LABVIEW

The document provides an overview of LabVIEW, a graphical programming language used for data acquisition, instrumentation control, and industrial automation. It describes how LabVIEW uses graphical blocks and wires to create programs called virtual instruments (VIs), and how these VIs mimic physical instruments. It also outlines common LabVIEW tools and interfaces, basics of data acquisition systems, examples of temperature and voltage measurements, and applications in industries like process control, robotics, and biomedical.

Introduction to
LabVIEW = Laboratory +
Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench
. Lab VIEW is a graphical programming
language that uses icons instead of lines of text
to create programs.
. LabVIEW program called Virtual Instrument
produced by National Instruments in 1988.
. LabVIEW is a much loved tool of the scientist
and engineer.
. Jeff Kodosky is the “Father of LabVIEW”.
Virtual Instruments:
. Lab VIEW programs are called virtual
instruments, or VIs, because their appearance
and operation imitate physical instruments,
such as oscilloscopes and multimeters etc.
. After build the user interface, add code using VIs
and structures to control the front panel objects.
The block diagram contains this code.

Basic Examples :
 LabVIEW is written on graphical structure.

 While in LabVIEW summation is a function and it is


represent by following symbol.


In LabVIEW, such mathematical and logical functions are
represented graphically.

Introduction to DAQ Card
DAQ System
The building blocks of a DAQ system:
1. Transducer: A device that converts a physical
phenomenon such as light, temperature, pressure, or
sound into a measurable electrical signal such as
voltage or current.
2. Signal: The output of the transducer.
3. Signal conditioning: Hardware that you can connect
to the DAQ device to make the signal suitable for
measurement or to improve accuracy or reduce noise.
4. DAQ hardware: Hardware you use to acquire,
measure, and analyze data.
5. Software: NI application software is designed to help
you easily design and program your measurement
and control application (LABVIEW).
Types of Data Acquisition & Control Devices:
DAQ Device Properties:

 DAQ devices have four standard elements:

1. Analog input (AI)


2. Analog output (AO)
3. Digital I/O (DIO)
4. Counter/Timers
Feature of DAQ 6009:
. Eight 14-bit analog inputs.
. 12 digital I/O lines.
. 2 analog outputs.
. 1 counter.

How to Select DAQ Device & Accessories:

1. Open the Labview program, in the Block Diagram


select functions, express input then select the DAQ
Assistant icon.
2. Select “Analog Input” so as to input your analog
data to the computer and Labview.
3. We have 16 physical input channels from ai0
to ai15, select a channel like ai0.
4. Select your input voltage setup
5. Now make the connections and select test then
Run to see the input voltage.
