LAB EXPERIMENT # 13
OBJECTIVE: -
Introduction to DAQ
Frequency measurement in LabVIEW
EQUIPMENT: -
1. LABVIEW Software
2. Computer
3. DAQ
DATA ACQUISITION: -
Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of measuring an electrical or physical phenomenon such as
voltage, current, temperature, pressure, or sound with a computer. A DAQ system consists of sensors,
DAQ measurement hardware, and a computer with programmable software. Compared to traditional
measurement systems, PC-based DAQ systems exploit the processing power, productivity, display,
and connectivity capabilities of industry-standard computers providing a more powerful, flexible, and
cost-effective measurement solution.

APPLICATIONS: -
PROCEDURE:
Open LabVIEW and create a New VI. Switch to the block diagram (Ctrl+E).
The DAQ Assistant Express VI can be found on the Functions palette by going to Express »
Input. Place the DAQ Assistant on the block diagram by dragging and dropping it from the
Functions palette. The Assistant should automatically launch when you drop the VI on the
diagram.
47
On the first screen, select Acquire Signals and then Analog Input for your Measurement Type.
Next, select Voltage.
The next screen lets you select the physical channel (or channels) for which you are creating this
task. All supported data acquisition hardware devices should appear in the tree control, and you can
expand them to view a list of the physical channels that you can select for your task. To select more
than one channel, hold down the Ctrl button while clicking on the channel names.
