Objective: Develop a basic understanding of the
National Instruments data acquisition card and LabVIEW data
acquisition and control software.
Lab Outline:
- Work through chapters 1,2,3,5 of the LabVIEW QuickStart Guide
- In chapter 3, use function generator to generate voltage signal
for the temperature example and view the voltage by choosing
Bench-Top Instruments -> One Channel Oscilloscope rather than
Data Logging within the Solutions Gallery.
- Show me the random number generator and plot created at the end
of chapter 2.
- Show me the analog input from the function generator and plot
created at the end of chapter 3.
- Download the PWM VI and use LabVIEW's help
if necessary to understand what is happening. Once you feel
comfortable with the VI's operation, add a plot to it and display
the PWM signal generated via an analog input. Demonstrate the
operation of PWM and its display to me.
