ELEC1375 LabVIEW Fundamentals and Applications
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical programming environment used to model applications that require testing, measurement and control. In this course, students will develop data acquisition, instrument control, data logging and measurement analysis applications. LabVIEW’s graphical approach allows students to program without the need to master complex coding. LabVIEW’s user interface can display the results as Graphs, Gauges and LEDs. A majority of this course involves hands on activities, including modelling and simulating real world applications. At the end of this course students will demonstrate competence by creating an application to acquire, process, display and store real-world data.
