3.     LabVIEW manual. LABORATORY EXERCISES:
  • Set up a while loop to execute EXACTLY the predefined number of iterations.
  • Write a program to invert the state of a Boolean indicator twice a second, until the program is stopped by the user. The Boolean should initially be TRUE. Solve the problem using two different methods: Shift Register, and Local Variables.
  • Write a program to count Modulus 32 and display the values in decimal, Hexadecimal, octal and binary. Use a STOP button to stop your code programmatically. Use local variables to stop a while loop and reset the Stop button. The action of the switch should be set to Switch When Pressed or Switch When Released.
  • Set up a temperature simulator as follows. Allow for a user defined a set point (you may place it inside the while loop). In the while loop add an error amounting to a maximum of ±10°C to the set point. Set up over- and under-temperature LEDs to light up whenever the deviation is >5°C. The loop should operate once every second.
  • Build a VI using the while loop that displays random numbers (0-5) into three Waveform Charts (strip, scope, sweep). Incorporate appropriate switching and delays.
  • Build a VI that displays two random plots on a single chart. These should be random numbers (0<x<10) and their five point moving average. The points should appear on your plot as points, while the trend line should be a solid line.
  • Develop a VI to check if a number is positive or negative. If yes then the VI should calculate and display the square root. Otherwise it should display a message and give a value of –99999.00 as output.
  • Build a Four-Function Calculator. Use a Menu Ring to select the function required. Add a Divide by Zero Trap to your Code
  • Build a VI to compute and display the following equation (0 < x < 10) y1 = x3 – x2 + 5 y2 = mx + b
  • Set up two VIs as follows. One VI generates a reading of 80 ± 5 (error signal using a random number) every 500 ms, and has a Stop button. The second VI has a waveform chart, in a loop operating at the same time interval. Data is transferred from the first VI to the second through Global Variables. Run both the VIs at the same time, Change the timing of either of the loops and note the variation at output.
  • Set up an 8-bit Binary counter and display your results graphically. The graph should have 8-traces corresponding to bits 0-7. For this you may like to the Following: Number to Boolean Array, Boolean to (0,1).
  • Write a simple program to generate a Voltage at Analog Output 0 using a knob to select the voltage. Verify using a Multimeter.
  • Read the status of NI Instrument simulator by using its different commands.
  • Write a VI using DAQmx to do a continuous acquisition from the function generator on BNC2120. Try for 10kS/s and reading 1000 values at a time. Do not use Express VIs.You will need to use the following VIs – Physical Channels, Create Channels, Timing, Start Task, Read, Stop Task, Clear Task. Provide proper error handling.
  • Design an astable multivibrator circuit and verify the frequency of its output signal by using ELVIS instrument.
