Introduction to LabVIEW
Virtual Instrumentation:
Virtual instrumentation is the use of customizable software and modular measurement
hardware to create user-defined measurement systems, called virtual instruments. Traditional
hardware instrumentation systems are made up of pre-defined hardware components, such as
digital multimeters and oscilloscopes that are completely specific to their stimulus, analysis, or
measurement function. Because of their hard-coded function, these systems are more limited
in their versatility than virtual instrumentation systems. The primary difference between
hardware instrumentation and virtual instrumentation is that software is used to replace a large
amount of hardware. The software enables complex and expensive hardware to be replaced by
already purchased computer hardware; e. g. analog-to-digital converter can act as a hardware
complement of a virtual oscilloscope, a potentiostat enables frequency response acquisition
and analysis in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with virtual instrumentation.
R A G H U N A T H
Layers of Virtual Instrumentation

• Application Software: Most people think immediately of the application software layer. This
is the primary development environment for building an application.
• Test and Data Management Software: Above the application software layer the test executive
and data management software layer. This layer of software incorporates all of the functionality
developed by the application layer and provides system-wide data management.
• Measurement and Control Services Software: The last layer is often overlooked, yet critical
to maintaining software development productivity.
LabVIEW
Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a graphical
programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. In contrast
to text-based programming languages, where instructions determine program execution,
LabVIEW uses dataflow programming, where the flow of data determines execution. In
LabVIEW, a user interface can be build by using a set of tools and objects. The user interface
is known as the front panel. Then code can be added using graphical representations of
functions to control the front panel objects. The block diagram contains this code. In some
ways, the block diagram resembles a flowchart.
LabVIEW programs are one of the suitable for virtual instruments, or VIs, because their
appearance and operation imitate physical instruments, such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
Every VI uses functions that manipulate input from the user interface or other sources and
display that information or move it to other files or other computers.
A VI contains the following three components:
Front panel - Serves as the user interface. Fig 1 shows front panel example.
Block diagram - Contains the graphical source code that defines the functionality of the VI.
Icon and connector panel - Identifies the VI so that the VI can be used in another VI. A VI
within another VI is called a subVI. A subVI corresponds to a subroutine in text-based
programming languages. Fig 2 shows Block diagram of VI programming.
Dept Of ECE 4
Fig 1. Front Panel of Virtual Instrumentation.vi

R A G H U N A T H
Fig 2. Block Diagram of Virtual Instrumentation.vi
The front panel is the user interface of the VI. The front panel is build with controls and
indicators, which are the interactive input and output terminals of the VI, respectively. Controls
are knobs, pushbuttons, dials, and other input devices. Indicators are graphs, LEDs, and other
displays. Controls simulate instrument input devices and supply data to the block diagram of
the VI. Indicators simulate instrument output devices and display data the block diagram
acquires or generates. After the front panel is build, add code using graphical representations
of functions to control the front panel objects. The block diagram contains this graphical source
code. Front panel objects appear as terminals on the block diagram.
Additionally, the block diagram contains functions and structures from built-in LabVIEW VI
libraries. Wires connect each of the nodes on the block diagram, including control and indicator
terminals, functions, and structures.
LabVIEW Palettes
LabVIEW palettes give provide the options needed to create and edit the front panel and block
diagram. The Tools palette is available on the front panel and the block diagram. A tool is a
Dept Of ECE 5
special operating mode of the mouse cursor. By selecting a tool, the cursor icon changes to the
tool icon. Use the tools to operate and modify front panel and block diagram objects.
Select Window » Show Tools Palette to display the Tools palette.
The Tools palette can be placed anywhere on the screen. If automatic tool selection is enabled
and as the cursor is moved over objects on the front panel or block diagram, LabVIEW
automatically selects the corresponding tool from the Tools palette.
The Controls palette
The Controls palette is available only on the front panel. The Controls palette contains the
controls and indicators used to create the front panel. to display the Controls palette, Select
Window » Show Controls Palette or right-click the front panel workspace. The Controls palette
can be placed anywhere on the screen. Fig 3 shows control pallete.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Controls and Indicators
– Controls are knobs, push buttons, dials and other input devices.
– Indicators are graphs, LEDs and other displays.
– Controls simulate instrument input devices and supply data to the block diagram of
the VI.
– Indicators simulate instrument output devices and display data the block diagram
acquires or generates.
– Every control or indicator has a data type associated with it. They are numeric data
type, boolean data type, string data type
Block Diagram
Terminals
– Front panel object appear as terminals on the block diagram.
– Terminals are entry and exit ports that exchange information between the front panel
and block diagram.
– Terminals are analogous to parameters and constants in text-based programming
languages. Types of terminals include control or indicator terminals and node terminals.
– Control and indicator terminals belong to front panel controls and indicators.
– Data you enter into the front panel controls enter the block diagram through the control
terminals.
– The terminals represent the data type of the control or indicator.
– You can configure front panel controls or indicators to appear as icon or data type
terminals on the block diagram.
– By default, front panel objects appear as icon terminals.
Dept Of ECE 8
– To display a terminal as a data type on the block diagram, right-click the terminal and
select View As Icon from the shortcut menu
Wires
– You can transfer data among block diagram objects through wires.
– Each wire has a single data source, but you can wire it to many VIs and functions that
read the data.
– Wires are different colors, styles and thicknesses, depending on their data types.
– A broken wire appears as a dashed black line with a red X in the middle.
– Broken wires occur for a variety of reasons, such as when you try to wire two objects
with incompatible data types.
– You must connect the wires to inputs and outputs that are compatible with the data that
is transferred with the wire.
– You cannot wire an array output to a numeric input.
– In addition, the direction of the wires must be correct. You must connect the wires to
only one input and at least one output.
– You cannot wire two indicators together
R A G H U N A T H
– <Ctrl+B> to delete all broken wires or right click and select Clean Up Wire to reroute
the wire.
Data Flow Program

– LabVIEW follows a dataflow model for running VIs.
– A block diagram node executes when all its inputs are available.
– When a node completes execution, it supplies data to its output terminals and passes
the output data to the next node in the dataflow path.
– Visual Basic, C++, JAVA, and most other text-based programming languages follow a
control flow model of program execution.

FACTORIAL OF A NUMBER
AIM:
To perform the factorial of a given number using FOR loop.
THEORY:
Factorial is an important function, which is used to find how many ways things can be arranged
or the ordered set of numbers. The factorial concept is used in many mathematical concepts
such as probability, permutations and combinations, sequences and series, etc. In short, a
factorial is a function that multiplies a number by every number below it till 1. For example,
the factorial of 3 represents the multiplication of numbers 3, 2, 1, i.e. 3! = 3 × 2 × 1 and is equal
to 6.
R A G H U N A T H
A For Loop is a structure you use to execute a block of code a set number of times. When the
VI runs, the iteration count is evaluated, and then the code is executed.A For Loop can be
configured to conditionally stop code execution in addition to its iteration-based exit. In these
cases, the code will execute until the count terminal setting is reached or the condition is met
– whichever happens first.The structure of FOR loop in LabVIEW is shown below in Fig.4.1.
Fig:4.1 Structure of FOR loop
In FOR loop structure , N is the count and I is the iteration value. Initial value of I is zero.
PROCEDURE
Step 2: Click right on the front panel from the control palette selects numeric and then
selects control .
Step 3: Right click on the block diagram panel , select program , go to structures and select a
FOR loop.
Dept Of ECE 19
Step 4: Connect the numeric control in which the user input will be stored to the N. Right click
on the border of the FOR loop and select add shift register, borders are converted into shift
register.
Step 5: To initialize the shift register, from the function palette select numeric and then select
constant. Place this numeric with the shift register and set its value to 1.
Step 6: For the multiplication task place a multiply block, from the function
palette select numeric and then select multiply. At one of the two inputs of the multiply block
connect the right shift register, and the output of this block connect the right shift register.
Step 7: On the other input of the multiply block we have to connect the incremented iteration
because the number of iterations start from 0 but we want the factorial from 1 onwards, because
the factorial will turn out to be zero otherwise. From the function palette select numeric and
then select increment.
Step 8: At the input of this increment block connect the iterative index of the for loop, and
R A G H U N A T H
connect the output of this increment block to the remaining input of the multiply block.

unless x is complex. If x is a matrix, this function takes the matrix square root of x. The connector pane
displays the default data types for this polymorphic function. x can be a scalar number, array or cluster
of numbers and array of clusters of numbers. sqrt(x) is a double-precision, floating-point number if x
is an integer. If x is less than 0, sqrt(x) is not a number (NaN).

EXPERIMENT 6
FACTORIAL OF A NUMBER USING WHILE LOOP
AIM :
To find factorial of a number using while Loop in LabVIEW.
THEORY:
Use shift registers when you want to pass values from previous iterations through a loop to the
next iteration. A shift register appears as a pair of terminals, shown as follows, directly opposite
each other on the vertical sides of the loop border. The terminal on the right side of the loop
contains an up arrow and stores data on the completion of an iteration. LabVIEW transfers the
data stored in the right terminal of the shift register to the left terminal. The loop then uses the
R A G H U N A T H
data from the left terminal as the initial values for the next iteration. This process continues
until all iterations of the loop execute. After the loop executes, the terminal on the right side of
the loop returns the last value stored in the shift register. A shift register transfers any data type
and automatically changes to the data type of the first object wired to the shift register. The
data you wire to the terminals of each shift register must be the same type. If you have multiple
operations that use previous iteration values within a loop, use multiple shift registers to store
the data values from those different processes in the structure, as shown in the following block
diagram in Fig 6.1 and 6.2.
PROCEDURE:
Step 2: Right click on the block diagram panel , select program , go to structures
and select a WHILE loop.
Step 3: Right click on the border of the WHILE loop and select add shift register,borders are
converted into shift register.
Step 4: Using wiring operations required connections are given in the block

EXPERIMENT 7
SORTING EVEN NUMBERS USING WHILE LOOP IN AN
ARRAY
AIM:
To sort even numbers using WHILE loop in an array.
THEORY:
Loops are used for controlling the iteration and execution flow of programs. Charts display
the recent data and update periodically by maintaining a history of the past data.
While Loop
While Loop executes a subdiagram until a condition is met. The While Loop executes the
R A G H U N A T H
subdiagram until the conditional terminal, an input terminal, receives a specific Boolean value.
The default behavior and appearance of the conditional terminal is Continue If True. When a
conditional terminal is Continue If True, the While Loop executes its subdiagram until the
conditional terminal receives a FALSE value. To change the behavior and appearance of the
conditional terminal, right-click on the terminal and select Stop If True. When a conditional
terminal is Stop If True, the While Loop executes its subdiagram until the conditional terminal
receives a TRUE value. Because the VI checks the conditional terminal at the end of each
iteration, the While Loop always executes at least one time. The VI is broken if the conditional
terminal is not wired. Fig 7.1 shows example of while loop structure
Basic error handling can be performed using the conditional terminal of a While Loop. When
an error cluster s wired to the conditional terminal, only the TRUE or FALSE value of the
status parameter of the error cluster passes to the terminal. Also, the Stop If True and
Continue If True shortcut menu items change to Stop If Error and Continue while Error. The
iteration terminal (an output terminal) contains the number of completed iterations. The
iteration count always starts at zero. During the first iteration, the iteration terminal returns 0.
Fig.7.1. While Loop structure

• A While Loop executes a subdiagram until a condition is met.
• The While Loop is like a Do Loop or a Repeat-Until Loop in text-based
Dept Of ECE 27
programming languages.
• The While Loop always executes at least once.
• The For Loop differs from the While Loop in that the For Loop executes a set
number of times.
• A While Loop stops executing the subdiagram, only if the expected value at the
conditional terminal exists.

EXPERIMENT 8
FINDING ARRAY MAXIMUM AND ARRAY MINIMUM
AIM:
To find the maximum and minimum variable from an array.
THEORY:
Arrays
• A group of homogeneous elements of a specific data type is known as an array.
• Arrays hold a sequence of data elements,usually of the same size and same data
type placed in contiguous memory locations.
• Individual elements are accessed by their position in the array.
• The position is given by an index, which is also called as subscript
R A G H U N A T H
• Some arrays are multi-dimensional, generally one -and two- dimensional arrays are
the most common.
• You can build arrays of numeric, boolean, path, string and cluster data types.
• You cannot create arrays of arrays
1D Array Controls, Indicators and Constants

• The index ranges from 0 to 3. The first element in the array is at index 0, the second
element is at index 1, etc..
• In an array the element selected in the index display always refer to the element
shown in the upper left corner of the element display.
• The element (9) at index 0 is not shown in the array, because index 1 is selected in
the index display.
• Steps for creating an array constant
• Select an array constant from Functions » Programming » Arrays. Array shell
appears with an index display on the left, an empty element display on the right.
• Place a constant in the array shell.
• The array shell automatically resizes to accommodate the object place in the array
shell.
• Alternative method is to copy an existing array on the front panel to the block
diagram to create a constant of same data type.
Initializing Arrays
• When an array is initialized, define the number of elements in each dimension and
contents of each element.
• An uninitialized array has a dimension but no elements.
• An uninitialized array control with all the elements are dimmed indicating that the
array is uninitialized.
Inserting Elements within Arrays

• Place an Insert Into Array function on the block diagram.
• The index input specifies the element, row, column where to insert the element or array
with 0 being the first.
• Elements are added before the value wire to index.
2D Arrays
• A 2D arrays stores elements in a grid.
• It requires a column index and a row index to locate an element both of which are zero-
based.
• To create a 2D array on the front panel, right click the index display of the array and
select Add Dimension from the shortcut menu.

DEMONSTRATION EXPERIMENTS
EXPERIMENT 9
BUILD A VI THAT SIMULATES A HEATING AND COOLING
SYSTEM.THE SYSTEM MUST BE ABLE TO BE
CONTROLLED MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY.
AIM:
To build a vi that simulates a heating and cooling system.The system must be able to be
controlled manually or automatically.
The VI’s specifications are listed below.
• Must be able to be controlled automatically or manually

R A G H U N A T H
• In manual mode, the heater and air conditioning (AC) can be switched on/off by the
user
• In automatic mode, the heater and AC turn on/off based on the following conditions:
o The air conditioner is turned on when the temperature is above 80°F
o The heater is turned on when the temperature is below 60°F
o The heater and the air conditioner are turned off when the temperature is between
60°F and 80°F.
THEORY:
Structures are process control elements, such as while loops and for loops. The structure to be
used in this experiment is the case structure which is essentially multiple if-statements. A case
structure contains multiple subdiagrams (or cases), and a case will be executed depending on
the input to the case structure
PROCEDURE:
1. In the front panel, drag and drop three Round LEDs and three Slide Switches by going to
the Controls palette > Modern tab > Boolean. Each round LED and each slide switch will
represent the AC, heater, and manual mode. The round LEDs will indicate if the item is on,
and the slide switches will toggle the items on/off.
2. Rename the LEDs and their corresponding switches "Manual," "AC," and "Heater" to make
building the system clearer. This can be done by using the editing text tool in the Tools
palette.
3. Drag and drop a thermometer into the front panel (Controls palette > Modern tab > Numeric
> Thermometer).
4. In the back panel, right click the thermometer terminal and select Change to Control, and
observe how the arrow switches from the left side to the right side. This makes the
Dept Of ECE 35
thermometer a control that will give an input to the program, which in this case is
temperature.
5. In the back panel, insert a case structure to control the manual and automatic operation of
the heating and cooling system (Functions palette > Structures > Case Structure). To place
the case structure, click once to place one corner of the case structure, and once more to
place the other corner of the case structure.
6. Wire the slide switch designated as Manual to the case selector on the case structure. This
should automatically change the selector label values to True and False, if they were not
already, because the slide switch is a Boolean data type. The true value corresponds to
manual mode being on (where the user can directly toggle the heater and AC), while the
false value corresponds to manual mode being off (where the heater and AC are
automatically toggled by the system).
7. Because the temperature of the room is input into the system only when the system is not in
manual mode (the false case), the thermometer terminal should be moved into the false sub-
R A G H U N A T H
diagram.
8. In the true sub-diagram, wire the AC and heater switches directly to their corresponding
LEDs. This allows the switches to directly toggle their corresponding LEDs.
9. Staying in the true sub diagram, insert a True Constant (Functions palette > Programming
tab > Boolean > True Constant). Wire the true constant to the manual LED to turn the
manual LED on and indicate that the system is in manual mode.
10. In the false sub diagram, insert two Numeric Constants (Functions palette >
Programming > Numeric > Numeric Constant), one Greater? function and one Less?
function (Functions palette > Programming > Comparison). These will be used to build the
program for the heating and cooling system in automatic mode.
11. The less and greater functions compare what is wired to the upper input terminal to
what is wired to the lower input terminal. Wire the thermometer to the upper input terminals
of the less and greater functions. Set a numeric constant to 60 and the other to 80. Wire the
60 numeric constant to the lower input terminal of the less function and the 80 numeric
constant to the lower input terminal of the greater function. Wire the output terminal of the
greater function to the AC LED and wire the output of the less function to the heater LED.
12. In the false sub diagram, Insert a False Constant (Functions palette > Programming >
Boolean > False Constant) and wire it to the manual LED. This is to turn off the manual
LED and indicate that the system is in automatic mode.
13. The system is now complete. Click the continuously run button to control and test the
VI. If the continuously run button is faded out, that means the system is wired completely.
When successfully running the system, the gridlines in the background of the front panel
should disappear. Click the switches and thermometer on the front panel to test the system.

EXPERIMENT 11
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR
AIM:
To create and demonstrate water level indicator.
Description:
If No water is in tank then motor must be ON.
If water level crosses 8 then Motor must be OFF.
THEORY:
The water level indicator circuits are used in factories, chemical plants, and electrical substations and
R A G H U N A T H
in other liquid storage systems. There are many possible uses for this simple system, examples include
monitoring a sump pit (to control pump activation), rainfall detection, and leakage detection. Electronic
water level circuits have the capability of alerting if there is a water leak somewhere in the factory.
When the water level is too high or too low or exceeds the higher limit, it can detect the water level
easily by hearing an alarm sound or from different colors of a light bulb. We can also measure the fuel
level in motor vehicles and the liquid level containers which are huge in the companies.
The circuit is designed to indicate three levels of water stored in the tank: empty, half and full but not
overflowing. When there is no water in the tank, all the LEDs are off as an indication that the tank is
completely empty. Then, manually control the knob to turn ON LED. When water level increases and
touches the maximum limit, the OFF LED will glow indicating that there is water within the tank. As
the water level continues to rise and reaches half the tank, ON LED will still glow indicating tank is
filling.
The important LabVIEW components or tools, required to design a water level detector, list of
these components below:
• Tank
• Round Knob
• Upper Level Indicator
• Lower Level Indicator
• Numerical Indicator
• Graph to observe the results
Vertical pointer is used to control the level of the water in the tank. Upper level indicator shows
when the tank is about to completely fill. Lower level indicator shows indication by turning "ON"
the LED when the level of the water in the tank is too low and we need to fill it. Graphs shows the
graphical visualization as the vertical pointer moves up ow down.
