Lab #6: Intro to DAC and ADC in


LabVIEW
Abstract
The purpose of this lab was to get more familiar with the functions and limitations of analog-to-digital
converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC). In section A of this lab, a labVIEW program was
written that would utilize the DAQs DAC in order to create an analog signal using labVIEW. In section B,
a staircase ADC was built using the built in DAC of the DAQ and a comparator. The staircase ADC was
then modified to start each ramp from the previous value as opposed to resetting to 0 each time. In
section C of this lab, a sample and hold circuit was added to the ADC from section B in order to get more
accurate readings.
