Introduction

1.1 WHAT IS LABVIEW?

In the past, LabVIEW was just a graphical programming language that was

developed to make it easier to collect data from laboratory instruments using

data acquisition systems. LabVIEW was always easy to use once you got used

to wiring connectors to write your computer programs, and it definitely makes

data acquisition an easier task than without LabVIEW, but LabVIEW is not

just for data acquisition any more.

LabVIEW can be used to perform the following:

• acquire data from instruments

• process data (e.g., filtering, transforms)

• analyze data

• control instruments and equipment

For engineers, LabVIEW makes it possible to bring information from

the outside world into a computer, make decisions based on the acquired data,

and send computed results back into the world to control the way a piece of

equipment operates.

As an example, the LabVIEW program (front panel) shown in Figure 1.1

reads a process measurement (a temperature value) from a piece of equipment,

compares the measured process temperature with the desired temperature

(called a setpoint), and outputs a signal to a controller to try to control the

temperature at the setpoint value. You can see in Figure 1.1 that when the

temperature went above setpoint, the controller output decreased. This causes

a valve on a heat source to close (partially) to bring the temperature back to

setpoint.

In this brief example:

• A temperature value was read from an external device.

• The desired setpoint temperature was entered on a control on the front panel.

• A controller output was calculated using a PI Controller algorithm.

• The controller output was written to an external device.

text. Instead, we will focus on using the mathematical power of LabVIEW to

tackle the analysis of data sets, whether they are acquired from an experimental

system or not.

1.2.2 LabVIEW Versions

LabVIEW is a well-developed program, and the changes from one version to another

are small.The author has used LabVIEW 8.5 and LabVIEW 2009 Full versions with no

added bells or whistles in developing the examples in this text. For the material covered

in this text, users of earlier versions of LabVIEW will see very few differences.

LabVIEW is sold in the following packages:

• Base Package—reduced mathematics functionality

• Full Package—complete set of math functions

• Student Edition—full package with a watermark in the lower right corner of each

front panel

• Professional Package—can create stand-alone applications

• NI Developer Suite—includes extra add-ons and toolkits

In this text, we will make use of many of the math functions that are available

only in the Full, Student, Professional, and Developer packages. Some of the more

advanced analysis techniques illustrated in this text will be unavailable in the Base

package. For example,

It is assumed that the reader has access to at least the Student LabVIEW package.

1.3 CONVENTIONS IN THE TEXT

The following conventions are used in this text:

• Keywords—shown in italics the first time they appear.

• Literals—items meant to be typed exactly as they appear in the text are shown in

bold font.
