A lab report detailing the experience of using labview software and pci-1200 daq card for data acquisition. The report covers three scenarios: configuring the computer to accept an external sine wave, reading out a voltage signal via a multimeter, and turning on an external led. Figures of labview diagrams and front panels for each scenario.

Armando Meneses EGR- Lab #2- Introduction to LabView and DAQ cards. Performed: 9-16- Due: 9-23- Purpose: To learn how further use the computers equipped with A/D and digital inputs. Equipment: PC with LabView software and PCI-1200 DAQ card. Interface cable PLC trainer board Signal generator Digital multimeter LED Assorted resistors Procedure: To accurately setup the computer and other equipment to complete the following three scenarios: Scenario #1 consists of configuring the computer through LabView to accept an external sine wave via a DAQ board. Scenario #2 consists of configuring the computer through LabView to read out a voltage signal via a multimeter. Scenario #3 consists of configuring the computer through LabView to properly turn on an external LED via a Circuit Design Trainer. Charts and Graphs: Figure #1-The LabView diagram and front panel for the first scenario Figure #2-The LabView diagram and front panel for the second scenario. Figure #3-The LabView diagram and front panel for the third scenario. Results: The first set-up was quite interesting. The sine wave was fed as input into the computer. The output was seen on the LabView front panel. The second scenario was a bit more difficult. The voltage was this time fed out of the computer as output. A multimeter was used to read the voltage put out by the circuit drawn in LabView. The third scenario consisted of making an LED indicator light, using the given circuit. This was done by
the circuit in LabView. The circuit served as the signal to turn the LED on using the Circuit Design Trainer. Conclusion: The lab was a success. The three scenarios were designed in LabView. The computer and DAQ card were used to read in and read out a signal. That signal varied from an LED being lit, to a voltage being read. LabView is a powerful tool for any engineer who needs to perform data acquisition. This lab teaches basic ideas about LabView and the DAQ board, which can help an engineer design more complicated scenarios.
