    crazygutz
    This document discusses virtual instrumentation and LabVIEW. It introduces virtual instrumentation as using computer software to control external measurement hardware and display data on computer screens. Some advantages of virtual instruments are lower costs, portability, easy graphical interfaces, and code compilation. The document then covers basic components of virtual instruments like computers, software, interconnect buses, and hardware. It describes LabVIEW as a graphical programming language used for virtual instrumentation and discusses interfaces like the front panel, block diagram, and sub-VIs. Finally, it concludes that virtual instrumentation allows custom system design using an open framework.

    VIRTUAL
    INSTRUMENTATION

    Prepared
    By :
    INTRODUCTION

    A virtual instrumentation system is computer


    software that a user would employ to develop a
    computerized test and measurement system for
    controlling from a computer desktop an external
    measurement hardware device and for displaying test
    or measurement data collected by the external device
    on instrument-like panels on a computer screen.
    TRADITIONAL Vs VIRTUAL
    ADVANTAGES OF VIRTUAL
    INSTRUMENTS
     Lower costs of instrumentation
     Portability between various computer platforms
     Easy-to-use graphical user interface
     Graphical representation of program structures
     Code can be compiled to standalone .EXE or .DLL file
     TCP/IP connectivity (Web server integrated into
    virtual instrument)
    CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF EARLY
    COMPUTERISED INSTUMENTATION
    THE GENERAL CONCEPTION OF VIRTUAL
    INSTRUMENT
    FRONT PANEL AND BLOCK DIAGRAM

    VIRTUAL LABORATORY
    BASIC COMPONENTS OF VI
     Computer and Display
     Software
    -Driver level software
    - Register Level Software
    -High-level tool software
     Interconnect Buses
     Instrument Hardware
    INTERCONNECT BUSES

     SERIAL PORT

     GPIB
     PC-BUS
     VXI BUS

    A VXI bus system controlled by GPIB


    DISTRIBUTED MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
    LAB VIEW
     Lab VIEW is a graphical programming
    language that uses icons instead of lines of
    text.
     Lab VIEW is an integral part of virtual
    instrumentation.
     A virtual instrument consists of an industry
    standard computer or workstation equipped
    with powerful application software, effective
    hardware, and driver software.
    Interfaces of a VI
     Front pane: Serves as the user interface.
     Block diagram: Contains the graphical source code
    that defines the functionality of the VI.
     Icon and connector pane: Identifies the VI so that you
    can use the VI in another VI. A VI within another VI
    is called a sub VI.
     A sub VI corresponds to a subroutine in text-based
    programming languages
    User Interface of Tank Simulation
    Graphical Code of Tank Simulation
    Conclusion
     Virtual instrumentation is fueled by ever-advancing computer
    technology and offers you the power to create and define your
    own system based on an open framework.
     LabVIEW was designed with scientists and engineers in mind,
    providing powerful tools and a familiar development environment
    created specifically for the design of virtual instruments.
