Taret - Intro To LabVIEW - Exercises

This document contains exercises for learning LabVIEW. It includes 5 exercises to create LabVIEW VIs: 1. A VI that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit. 2. Adding an icon and connector to the temperature conversion VI. 3. A thermometer VI that acquires temperature from a sensor and displays it. 4. A temperature monitor VI that acquires the temperature every 500ms and displays it on a chart. 5. A temperature analysis VI that measures temperature over 4 seconds, displays it in real-time, and calculates minimum, maximum, and average temperatures after acquisition is complete.

CHAPTER 1: LABVIEW EXERCISES

1. LabVIEW exercises
1.1. Exercise 1 (Convert C to F)
Create VI that will take a numeric value representing degrees Celsius and converts it to
degrees Fahrenheit (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Save VI as Convert C to F.vi.

1.2. Exercise 2
Create icon (Figure 3) and connector (Figure 4) for virtual instrument created in Exercise 1
(Convert C to F.vi). Assign Deg C as input and Deg F as output.

1.3. Exercise 3 (Thermometer)


Create virtual instrument that will acquire temperature from the sensor and show it in
Temperature indicator on the VI front panel (Figure 5). The sensor returns a voltage

proportional to temperature. For example, if the temperature is 23 C, the sensor output


voltage is 0.23 V. Create also an icon and connector for this VI (Figure 7).

1.4. Exercise 4 (Temperature Monitor)


Create temperature monitor LabVIEW application. Create VI that will acquire temperature
every 500 mili seconds temperature and displays it on the waveform chart (Figure 8).

1.5. Exercise 5 (Temperature Analysis)


Create VI that measures temperature every 0.1 s for 4 s. During the acquisition, the VI
should display the measurements in real time on a waveform chart. After the acquisition is
complete, the VI must plots the data on a graph and calculates the minimum, maximum,
and average temperatures and present them on VI front panel indicators.
