Experiment Number 03
Section ETC-3
Aim of The Experiment:- Overview of LabVIEW for signal processing and design &
determination of frequency, amplitude and phase of various types of signals using
LabVIEW(Design Problem:To design a virtual waveform generator (Sine, Square,
Triangular, Sawtooth) using case structures in LabVIEW.)
Objective:- The objective is to design and implement a virtual waveform generator using case
structures in LabVIEW. This virtual waveform generator should be capable of generating four
different types of waveforms: Sine, Square, Triangular, and Sawtooth.
Theory:-
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a powerful and
versatile software platform developed by National Instruments for various applications,
including signal processing.A virtual waveform generator is a software program that can
generate and output different types of waveforms, such as Sine, Square, Triangular, and
Sawtooth waveforms.
Signal Processing Functions: LabVIEW provides a comprehensive set of built-in signal
processing functions and libraries, including filtering, Fourier analysis, spectral analysis,
convolution, and statistical analysis, among others. These functions are available as blocks that
you can drag and drop onto the block diagram.
Signal Acquisition: Begin by acquiring the signal of interest using LabVIEW's data acquisition
capabilities. Ensure that the signal is properly sampled and conditioned for further processing.
Frequency Analysis: Use LabVIEW's Fourier transform functions (such as the Fast Fourier
Transform) or other spectral analysis tools to convert your time-domain signal into the frequency
domain. This transformation reveals the frequency components present in the signal.
Amplitude and Phase Analysis: Analyze the magnitude and phase information from the
frequency domain representation to determine the amplitude and phase of specific frequency
components.
Visualization: Display the frequency, amplitude, and phase information on the front panel using
waveform graphs, charts, or indicators for clear visualization.

Conclusion:
LabVIEW has been successfully used for determining the output graphs for virtual waveform
generator such as Sine, Square, Triangular, Sawtooth using case structures using the parameters
frequency, amplitude, and phase.
LabVIEW is a versatile and powerful tool for signal processing tasks. Its ability to handle both
real-time and offline signal processing tasks make it an indispensable tool.
