Lab #2- Introduction to LabView and DAQ cards.
Performed: 9-16-99
Due: 9-23-99
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 #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
