A08 - Pseudo DAC

Due:  Wednesday, February 21 by 4:00 p.m. via eMail to Doug.Harper@wku.edu 

Create a VI that will convert a binary number (represented by a Boolean array) to a scaled digital value.  The VI should first convert the Boolean array to a digital value in the range from 0 to 2^N - 1 where N is the number of bits in the number (the number of elements in the array).  The binary value should be displayed on the screen as an array of LEDs with the LED corresponding to the most significant bit on the far left and the LED corresponding to the least significant bit on the far right.  There should be a cluster containing a Minimum and Maximum value (default values of 0.00 and 5.00 respectively) that will describe the range and polarity of the Psuedo DAC.  After converting the binary value to a value in the range from 0 to 2^N - 1, this value should be scaled so that 0 represents the minimum value and 2^N represents the maximum value (which is never obtained). 

The most straightforward way of doing this will be to use a for loop to process the array and a shift register to accumulate the decimal sum of the individual binary bits.
