, data acquisition systems, and instrument control over 12 weeks. Students learn about the LabVIEW front panel, block diagram, and palettes in week 1. Subsequent weeks cover LabVIEW graphs, arrays, strings, file I/O, data acquisition fundamentals, analog input, and VIs. Later weeks focus on instrument control using VISA, serial communication, GPIB, and measurement techniques like motion control and image acquisition. Homework includes exercises on LabVIEW programming structures, data acquisition, and a mini-project at the end of the semester.
