Aims
To introduce the students to a graphical based programming language that enables
the user to program via a CAD style environment enabling them to create virtual
instruments as a base for data acquisition and instrument control.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Use LabView to design a simple control and instrumentation system simulation
2.
Use LabView designs as subVI's in more complicated designs
3.
Control external hardware using LabView
4.
Perform data collection, analysis and storage.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:LabVIEW environment
How LabVIEW differs from traditional programming languages.
Define a VI, how to open, create and save VI's and templates.
Front panels
How they function and what are they used for.
What components make up the front panel.
Block diagrams
How they differ to front panels.
How they are constructed.

Shift registers
What are the functions of shift registers.
How and when to use them.
Case Structures
How to construct a case structure.
How they differ from other structures in LabVIEW.
Visual Displays: Charts & Graphs
