Aims
This module is designed to introduce Matlab coding for scientific computation, and system simulation using Simulink.
The module will enable students with a background in using a traditional high-level programming language, but no experience using National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW, to create virtual Instruments (VI's) and interface them with compatible hardware for data acquisition (DAQ) and control applications.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Use complex Matlab coding to solve complex ODEs and other high level scientific
computation problems.
2.
Simulate dynamic systems with Simulink.
3.
Construct a range of LabVIEW VI's which demonstrate the typical functionality
encountered in industrial and research applications.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Matlab coding: vector/matrix input and calculation, loop coding, condition coding, plot curves, coding and calling functions, M-file coding, M-file debugging.
Solving ODEs: dynamic system modelling, numerical methods for solving ODEs including fourth order Runge Kutta method, solving ODEs.
Simulink with Matlab: data communication including From workspace, To workspace, import and outport, calling Simulink model from Matlab.
Simulation with Simulink: dynamic system simulation examples with Matlab and Simulink.
Using the LabVIEW User Interface to navigate the LABVIEW software, and to find help using the built in
documentation system.
Understanding the architecture of a LabVIEW virtual instrument in terms of front panel and block diagram views. Introduce commonly used tools in the control and function palettes.
Understanding the dataflow model of execution in LabVIEW.
