Assignment 2: Project Assignment
Assignment 2 is your opportunity to use LabVIEW on a problem of your own
choosing. You will need to decide on a suitable problem and then create a simple
VI that solves that problem. You must then write a report on the VI you create.
The layout of the report should include an Introduction, where you describe the
problem, its practical importance and the objective of the study, a Methods
section, where you give a description of the front panel, block diagram and any
hardware used in your problem and a Results and Discussion section, in which
you describe the results and discuss their relevance, comment on debugging
techniques used to detect errors, and comment on possible improvements to the
whole process. The whole manuscript should also include appropriate screen
captures of your VIs, plots and graphs of results, and references.
You are required to submit either an MS Word File or pdf of the report, and your
VI files. The length of the project report should not exceed 8 pages. This
assignment accounts for 80% of the course assessment.
The submitted VI files should be saved to be compatible with LabVIEW 2014 or
earlier. Where appropriate ensure any SubVIs or control files (.ctl) must also be
attached. If you plan on using VIs from non-standard packages (eg NI Vision
Development Module) please contact the course supervisor in advance to so that
they can make arrangements to assess your work.
