About National Instruments at UR National Instruments leverages commercial technologies, such as industry-standard computers and the internet, to deliver customer-defined measurement and automation solutions to engineers and scientists around the world. At the University of Rochester, professors and students currently use our products in research and academia across many disciplines in engineering and the natural sciences. Our graphical programming development environment, LabVIEW, provides engineers, scientists and researchers the ability to develop test and measurement, data acquisition and control, scientific research, process monitoring, and factory automation applications, many of which could not have been developed using other more traditional development tools. |
LabVIEW is a graphical programming language aimed at scientists and engineers. It has built-in functionality for data acquisition, image acquisition, motion control, instrument control, distributed I/O, measurement analysis, remote access and data presentation. LabVIEW give you the flexibility of a powerful programming language without the complexity of traditional development environments and delivers extensive ACQUISITION, ANALYSIS, and PRESENTATION capabilities within a single environment, so you can seamlessly develop a complete solution on the platform of your choice. Data Acquisition With LabView, you can get up and running quickly to acquire and generate signals from plug-in boards, USB devices, and Ethernet-based systems. The data acquisition functionality includes:
Automatic configuration and test panels for verifying operation
Built-in channel configuration for scaling raw data, naming, and so on Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital I/O, Counter/timer functionalities
Using Sensors and Signal Conditioning with Data Acquisition
These I/O capabilities, combined with special datatypes and measurement analysis VIs (virtual instruments) are specifically designed to get the data or measurement you need from your physical sensors as fast and as easily as possible.
Intergrating LV and DAQ Demonstrate how to set up your system for data acquisition using LabVIEW and DAQ hardware. Go over the procedures and tips to follow when you do hardware installation and configuration instructions and point out some general information about controlling your data acquisition system using LabVIEW. |
