Due: Friday, January 12 by 4:00 p.m. in the PLAB DropBox
Install the Student Edition of LabVIEW 6i on your
personal computer (if you purchased this version).
Read Chapter 1 of Learning with LabVIEW to familiarize
yourself with:
- the various icons and menus on the Front Panel and
Block Diagram toolbar,
- the various items in the File, Edit, Operate,
Project, Windows, and Help menus,
- pop-up menus,
- the Tools, Controls, and Functions palette, and
- the LabVIEW Help system.
Also begin reading Chapter 2 to familiarize yourself
with some of the basic concepts of Virtual Instruments including:
- Controls and Indicators
- Terminals
- Wires
- Front Panel
- Block Diagram
- Data Flow Programming
Write a simple Virtual Instrument that will have three
controls
- Raw Data Value (x, double precision real
number),
- Slope (m, double precision real number:
default value of 1.0),
- Intercept (b, double precision real number:
default value of 0.0), and
and one indicator:
- Scaled Data Value (y, double precision real
number).
Apply a linear scale to x by multiplying it by
the slope and adding the intercept (i.e. y = m x + b).
Be sure that each control and indicator displays a precision of 3 digits
beyond the decimal place. Put your name on the front panel of the
VI.
Save the VI with the name 'A01-last.vi' where last
is your last name and place it in the PLAB DropBox. |
