Lab report (1)
NI card (National Instruments USB)

Designed for a wide range of applications, this card is an essential tool for
engineers, scientists, and researchers who demand high-quality data acquisition.

It consists of

Plug-and-Play USB Connectivity: These devices connect to a PC via


USB, making setup

simple and convenient. They are portable and compatible with


most modern computer systems.

Multi-Function I/O: Many NI USB devices provide multiple types of input/output


functionality,

including:

Analog Inputs for reading continuous signals (e.g., temperature, sound).

Analog Outputs for generating continuous signals (e.g., controlling actuators).

Digital Inputs/Outputs for binary signal monitoring and control (e.g., switches,

LEDs).

Compatibility with LabVIEW: NI USB devices are highly compatible with National

Instruments’ software, such as LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument


Engineering

Workbench). LabVIEW offers a visual programming

environment, ideal for creating data acquisition, instrument

control, and automation applications.

Driver Support: NI provides drivers (e.g., NI-DAQmx)

for NI USB devices, which allow users to interact with

hardware in various programming environments like

LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and MATLAB.


And here’s some of specification to NI USB-6003
Low-Cost DAQ USB Device

The following specifications are typical at 25 C, unless otherwise noted. For more

Second, Arduino:

is an open-source electronics platform that has transformed the way people

approach electronic projects, design, and prototyping. By combining accessible


hardware

with user-friendly software, Arduino has empowered beginners, hobbyists, students,


and

professionals to create innovative and interactive projects in electronics. The


Arduino

ecosystem has found applications in numerous fields, from robotics and


environmental

sensing to Internet of Things (IoT) applications, education, and creative arts. This
essay

explores the development of Arduino, its hardware and software components, its
impact

on the tech and education industries, and its significance in promoting creativity and

innovation in technology.

Arduino Hardware Components


Digital and Analog Pins: Arduino boards are equipped with digital input/output pins,

enabling users to connect various components, such as LEDs, buttons, and sensors.

Analog pins, on the other hand, are used for reading analog signals, useful for
connecting

sensors that provide variable outputs, like temperature sensors and potentiometers.

USB Interface: A USB port allows users to connect the Arduino board to a computer,

both for programming and for serial communication, which facilitates debugging and

real-time monitoring.

Power Sources: Arduino boards can be powered through USB or an external battery,
making them versatile for both stationary and mobile applications.

Other Components: Many Arduino boards also feature built-in LEDs, reset buttons,
and

voltage regulators, further simplifying the prototyping process.

Arduino types

1. Arduino Uno

Description: The Arduino Uno is the most popular and widely


used Arduino

board, ideal for beginners due to its simplicity and versatility.
